Music visualization on 9.0.1 - RPi 3B?

Dito · April 17, 2019 at 2:59 PM

Hi all... newcomer around here.

I'm playing with a freshly-downloaded and installed LE 9.0.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3B. Even though they're listed and enabled, I can't seem to get any of the music visualizations (Shadertoy, Spectrum, or Waveform) to work. Is this a limitation of the Pi-based system? I think I might enjoy them - don't know yet!

I was bored with Plex and bored with Emby, so I thought I'd stick Kodi on a spare Pi, because even though I'm a Linux-using, command-line-first greybeard, I like my eye candy!

Thanks for the help. I'm gonna go poke around the filesystem while I await someone's wisdom..

Hello and Welcome.

I'm not aware of any issues with the visualisations, they should all work fine. (I don't use them TBH)

Have you set it up in Settings --> Player --> Music --> Visualisation ?

Sorry for the lengthy delay... been a hectic day.

Yes, I've tried choosing each one, and can't get any of them to display - although I'm not entirely sure where I should expect to see them.

Does having the lyrics display active counteract the visualization?

Hm, a reboot of the Pi and now all is good.

(As an old-time IT guy, I hate that the "have you tried turning off and back on again?" routine still solves so many problems...)
