a small equalizer in python.

[thor918]

i think spectrum analyzer is perhaps a more correct word for what i'm talking about.

just wondering.
would it be possible in codechange in xbmc, to add a python event
(
example on a python event:

example on a python event:
http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....t=20234 (http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.pl?act=st;f=21;t=20234)
)
like this:
the event will be named "onspectrumanalyzer", and return 12 bar values.
so that one could use the values to present something like in the image below:

(i don't think the refreshing rate has to be that great either, to make it look ok)

if this is something that would require too much cpu time, i would be happy with just one bar or two bars that would indicate music activity.

i understand that this is perhaps not the right period to ask for features. i can bump the thread after feature freeze is over.

that is a good idea... i have suggested somewhere that it would be great if the lcd could display a gfx equalizer too...

i am all for it....

lcd updates to slow

[thor918]

me personaly don't have any use for a lcd spectrum analyzer, and the refresh rate is as digidave said, too slow.

but if a minimal low refresh sampling spectrum analyzer where availeble in python, i would put it to good use in a script.
not sure if any developer would slave to implant it though :evil:

it is possible since thats how visualisation's work but like you said lot of work to expose it
