Hello all,

I spent this weekend frustratingly trying to get some milkdrop 2 presets to work with XBMC. I tried to get them to work in ProjectM and they would not run. I am running XBMC on Ubuntu so OpenGL should not be a problem but I could not get them to work.

Somethings I found out....

  1. ProjectM is version 1 in XBMC while there is a version 2 available, is there a way to get ProjectM 2 working in XBMC?

  2. XMBC has guides on how to write Vortex presets but nothing on how to install Vortex, What is the thing called Vortex and where can I get it?

  3. If I need to write my own addon for ProjectM 2 in order get it to work, I will happily give it a go and share it back with the community but I could not find any guides specifically about writing visualization addons. When I look at the visualization.projectm folder, the addon.xml points to something called projectm.viz . Is there maybe a way to compile ProjectM 2 into a viz file and get it to work that way?

  4. Is there anything else I should be trying to get these milkdrop 2 presets to work?

Kodi is a free and open source media player application developed by the XBMC Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium. Kodi is available for multiple operating-systems and hardware platforms, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. Video is somewhat cropped by the camera, but you can get the idea. ProjectM is awesome! Music: Toxic - Rising Waves.

The addon files will be placed in ../../xbmc/kodi-build/addons so if you build Kodi from source and run it directlythe addon will be available as a system addon.
