To pass it to mplayer as described in the manual

./electricsheep-saver-gnome --video-driver -vo

but how do I pass it to vlc?

scottdraves commented 7 years ago

sorry i don't understand this question.

@scottdraves How do I sync electricsheep to make it to a visualization for music played with VLC?

scottdraves commented 7 years ago

it's not a music visualization, it does not sync with anything (except maybe in your head :).

@scottdraves Anyway, it is possible to open electricsheep with mplayer

electricsheep --video-driver -vo

but how do I open it with vlc?

scottdraves commented 7 years ago

yes the old version used mplayer, but there is no option for vlc. you could edit the source and probably make it work, if vlc can read from stdin. this says that it can: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=12585

@scottdraves Ok. Thank you for the link.

@scottdraves I only get two different visual forms when I execute either of:

./electricsheep-saver ./electricsheep-saver-gnome

Will it always take up to several hours to generate more sheeps for each unique IP that connect?

scottdraves commented 7 years ago

it should take about 5 minutes to download and play the whole current flock, maybe 50 clips. give it some time and restart a few times, and check the contents of ~/.electricsheep.
