VLC + projectM visualisations = segfault

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I' m using VLC 2.01 as per the vlc-2.0.1-1.fc17.i686 RPM

I quickly found that the default audio ' visualization ' plugins included with VLC 2.x suck so badly that it'd be better if they included no visualizations AT ALL.

So off I went to google for better alternatives, and quickly found about ProjectM
http://projectm.sourceforge.net/

which aptly describes itself as " an awesome music visualizer. There is nothing better in the world of Unix. projectM's greatness comes from the hard work of the community. Users like you can create presets that connect music with incredible visuals"

And I was pleased to see that projectM is available on Fedora repos:

# yum install *projectM*

That' s when the fun stopped.

Launching vlc showed under audio->Visualizations a new entry "projectM" so I selected it after loading my favorite .flac file.

The result:

///
No Textures Loaded from /usr/share/projectM/textures
Segmentation fault
///

Can someone else please confirm that this segfaults?
