Disable Music visualiser #456

Open FabianMeul opened 11 years ago

FabianMeul commented 11 years ago

Hi,

this is kind of a personal feature request:

Is it possible to disable the video output of the Boxee while playing audio? I don't really have a need for the visualiser, and if the video output is disabled, my TV will go in sleep mode. (See what I'm getting at here? :) )

Same thing for me, tried deleting all the files in /opt/boxee/visualisations/projectM but that broke the music player. Leaving only one, Geiss - Waterfall.milk also didn't work.

The original and some of the others are just to distracting... So I renamed Geiss - Waterfall.milk to Geiss - Tube.milk and deleted the rest. I opened ProjectM.vis and saw the string Geiss - Tube.milk so it seems to be hardcoded.

Must be possible to make your own .vis file and rename ProjectM.vis in /data/.boxee/UserData/guisettings.xml Maybe you can use that to disable Video output?
