Nifty Volume Meter #1

Open WinEunuuchs2Unix opened 3 years ago

Just wanted to post a complement on how elegant your python solution is. I adapted it to tkinter GUI (configure rectangle height on canvas on frame on toplevel) with a slight modification to add volume decay to smooth sound drop off:

mserve vu meter2

Unfortunately .gif displayed in github doesn't faithfully reproduce at 30 frames per second like it does in real life.

Here's another attempt with ffmpeg passed to peek:

mserve vu meter3

Thank you very much, wow! I honestly was not expecting anyone to use this program which I wrote 5 years ago. I see you've put it to good use. Have you by any chance published your tkinter code somewhere?

WinEunuuchs2Unix commented 3 years ago

My music player is still too new to publish. it has a long list of features that need to be written and it lacks user configuration file for font names and sizes. When it is ready I will upload it to github though!

I just updated your program for left and right channels and after some tweaking I'll fork your code and update it:

mserve vu meter stereo

OK Finally had time to tweak volume meter display for more realistic LED display. Unfortunately .gif lags and doesn't reflect real-time display accurately:

ezgif com-optimize

Hopefully soon I'll have a beta version of mserve good enough to post in github.

Would be interested to see how you split to stereo. Have tried. Know it's interleaved data but keep hitting data type errors. Being a bit drunk on a Sat night probably isn't helping. But throw me a hint! *_*

@Fluffkin My head is a little fuzzy this AM too! I uploaded the full program: https://github.com/WinEunuuchs2Unix/mserve Probably best to post any new questions there. Thanks.
