MilkDrop2 Visualization Install Pack
sKiZo:
To quote a wise man ...
Error compiling Ps_2_0 warp shader... Your hardware sux! ;D
Went through all the steps in the readme (with good succcess messages along the way), and this is what I ended up with when trying to start Milkdrop2 in MC19 ...
Drat ... shut down MC, rebooted cold, same thing. I did verify that the regedit took (Looks good to me anyway):
... and I should be good on .NET 4 Runtime ...
Double drat!
Ideas? I'll run through it all again later, but wondering if someone else has seen the same? Running Windows 8 Pro on this machine. Also, doesn't matter if I run it in Admin or a user account.
PS ... I also changed permissions on the .INI files in the main Milkdrop2 directory, but that shouldn't be an issue until I start trying to save settings ... which might be a while ...
William-NM:
Darn it!
I can verify that the registry entries look identical to mine.
What about DirectX? Did you DL the "dxwebsetup.exe" file from the Microsoft link & run it?
When you look at the top MilkDrop2 directory (*"C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 21\Visualizations\Milkdrop2" (in my case), do you have 3 files (milk2.ini, milk2_adapters,txt, & vis_milk2.dll, plus another MilkDrop2 folder.
In the 2nd MilkDrop2 folder, there should just be 4 folders: data, docs, presets, & textures.
That's a new error message to me. Has anyone successfully installed the package on their machines? It would be good to hear that nothing is 'broken' in it.
I'll do some poking around on my end, and maybe you can give it one more run through?
Let's hope one of the brainiacs on the forums has a suggestion!!

That's sorta why I posted up that reg dump so you could look see. Worth a shot anyway.

Yup. Full install using your link. One point worth mentioning ... the progress bars are worth a shite on that installation. They both hit 100% about halfway through. Note to the wise ... be patient!

Yup. Went through the directory structure completely and it matches what's in the README. Vis_milk2.dll was successfully registered, and both milk2.ini and milk2_adapters.txt have had their read/write privileges modified as per your suggestion. Once again, that shouldn't be an issue until I actually get it running and try to save preferences.

Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup.

Keeping my fingers crossed here. I had Milkdrops installed on a prior player at one point and really loved it. You mentioned earlier looking for a way to trash presets you don't like - you can set Milkdrop to show the preset name (upper left corner I believe) and note the ones you don't like, then just delete those from the preset folder, or move them to another folder outside of where Milkdrop looks.
Plan is to give it another go (reset to a prior RESTORE point probably the best way as that should make it like a pre MD virgin) but hoping it's something easy, like "Oh, just click this and yer good ta go!!" ...
PS ... new error? Just don't name it after me!! <G>
EDIT > > Wondering if I need a newer version of .NET installed? Check yours and see wotcher got. Maybe I got that cornfused with something else and I don't even need that.
** SPEAKING OF great heaping steaming piles of drat ...
Just notice NONE of my visualizations were working! Got the same error message even with the built in vis selections, and ditto for Aeon, GForce, etc ...
- Tried RESTORING the system to the point created by the DFX installation - same thing. That happened after the Milkdrop was installed on the system, so it's not a DFX issue.
- Restored to the last point saved prior to trying this. Basically undid everything Milkdrop related and made it like it was. Everything's working again ... except of course Milkdrop ...
I'll give it another go maybe tomorrow, checking things out after each step, and at least try to figure out what's breaking the other visualizations.
- Huh ...
Elric:
Thank you for this William-NM.
There are some extra steps for windows 10 users.
You need to right click individually on milk2.ini, viz_milk2.dll and then everything in the data dir, and select properties and check unblock and then ok/apply.
I learned this by trial and error.
If one doesn't do this MMC crashes fairly quickly every time milkdrop2 is used.

He steps up to the plate, taps the inside corner, then the outside corner, awaits the pitch ...
And yet another mighty whiff!!
Restored to a point prior to the Milkdrop2 install (which fixed all the other visualizations as well) and tried again from scratch. This time, I also installed the C++ runtime library, as that's what was giving me error messages and breaking everything. No luck.
Restored to the same point, and retired my bat ... I suppose I could try uninstalling all the SoundSpectrum visualizations and see if it's a conflict with those, but those are tempermental enough on their own without tempting the fates.
Fun for a rainy day though. For a while ... then not so much. :-\
PS ... I also caught the note in the install of trying the "hive" registry hack and tried that ... to no avail.
