Display/Visualisations Question
« on: September 18, 2011, 07:02:25 am »
Hi, recently been trialing Media Center 16 for playing back HQ Audio via my M-Audio Audiophile 192 Sound card and onto Audiolab DAC/Pre&Power Amps, I am very happy with the sound quality and can finally begin to backup my extensive CD collection (after many years of searching for a solution to this) however...
I am the owner of a 50" Plasma so I am always weary of burning my screen, I use media center exclusively in Theater View and have tried all the various visualisations but sadly none are too my taste, is it possible to use 3rd party visualisations such as the Psychedelia Visualization Pack developed by Stephen Coy Tim Cowley?
Alternatively is it possible to fade all track information from the screen and show only the Fan Art backdrops?

any help in getting a suitable solution is VERY much appreciated.

Welcome to Interact.

One option is to allow the screensaver in Theater View (Options > Theater View).

You could also look at G-Force.  They make some nice visualizations that work with Media Center.

A mode to fade everything in Playing Now for plasma users might be a nice feature in the future.

GForce is really pretty good. You can ge a trial of it, and plugin works very well with JRiver...

Thanks for mentioning gForce. I wasn't even looking for a new visualisation software, but it's pretty compelling!

My thanks to all for your replies, I will check out the G-Force visualisations.
Matt, I would really appreciate it if that feature could be implemented at some point

SoundSpectrum Aeon was perfect and almost identical to the look of the Psychedelia Visualization Pack that I was after, thanks guys !
