Using DirectSound and a combination of FFT forumlas/aglorithms you can make your own Visualization system. That is what I had to do with MMC. We are supporting third part as well as our own system. You then just export that FFT data to the developers of the Visuals. I agree with Frodo though, that there is a lot of nice objects that support this already. I just did it so I could learn about DirectSound and sound programming related stuff like FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)

Take care

Maybe I'm missing something obvious... if so, please enlighten me.

I use DirectSound/DirectShow for everything in Mobile Media Center. That is why it is so fast. I even wrote some portions in pure ILASM code so that I could make sure of the best tweaks. You do not need any other programs to piggy back of off. So I know what you mean. This is a very huge pain in the arse though, since you have to do a lot of things yourself, where other SDK's and software like Winamp already have it done and tested for many years.

Or they just want to save some of the time they volunteer, so they have a life...

Sure... its all in good fun

I looked at that page, but it looks like just another lame winamp knock-off... - except they want money for it, - like im giving my credit card number to a company in SLOVENIJA - No offense to slovenjians... of course (I've been there and its a beautiful country)!!

Yes! Winamp wil play those formats, plus a whole bunch more...

Way too much overkill! (I'd probably need to implement swapfile-technology into my Embedded XP distro in order for WMP to play an mp3

)

Winamp... well, besides winamp as audio player, i don't know why I should choose for it. (Does winamp play mpg/avi/... DivX, XVid, ... ?)

BSPlayer is pretty small and does not require a lot of resources and it starts fast. It has built in subtitle support. (Subs, srt, ...) and it has:
- custom AR (aspect ratios)
- Fully Skinnable (if you are not "stealth"-embedding it)
- Remote control support (WinLIRC)
- Multiple Audio Streams in AVI's supported
- ...

just look at this page for more detailed info on BSPlayer.

You can find the latest version of bsplayer here: http://www.soft82.com/downloads/Windows/BSplayer

I hope they fixed the initial settings on playing WMV movies, seeing "green" people is annoying!
