Visualization Dev Pointers for Linux? - Colin - 2010-01-14
Hi,
I'm thinking of writing a new Visualizer for my XBMC machine.
Despite having compiled the SVN version I haven't really looked at any xbmc code. I'm hoping that the interface between visualizers and the rest of xbmc should be reasonably well defined.
I couldn't find anything of use in the wiki.
Is there anyone with experience of this? I'd like some pointers on where to start or some documentation, perhaps one of the simpler visualizers.
Thanks in advance,
Colin.

i would suggest you read
xbmc/Visualizations/WaveForm/Main.cpp - code is the best docu there is

Thanks, that was pretty much what I was looking for.
It looks like I have easy access to an OpenGL context, so I guess I just have to work out what to draw now.
