Hi All,
Here is my SuperMusicThingy app revamped for Native Haiku Window.
What changed:
make releaseWhat might come next:
Updated! Projectm Visualizer support now builtin and working!
make release ENABLE_PROJECTM=ON@cocobean ~ Alrighty then!
I modified the makefile to include the projectm libs when projectm=on. Definitely saves time. Here’s the bundle package.
About defaulting to native Haiku Mesa… I don’t believe this is possible with the heavy lifting required by projectm. The app still runs fine but if you try to load the visualizer it just closes the visualizer window immediately. Pretty harmless.

In the data directory/… is a directory pre-defined for projectM files for loading projectM contributor files and viewing within app?
Otherwise, works for me on Haiku R1B5 hrev59671 x64.
Notes:
/config/settings/SuperMusicThingy/milk_presets/
I’ll test this out. Any thoughts on an equalizer feature like the 10-band ADI 560 graphic equalizer?
Then:
~/MilkDrop> ls presets-cream-of-the-crop-master/Supernova/Lasers
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (290).milk'
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (405).milk'
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (58).milk'
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (59).milk'
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (63).milk'
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (83).milk'
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (85).milk'
'$$$ Royal - Mashup (96).milk'
'GreatWho - Lasershow.milk'
'GreatWho + goodie - Lasershow [burning down].milk'
'GreatWho + goodie - Lasershow [sunset rift].milk'
'GreatWho + Hexcollie - Lasershow [stress point].milk'
'GreatWho + Martin + Flexi - Lasershow [sparky kaleidoscope].milk'
'ORB - Fire and Fumes 2.milk'
'ORB - Flexi - Eleventh Element.milk'
'ORB - Waaa (Jelly 5-55).milk'
'ORB - Waaa.milk'
'ORB - Wheel of Fire.milk'
~/MilkDrop> cp presets-cream-of-the-crop-master/Supernova/Lasers/'GreatWho - Las
ershow.milk' ~/config/settings/SuperMusicThingy/milk_presets
~/MilkDrop>
Started app. Didn’t work (opened visualizer window and then closed window). I was thinking I can read and select my MilkDrop preset so I can change it from the GUI to test them.
On a different note, the visualizer window accepts some keyboard and mouse input and has a code to only shuffle favorites instead of all the channels. Pressing the ‘F’ key on your keyboard will shuffle only your favorites. Just thought I’d mention this until I add code for shuffling genre.
I noticed you used cp so we can disregard the symlink theory.
I put the same file in my preset folder
~/config/settings/SuperMusicThingy/milk_presets> ls
'GreatWho - Lasershow.milk'
~/config/settings/SuperMusicThingy/milk_presets>
Started the app and it runs normal and the visualizer works normal.
That was the issue. I can fix that. Otherwise, looks good for now.
If you want a Haiku source equalizer (with gui), have a look at the Medo Equalizer add-on:
Ok. Medo has a 20-band equalizer… 
I will probably instead write something to use ladspa plugins and hopefully be as good, or at least similar in sound quality to jamin. Jamin does actually work but only one audio source at a time. My jamin code isn’t complex and proper enough to handle multiple sources. Jamin does have a very large EQ, and very nice low,mid,high band filtering engine. I love it. Of course that’s too big for my little music app, but maybe with a little tweaking and whatnot … can fit it in.
Visualization - I’ll just suggest a player version that uses Mesa GL moreso for wider adoption for non-Nvidia Haiku users.
Nvidia driver - is still new and not officially implemented yet.
Equalizer - the older players had 10-band with pre-amp. Good enough.
Manual channel selection - suggested
Otherwise, I really like where the player development has grown.
Any reason to implement your own? It should work out of the box with the system colours. By recursively changing colours just to text views, you get the problem that can be seen in the second screenshot in the repo (the audio quality menu with black text on dark background in the config tab).
BTW, a BMenuField already accepts text for a label and makes it part of the menu, no need to add a BStringView with it.
The reason for adding a dark theme in the app is simple: some users will prefer not to have tracker and deskbar dark and just the app. It’s really a matter of choice and having the best of both worlds. The reason for the BMenu code logic was for the theme logic. The theme logic doesn’t seem to work unless I use what I currently use. I appreciate the advice though as I did look into it.
New latest updates
Regular Version: HaikuSuperMusicThingy-1.0.0-1-x86_64.hpkg ( no SDL/GL logic )
If you have Haiku Nightly, a Turing+ GPU supported Nvidia card, libglvnd-1.7.0-4-x86_64.hpkg and nebula-0.0.2-1.x86_64.hpkg you can try this version: HaikuSuperMusicThingy-projectM-bundle-1.0.0-1-x86_64.hpkg
I didn’t even know milk2 & milk3 even existed! Neat! Sounds like a great idea. I’ll do that soon as add the option to select notify icon sizes. Big icons are fun I think.
