LibVLC Visualization

[micfort]

hey,

I have been building an application where i use LibVLC as audio player and i wanted to include visualizations as an option in my application.
But beside command line options, I can't find any function to activate the visualization.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

with kind regards,

Michiel

I used something like this when creating the media (audio) object:
libvlc_media_t *vlcMedia = libvlc_media_new_path(vlcInstance, audioPath);
libvlc_media_add_option(vlcMedia, "audio-visual=visual");
libvlc_media_add_option(vlcMedia, "effect-list=scope");

Hope you find that useful.

hey,

I have tried those options and it won't work. (it doesn't work either as VLCInstance parameter or as media option).
I have also tried "--audio-visual=goom" as media option and that also doesn't work. That does work as VLCInstance parameter, but I have a video as well Audio files that i want to play, and for video it isn't necessary to visualize the audio. So is there a possibility to set the visualization option per media object?

libVLC audio visuals haven't been 'available' from anything 2.x or later. Visuals are available in 1.x though.

hey,

If it's not available in libvlc 2,x, how does VLC 2.x visualize the audio?

I didn't know about this (because I've stopped using visualizations). However, I am unable to set the visualization per media, only in the instance parameters.
