hi there , is xmms2's visualization still work?

[cuu]

my system is ubunut 16.04

just download the stable code and compiled the vistest
like libvisual.c vistest.c

but none of them works, nothing out when I ran them

xmms2 works on my system

so I wonder the code of vistest still working?

It works for me, but I've lost track of the version I'm running.

Enabling it is a bit tricky, so I'd like to check that first:

• Do you have the visualization plugin?
• Have you added it to the effect chain?
• Has a song started since enabling (since the transformation chain only gets rebuilt when a song starts)? Try stop then play to trigger this.

$ xmms2 server plugin | grep vis
visualization   - visualization hook
$ xmms2 server config effect.order.0 visualization
$ xmms2 stop
$ xmms2 play
$ vistest

@nesciens
yeah, tricky
well after everything I done followed your instruction.
still nothing happend , I believe the code has problems now

int ret = xmmsc_visualization_chunk_get (connection, vis, data, 3, 1000);

I printf out the ret
always get 0
so it is not working as we expected

anyway
what is your xmms2 version?
what is the effect chain? how to check if I added or not?
I use xmms2 to add a song, playing is well
I tried in stable and devel branch

I fixed a few libvisual things in 0.9.2, like ipv6 and semtomedop() detection (a few notes on https://trofi.github.io/posts/279-xmms2-0.9.2-is-out.html). Chances are you might be able to run it now.
