OK, I thought I'd have a go at playing with the vis settings, but I must be doing something dumb. I've tried editing the slim/player/squeezebox2.pm file, but it's not having any effect. Do I need to do anything other than restart the server after an edit? I'm guessing that there's a deployment step I'm missing somewhere (I'm new to slimserver development). BTW - running on XP.

If you're feeling particularly bold, you can modify the configuration parameters in the server source. The parameters for the right-side visualizer in the Now Playing modes are in Slim/Player/Squeezebox2.pm and those for the full-screen visualizers are in Plugins/Visualizer.pm. The configuration parameters (including position, orientation, bandwidth, etc.) are documented in the first file. The spectrum analyzer is implemented using a simple fixed-point FFT with a Hamming window applied to the signal. Since most real-world audio has considerably more power in the lower frequency bands, one of the configurable parameters is a preemphasis value applied to the frequency bins after the FFT (effectively a multiplier for the higher frequency bins) - the value is specified in dB/KHz. I've spent a little bit of time playing with the parameters to get something that looks reasonably good (and that's the eventual goal, right?). If anyone, ideally someone with a better aesthetic sense than I, is interested in experimenting and coming up with better parameters, or even a UI for users to configure their own parameters, I'd welcome the changes. --Vidur _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
