Wow! Just stumbled upon this and tried it - and YEAH! Thank you sooo much!!!
(I've tested on one Win7x64 and one Win8.1x64 and Milkdrop2 worked out-of-the-box in Kodi 14.1rc without the need of installing anything, btw.)

Well whataya know?! Installing Winamp fixed it!
Guess there's a library missing somewhere.
Thanks for the fix!

Cured my freezing. I also ran a dxweb end user microsoft dx installer to try squeeze in some old directx 9 missing dll's or whatever.. all works fine now. Have heard just installing winamp worked

MrC, once more thank you. Listening to music now, in front of big TV, Milkdrop2 rules!
Hope you'll want to develop it further (settings, etc.).

Sorry for the obviously dumb question but where are you putting thus to get it to work? I've tried putting it in the addons folder but still only get milkdrop 1 in visualisations. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks
Many thanks

Same here, tried with both Gotham and Helix release, selected milkdrop2 and display was held, music continued OOPs... read some of the internal HTML and installed WinAmp just in case I was missing something from that install... and lo & behold I was, the plug-in works now!
Many Thanks the new visualization is appreciated. With 500+ presets, I've been screen grabbing all afternoon

You need to select MilkDrop 2 as the default Visualiser in the music settings screen.
I also placed mine in the "userdata" addon folder, NOT the Kodi install folder - Addons folder.

Throw it into C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons not the userdata folder.

i saw the visualization.milkdrop folder in the addon_data folder and assumed milkdop2 had to be in same folder.
switched to the addon folder and milkdrop2 can now be selected.
that said, i experience the same issues as those listed by others. kodi gui becomes unresponsive while music is still playing
must ctrl+alt+del to bring up task manager and exit

Did you install a complete WinAmp and change your setting in the system>music>playback?

The addon_data folder is where addons store their settings. This way if you uninstall then re-install an addon you won't need to set it up from scratch. It will reuse the settings you defined from the the last time you installed/configured/ran that addon.

much thanks for all your help PatK.
if there's no other fix than installing winamp to get mikdrops2 working in kodi, than i don't see myself doing that.
i'm not that desperate to see new milkdrops visualizations. i'm sure a temp fix will be figured out.
cheers to all the devs working on this fantastic visualization.
