The VideoLAN Forums

So, I was looking to add some additional visualizations and found some tutuorials on how to use the presets from ProjectM. When I try to start VLC, with audio visualizations set to "libprojectM effect", VLC crashes during startup with "Oooops: VLC media player just crashed".

Things I have done and tried:

[*] Set output module to "DirectX"
[*] Set audio visualization to "libprojectM effect"
[*] Downloaded the most recent projectM-complete-2.1.0-Source.tar.gz (31.1 MB)
[*] Created "C:\Program Files\VLC\visualizations" and placed (*.milk) files in that directory
[*] Configured the projectM preset path to "C:\Program Files\VLC\visualizations"
[*] Made sure to save options and restart VLC
[*] Tried running VLC as administrator and non-administrator

When I start VLC it just crashes. Any suggestions for next steps for me to try?

Sincerely,
Mike

Hey,
I can't get the VLC player to include projectM when selecting audio then visualizations.
I have the path set as C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\Visualizations with the .milk files in the folder but when i click browse to select the folder no files show up .. the files are there when i look at them through file explorer but vlc player wont recognize that they are there... any help

Sincerely,

dear team/community:
i wish you will add a offical-expreimentel version of projectM!
Milkdrope is one of the powerfull visuals!
vlc are the populärste free-player! It will be made vlc so great.
i hope you will think about it.
