Audio Visualizations

[stynky]

I have been trying to get visualizations to launch automaticly when I play an audio play list.

I have tried the following commands at the top of the list.

vlc --audio-visual="goom"

--audio-visual="goom"

vlc --audio-filter="goom"

I have tried with without quotes, I tried scope and and spectrum too.

Any ideas? Is this possible? I did not see anything in the preferences eithier.

Thanks

I did find it this afternoon in the Preferences, Audio, Visualizations. I had to take it off the default. I am not sure how I missed that. I was probably thinking it was more complicated and missed it.

I apologize for the post.

by the way..

another example for the commandline:

Code: Select all

vlc --audio-visual visualizer --effect-list scope

[zcot]

and:

Code: Select all

vlc --audio-visual visualizer --effect-list spectrum

Well I tried adding this command to the playlist and no joy. I am using windows XP and tried using quotes like I read somewhere in the docs as in the following;

vlc --audio-visual="visualizer" --effect-list="spectrum"

Below is what my play list currently looks like.

#EXTM3U
vlc --audio-visual visualizer --effect-list spectrum
C:\AUDIO\A1\Track 1.wav
C:\AUDIO\A1\Track 2.wav
C:\AUDIO\A1\Track 3.wav
vlc:quit

If I set it in the preferences, then when movies play, I get the audio effect displayed when I should see the movie! That is why I want to put the command in the play list if possible.

HMMM....

Thanks,

#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT:audio-visual=visualizer
#EXTVLCOPT:effect-list=spectrum
C:\AUDIO\A1\Track 1.wav
#EXTVLCOPT:audio-visual=visualizer
#EXTVLCOPT:effect-list=spectrum
C:\AUDIO\A1\Track 2.wav
#EXTVLCOPT:audio-visual=visualizer
#EXTVLCOPT:effect-list=spectrum
C:\AUDIO\A1\Track 3.wav
vlc:quit

I have been on the road and not been on this for a few weeks, so I apologize for the delay.

I modified as above and still not there. I have tried several variations of the command structure.

#EXTVLCOPT:
EXTVLCOPT:
VLCOPT:

I also tried putting " " around visualizatin and spectrum, since I am using a windows machine, in all the combimations and still won't launch.

below is what I have

#EXTM3U
#EXTVLCOPT:audio-visual="visualizer"
#EXTVLCOPT:effect-list="spectrum"
C:\AUDIO\A1\Boston - 04 - Track 4.wav
vlc:quit

Thanks,

I looked at the running log and found this, but I am not sure what it all means, except for the fact that it can't find the modules it needs. Where would they be, and how do you correct this?

main error: no suitable access module for `C:\AUDIO\A1\EXTM3U'
main error: no suitable access module for `EXTVLCOPT:audio-filter=visualizer'
main error: no suitable access module for `EXTVLCOPT:effect-list=spectrum'

Does this provide a glue as to what might be happening?
