#JRIVER MEDIA CENTER VISUALIZATIONS NOT SHOWING UP TRIAL#

I have to believe that more than a few (thousand) trial users decided against buying MC if they activated those visualizations.

JRiver really should consider removing ALL of the combo track info/visualizations in the Collage folder - they are horrendous. However, some of the visualizations look so dated and with blurry text, it's embarrassing. None of these are going to knock your socks off, but they are integrated directly with MC, so I still use them occasionally because they are convenient. I don't use audiobooks with MC, so I'm not sure visualizations work with that. In order to see that context menu however, a track must be playing. I don't think the OP's original ask ever got answered.Īll you have to do is right-click in the large playing now window, and pick from a large number of built-in visualizations available in the context menu (see picture in link below). I mean that and the iPod and then streaming. I think that's part of the 'mystery' of why there isn't as much in the way of music visualizers anymore.

#JRIVER MEDIA CENTER VISUALIZATIONS NOT SHOWING UP SOFTWARE#

Would you rather write some software that like 100 guys are going to use to get some visuals while they listen to music or would you rather be snagging professional customers doing high budget productions? This is software that's designed to drive multiple projectors or display walls for shows, not so much a visualizer on your monitor at home.

It's just that the market isn't really there and if you're using Resolume or Synthesia, there's a good chance there's a higher bar for visual fidelity required. There's nothing major stopping someone from say, writing a music visualizer into a game rendering engine, which does come with visual compromises but would be far more performant. Even with fancy GPUs you need to be quite smart with something like Resolume or Synthesia in terms of how you're building visualizations to maintain the targeted frame rate / res. They just aren't optimized in the same manner as real time game rendering is either. The issue is GOOD real time visualizers are very performance heavy, like high end gaming heavy. Milkdrop2 / ProjectM (an open source re-implementation with active development) is something to look at.
