Michael: from what I’ve been able to ferret out, it’s always been like this MS approaches outside designers, but they usually want WAY too much money. I’d be interested in any more results you get out of this, and if you’d like to help with version 2, I’ve just got the prototype working and have put out the call for help. You will most likely have to do this from a command prompt with admin privileges, and you may need to do it in the same dir as the d3dx_xx.dll files. If you want to manually install/uninstall these dlls, they just have to be regsvr’d – so, from a command prompt in the same dir as the dlls: We will probably not find out, since we’re just going to make version 2 and test that on things while developing, and try to make it work everywhere.

We don’t know what exactly is broken with media centre. The names don’t match up exactly, for silly technical reasons. You’ll get better perf out of them if you turn off transparency effects in the Vista desktop, they have to fight with it.Įach vis is contained within it’s dll, other than the directx dependencies. I’m pleased to say that so far (my favourite) upCuber works fine.

saved off the registry entry for upcuber + the clsid associated.Īfter uninstalling the pack and then adding back the files and reg values. So i took copies of the upCuber dll, the 4 dlls i think you use as helpers? (dont have depends.exe at home.) and. I replaced ALL your VIS DLLs with copies of a “known good” one that is fine without this pack installed.

the goal to get them installed manually (otherwise your install reinstalls everything.).įirst i tried another test. And knowing i’d being looking at album art 3d and upcuber a lot today I wondered if the issue was with another vis dll. The programmer in me hoped that this was some kind of error you could pin down. However now for some reason they wont work with MCE at all. Like the others above I also have an NVidia card. and have run into the problems using it with MCE on my nice new Vista home premium laptop. somewhere… I found ‘something’ that i’m sure will help solve the issues with this pack. I believe there is a simpler solution to your problem.

It’s a reasonably light download at 5MB but best of all it’s free!

If you’re looking for some awesome WMP visualizers or something to match your Vista screensavers, then give Psychedelia a try. I’ve never been a big fan of visualizers before but I’m hooked onto “Ribbons”. up cuber – a pigment arrangement of 3D hexagon cubes.

Gigertron 3D – 3D layered visualizer bars.

Ribbons – inspired by the Mystify and Ribbons Vista screensavers (as seen above).

Hypnobloom – hypnotic checkered purple rings.

Distortion – distorts the album art in a 3D waveform.

Bubbles – inspired by the Bubbles Vista screensavers also featuring the album art.

Album Art 3D – 3D cubes with the album art of the song you’re currently playing.

Included in the single package are 7 visualizations with over 40 variations in total, including But don’t worry, no LSD drugs involved.Īs a requirement to run these visualizations, you will need a graphics card that supports at least shader model 2.0 (most DirectX 9 graphics cards will), which might seem like a high requirement for visualizers, but how else are you suppose to create visual magic right?

Stephen Coy, the designer of the Windows Vista screensavers and Tim Cowley, a software engineer on the Office team have come together to release a visualizations pack for Windows Media Player called “ Psychedelia” two years in the making. Recently, a new visualization pack made by two Microsoft employees in their spare time is worth checking out. Sure, what comes in the box are still visualizations by definition, but I couldn’t consider any of them eye-candy. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it’s been at least two Windows releases since any new or updated Windows Media Player visualizations.
