Any idea what has happened to potatoriffic? Its appears to have gone....Is there a mirror I can use to download vis_bacon?

I've got the site on a free and somewhat unreliable host, so stuff like that happens from time to time. It seems to be working again at the moment.

When create foo_uie_bacon ? :-/

re, Deer

if you read back a page you will see that there will not be a uie version as some (read most) winamp vis's create the window themselves

"(AVS) Works okay, but it's only available with Winamp." (from potatoriffic site)
I will remove winamp from my system, but I will keep AVS with foo_beacon.
It's possible?

Just FYI, I wrote a Winamp visualization emulator about 5 years ago.. An old version can still be downloaded at:

chronware.virtualave.net/shizsetup.exe

This captures the audio playing from _any_ Media player.. or a microsophone, or line-in, etc... so nothing else required. I'm in the process of updating this program now..(lame trial period will be deactivated, among lots of new stuff)

Sorry I somehow missed your post earlier. To keep AVS on your system after uninstalling Winamp, it appears you have to copy the AVS DLL and all of the stuff associated with it to a different folder before removing Winamp, since Winamp's uninstall program will delete AVS if you let it. I don't have a list of all of the associated files and stuff right now because I just ran the uninstaller.

foo_vis_bacon has experienced some movage and now resides here. I've had 52 MB of space on a university server for the last year and a half and didn't know about it until a week ago. This should be more reliable than hosting on f2g...

Wow, nice plugin as milkdrop was just the thing i wanted in visualisation world. but i have 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to get rid of the caption of the visualisation windows? That would be very cool.

2. Is it possible to get the visualisation window to be opened in foobar? Like in the sidebar for example?

With most plugins, the second one is a no, as has been discussed earlier in this thread. The first one might be a little more doable, but I can't say because it isn't something I've tried yet.

does this pluggin actually work. if yes, how do I use it?

Thanks

It works varyingly well depending on which Winamp plugin you want to use. www.msu.edu/~singergr/bacon.html has about all the setup info you'd need, complete with bandwidth-munching PNG screenshots (mmm... bandwidth...).

Ack, I just remembered. The, "No delay," mode for flush handling is broken in foo_vis_bacon minus 0.19 and minus 0.2. I've actually fixed the bug (someone sent me an e-mail saying foo_vis_bacon crashed when they closed foobar and that's how I noticed the bug), but I never did get a formal release set up at the time (their crash log didn't have symbol info and fixing the no delay bug didn't solve their problem) and, well, I've been distracting myself for the past few days poking around with stuff in Linux and hence haven't done it since. If I don't have a fixed build up by tomorrow, kick me.

EDIT: foo_vis_bacon minus0.18 uploaded with close issues fixed. That should be it for issues other than those documented in the plugin list.

Nice plugin, works great with milkdrop. Would have been good to have as a uie, but its still cool.

Thanks for this plug in.

Please consider updating the first post in this thread for people's first visit.

hehe this pwnz !!! thnx

any way to "attach" it ...like a panel ?

This has been discussed before. It probably isn't going to be implemented because the only plugins with which it would be known to work cleanly would be Milkdrop and AVS. Everything else would have problems doing that, especially if fullscreen stuff gets involved.

how about a separate one then...with only milk and avs for panels

foo_milkavs_panels.dll

would (if possible) pwnz even more !!

u guys r0x

There would be no reason to emulate the Winamp API for Milkdrop if a Fb2k developer would be willing to do a native foo_vis_milkdrop.

Winamp 5.12 updated milkdrop version to 1.04c; still working, but can't be configured via foo_vis_bacon (crash foobar). Same issue with Nullsoft Tiny Fulscreen v.2.06.

Confirmed. No idea why and I'm not sure if I remember how all of my code works now. :|

EDIT: Meh, found the bug and can give it a really quick workaround. Trying to figure out another bug I don't remember seeing at the beginning of the year where Milkdrop gives the focus back to the desktop if you put it in fullscreen mode.

Lazy workaround for crashes in new Milkdrop version posted. Other bug that I just talked about only appears to happen in the debugger, so I'm ignoring it.

I'm using foobar 0.8.3 with baconwrap minus0.189 and MilkDrop 1.04 (downloaded from the Milkdrop site - I don't have Winamp installed).

I'm guessing MilkDrop is one of the plugins that "Always on top" doesn't work for. Or is there a workaround?

It does not appear to work with the old 1.04 version from the Milkdrop site if the, "Integrate with Winamp," option is disabled. Unfortunately, to work around a crash with the new 1.04c Milkdrop version, I made this option unavailable with foo_vis_bacon minus0.179. If you're sure you're never going to use Milkdrop 1.04c, just use foo_vis_bacon minus0.18 (now available on the foo_vis_bacon site again).

I guess I'll have to find a real solution to that crash...

It worked. Thanks.

AWESOME plugin

is there a tip to run under foobar2000 ACIDPUNKD?

Are you referring to the Acidspunk visualization? To get that to work, you rename acidspunk2.dll to vis_acidspunk2.dll so that foo_vis_bacon will recognize it as a visualization plugin. If Acidpunkd is something entirely different from Acidspunk, then I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with it and I probably can't help you.

GREAT!
Thanks
it works!

sorry mates
but Winamp-VIS-plugs is foo_vis_bacon ?
are they the same plug or are they 2 different plug

foo_vis_bacon is name of the plugin, Winamp-VIS-plugs is just the name of this thread (it all started before foo_vis_bacon was available).

Now with milkdrop 1.04d (winamp 5.2) foobar crash if activate foo_vis_bacon. And no, is not working with v-0.18 either.

Wow, that's crappy.

EDIT 1: Found the crash; will release a new version as soon as I fix song title display, which I broke while doing some other things. May take a while since I probably ought not to be distracting myself from school at the moment...

EDIT 2: For an example of why I should not be distracting myself any more than necessary, edit 1 referred to the release of a "new button."

Any updates coming to this very soon?

Any updates coming to foo 0.9?

an update would be schweet (and a reason to finally update to f2k 0.9.x for me)

So you guys now that MilkDrop and AVS is open source now?

Anyone can now download the source code and port it.
I think you could just make a DSP plugin since then you get at the audio data and can FFT transform it (Milkdrop uses it's own FFT routines instead of the integrated Winamp one) so what you need is PCM waveform data.

MilkDrop source code:
http://www.nullsoft.com/free/milkdrop/

AVS source code:
http://www.nullsoft.com/free/avs/

So this no longer works on 0.9x? Is there any decent vis I can get for 0.9x? :-(

AVS would ROCK. It's like the Foobar of the Vis world :-P

As far as I can tell the only decent vis plugin for foobar is ProjectM. This is an OpenGL implementation of Milkdrop. The plugin will use existing .milk files from winamp or anywhere else, it's a little buggy and leaks memory but there is currently a rewrite in progress to resolve this. You can visit this site to download additional effects including this guide on creating your own presets (.milk files can be edited with any standard text editor).

Thank you for the information, Yotsuya. I miss my bacon.

AVS Port pleeeeeease!

I wrote a message to the devellopers of foo_vis_bacon if it is possible to update the plugin for 0.9 but I got no answer yet

same for me.. and that was a while ago

I suppose it would be a bit much to expect this to be updated sometime in the next few years? There was a time when this was one of my favorite plugins and it worked really well.

Oh man, old good vis_bacon... I miss it too :'(
I remember having tens of interesting components I never really needed in my 0.8 installation, and Bacon always was the special one of them.
Too bad we will probably never see an updated version :((

Did you notice the author, hartwork, has been banned out of the HA forums? I heard it's because They don't want any nice visuals in Foobar!! It's a shame that the best developers are always alienated here instead of invited to participate! It makes me cry and convert to Amarok :\

Then again what's so different compared to your plugin making you wish for an update?



I don't believe that story holds much truth judging from the content of his ol' homepage.
Both plugins are just "innocent" wrappers, no visual plugins. But who am I trying to explain this to you, right?



Hold on for a sec, are you saying we've just lost you? Ahh come on, that was just theoretical, wasn't it?

@Supacon - Have a look at Yirkha's excellent plugin foo_vis_shpeck which works flawlessly with the current version of foobar.
