Party Animal: GStreamer music visualisation!
 

The power of Maemo - now as a party animal!

Another hidden gem discovered: Thanks to the inbuilt GStreamer multimedia framework, I was able to get music visualisation on my N900 :D This also works using TV-Out, so once built into a suitable media player, I guess the N900 can become the center of any party :cool:

I also uploaded a short video on YouTube (read the disclaimer about flickering TV - it's my cam, not the N900...)

Here is the pipeline I used:
I hope for the inbuilt media player, Media Box, Canola or Vagalume to soon feature great visualisations on the N900 ...

There is already such a plugin for MediaBox buried somewhere deep in my drawer. Time to get it cleaned up and integrated into MediaBox. :)

Nice, i'll loving that "phone".
Is it possible to use all visualizations which are available for the normal gstreamer, or does it only work with this one? Of course the is a limitation of Hardware

Sorry for the late reply, but missed your post. But good news: I've played around a bit more, and the two other things that I found are "monoscope" and "spectrum". Hadn't much success with Spectrum, but Monoscope works well!

(sorry for the image quality, but it's not possible to take on-device screenshots in this mode)

Coolest thing is to attach Monoscope directly to the Microphone to get real-time voice/microphone waveform analysis:
Try whistling at higher frequencies and watch the wavelength shrink...
Anybody to hook up a signal through the mic line-in?

The power of Maemo :D

@twaelti, awesome idea about the signal input. Wonder if this would work http://xoscope.sourceforge.net/

Same command line on my pc and on my phone is "the new era" ...

Re: Party Animal: GStreamer visualisation!
 

Are these easter eggs in the phone or are you downloading something from somewhere? The way I understand it, I can now have visualisation with all my music files is that correct?

Re: Party Animal: GStreamer visualisation!
 

As root:
then run the command he posted in the first post.

Someone should port Libvisual to Maemo :)
