Im little bit confused... i dont know why there is no VU meter plugin installed in VLC... Can u please help me in building a VU meter as soon as possible... Im in need of it. plz

So you would want that someone makes you a VU meter plugin?

In audio/visualization/vumeter

ya .... Its a audio visualisation meter and need it as a plugin for vlc... Can u make it..!!!

What do you call a "plugin" ?

i have to make it integrated with the vlc player..... so i call so.... or any coding regarding vlc vu meter

There is already a VU meter in VLC.

Where..? Please guide me.... in which version too...

At least 0.9.8a and 1.0.0 have the vumeter. There isn't any GUI option for it. It is part of Vizualizer plugin. So to enable it, insert text vuMeter to Effects list.

there is vu meter in it... but its an analog one i dont wnat any visualisation type of GUI... i need a seperate one as in the case of Gold wave or some stuff... and it has to be digital type of one, with level and feedback indication.... whether there is any way for making it..........

Some body give suggestion to this stuff..............

I think vumeter has the level already so one would just need to print as number instead of drawing it as angled line.

Or something like that to avoid the boring fake LED's that we can see everywhere:

I need a digital one can we integrate......

nooo pls integrate a BAR VU METER LEFT AND RIGHT IN OVERLAY plssssssssssssss

I agree with coobox. I'd like a bar meter include-able in the video window - perhaps even with silence detect.

Si.

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anyone has made a start developing an audio VU-Meter overlay plugin? If so, I'm keen to join the effort, otherwise I may start.

I've had a quick look at the code in modules/video_filter & modules/audio_filter and these look like a good place to start. Is it possible for a filter module to extend the size of the video frame? Or is straight overlay the only option?

What features would be useful?

- Position/orientation
- Size
- Colours (including different segments)
- Peak/over hold
- Ballistics/response rate
- Others?

Will building this module mean it's possible to use it from one of the Web-Browser plugins? For example, is it possible to overlay a logo in the Moz plugin right now? Is this an <embed> parameter?

Cheers,

ChrisB

See modules/visualization/visual/ for the current Vu meter. This is an audio filter that creates a vout. In order to overlay this, you would need it to render a frame as a sub-filter, like the logo.c filter in modules/video_filter/.

So far, we have no audio filter that does sub-filter behaviour, so beyond this, it's uncharted territory. I'm not even sure if it is possible atm.

In this post we tried something that might be interesting for you :

Has anything been done with this? There are some audio bars available as an overlay, but they dont work. I am using version 2.1.4

Not much.
