8.90.006 & music visualizations

isamudaison · October 18, 2018 at 12:07 AM

I'm seeing the behavior where nearly all music visualizations are 'broken' with the alpha 8.90.006... however I'm not sure which area I should post in? It seems like it could be a problem with either the plug-ins & kodi beta3, just beta 3, or just libreelec?

But there is at least *one* (simple) viz that does work... ? (broken ones include projectM, shaderToy)

There are *known* issues with some visualizations. Most of the time updating resolves the issue. However, as these addons are not developed by LE, you should post any issues with the addon developer.

If you still have issues:

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

I get

Code

ERROR: CBinaryAddonManager::GetInstalledAddonInfo: Requested addon 'visualization.projectm' unknown as binary

But it just shows a black screen like the other visualisation plugins.

VSXU gives an error message

Code

ERROR: Unable to load /storage/.kodi/addons/visualization.vsxu/visualization.vsxu.so.1.1.0, reason: /storage/.kodi/addons/visualization.vsxu/visualization.vsxu.so.1.1.0: undefined symbol: jpeg_resync_to_restart

Oh never mind - I figured out what the problem was.

I updated LibreELEC to the latest development snapshot, but the plugins were not updated with it.

When I re-compile all the visualization plugins to match the version of the LE snapshot and manually install the freshly build zip

Code

PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 scripts/create_addon visualization.*

(plugins are in target/addons/9.0/Generic/x86_64)

Well VSXU is still broken, but ProjectM works.

Please explain how you got the repos to update. They will not update for me.

benpicco · November 8, 2018 at 10:15 PM

I did compile it manually, see Compile [LibreELEC.wiki]

basically

Code

sudo apt install gcc make git unzip wget xz-utils # install build dependencies
git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv.git
cd LibreELEC.tv
PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 scripts/create_addon visualization.*

I just installed LE 8.90.008 (Generic x86) and it seems that music visualizations still do not work

Is there a solution for this?

Same with .009

Issue is still there with LibreELEC (Leia) v8.95.1 BETA

deoau · December 25, 2018 at 9:21 PM

I've just clean installed Leia 8.95.1 Generic X86_64 on an Intel NUC, and projectM seems to work although some of the patterns render an almost all white static screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

Goom and Waveform I tried but neither work, hopefully now that LE has reached 'beta' the folks doing the visualizers will update.

One thing I have noticed is an occasional dropout of sound, perhaps 1/4 of a second during a song being played. Anyone else heard this?

I've played a few video's, no issues there. Music dropouts only occur if projectM is running, nothing showing in logs so far, but the CPU load is pretty high. May be best to leave visualizers alone for now until the developers update.

I am using Libreelec on RPI3, not X86_64

jcjdammers · December 26, 2018 at 4:07 PM

Visualizations like Waveform are still not playing on my system LE v8.95.1 BETA (Generic x86).

Does anybody know what the actual problem is? Is it Kodi, LE or the addon itself?

When does it get solved?

isamudaison · January 3, 2019 at 7:00 PM

Mine actually started working with the Beta (x64 generic)... the caveat is that prior to upgrading, I had already removed all the visualizations from my installation. I'm guessing upgrading to the beta simply installed the 'working' one.

isamudaison , is Waveform working for you?

jcjdammers · January 4, 2019 at 1:36 PM

I first removed Waveform and then reinstalled it from the LE repo, but it still does NOT work
