Yesterday I made a visualization. If you want to download, you have to install the next font in your system:

Lisa you can change it manually in the Visualisation Studio.
Right click on the visualisation, and Visualisation Studio is available
from the menu.

Find the appropriate text field,
and change it to Track PN_POSITION of PN_TRACKS

Can you tell me the steps you done?

Post by: lOth on May 17, 2006, 01:21:13 pm
I copied the .ttf file to windows\fonts\ then copied the .mjv to Media Center 11\Visualizations\Vis Studio\Collage, launched MC, selected the viz and got the wrong font on there.

If you open another program you can select that font? Try closing and opening MC

Nope. Just tried in Word, the font wasn't there.

Doesn't change a thing.

have you rename the font? or can you see "MODRN.TTF" in your font directory?

I can see it. Not renamed.

edit: don't worry about it, I fixed it. I'm not sure what was wrong with the font but I couldn't erase it when I tried to reinstall it. I restarted windows, deleted the font, and reinstalled it through the fonts utility in the control panel. Works great now. Thanks for your help.

Ok, you can use another font in your system for that visualization. Right click over the visualization and select "Visualization Studio". In text you can see "FontName". Select the font you like.

In the next web there are some beautiful font to downloads ;-)

Just wanted to thank you for this viz. The blue version matches almost perfectly the Meedio theme I use MC with:

What is Meedio Theme and where can I download it?
Title: Re: Blackstars Visualization
Post by: lOth on May 22, 2006, 04:33:03 am
Meedio is an HTPC front-end that can use MC (thanks to a plug-in) as its music, but also video and pictures player.

Actually, Meedio does no longer exist as it sold out to Yahoo! just a few weeks ago and is now revamped into their new Yahoo! Go TV program. Users are still waiting to see what's going to come out of that change in terms of the program's architecture.

A few links:

Meedio:

HDeeTV, the Meedio skin I got my screenshot from:
http://www.meedio.com/maid/detail.php?mode=detail&plugin_id={669DA236-C83D-4BDB-B849-9068FD178F31}

The two plug-ins (importer and player) to use MC within Meedio:

Yahoo! Go TV (hopefully, the MC plug-ins will still work with it):

Thanks ferent :).  This is a terrific visualization for MC.  Has all of the basics I want, and in big fonts too.  Great job!
