Hi people,

this looks great, but I still have problem installing it I did copy two XML files in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\skin\Confluence\720p

And the "Media" files in the media folder, restarted XBMC, but nothing.

Then I have looked for the Confulence skin in my XBMC folder in Users / Roaming profiles directory, I thought maybe there is an user-specific copy of the skin there, but nothing - there was only the Transparency skin which I have installed manualy:

C:\Users\XXXXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\skin

OK, then I've got curious, and started the Process Monitor - and that's where I started wondering: the file "MusicVisualisation.xml" is not loaded at all by XBMC - not at the any point of time.

At one moment, a file "Milkdrop.conf" from the folder "C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\visualisations" got loaded, but not the "MusicVisualisation.xml"

As you can guess, I'm not beginner with computers, I actually earn my money with software development since 17 years now , so I did try some conventional and less conentional tricks (Process Monitor, even Fiddler).

Probably I am doing something really stupid, I just cannot figure it out...

My system:

Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit

1920x1080 display (full hd - maybe that is the problem - the files are in 720p folder ?!?!)

This is where I try to change the visualization - since I'm new with XBMC maybe it's a wrong place...?

Thank you all

Okay, let's run through the check list and make sure you have everything.

• Make sure you're running a recent build of XBMC (Camelot will be fine, but I run the SVNs)
• Make sure Confluance is installed. It is by default in all recent builds.
• In Windows7 x64, the skin will be in

c:\Program Files(x86)\XBMC\skins\Confluance

Extract the files there. You can install additional skins in the "//User/Apps/Roaming" folder, but the defaults will be under program files.
• Your resolution is not an issue, I run the same (1080). Confluance is made for 720 resolutions, but it's the same aspect ratio, so it scales up fine and most of the default fonts and images look fine upscaled (with a few exceptions in some plugins).
• Make sure you have your music scraped and in the library. Fanart is limited for some of the more obscure bands, so try adding at least one image manually to be sure it will display. Just download a band picture and name it "fanart.jpg" and put it in the album folder. XBMC will look there first. You may need to go to "album info" and refresh if you've already scraped your music.
• Verify you're in library mode. Select a song and play it. Once the song starts, push the TAB key to see the visualization screen.

I think your problem lies in that you're looking at the wrong folder, but I'd run through the check list just to be sure. Also worth noting, there are several versions of this mod posted here, and a wide array of differences between them. The latest I posted uses a different font structure and won't display properly unless you have Nuka's weather mod installed first. My previous version will work with the default, as will that of the original author and other contributors, so try that first.

Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate a default copy of the Font.xml file posted. I've loaded about a half dozen mods that edit it, so what I see isn't what everyone else sees, and I have no idea which backup holds the original anymore. I want to get my modifications cleaned up a bit and package them for easier install.
