Hi,

i would love to see Music Visualization like with ambify on the iphone as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odzqRFhd2f8

best regards

This would be a great addition. But it's also a lot of work. Since I don't use XBMC for music playback myself this won't happen (at least not by me..)

@cees-elzinga I am considering putting some work into this to make hue work with visualisations. Have you tried implementing this at all or do you have an idea where to start? capture.getImage() doesn’t work for the visualisation?

@chritallic awesome you might look into it. I haven't tried implementing it myself at all. If I remember correctly capture.getImage() only works for video streams. It's why the add-on doesn't work on picture slideshows and/or music playback. For the slideshow I once hacked a script that doesn't rely on capturing images but uses the images themselves for calculating the colours. Obviously this won't work for music playback - not sure what the best way is to hook into the visualisation part of XBMC.
