Windows 7 Spectrum display plugin

[dperrow]

Seems like a fairly old version of the plugin. Can you try the one in the previous post. Also the log says the chosen device is 7. You should be setting it to 25 in the config file if that's the one you want.

[furioussgamer]

Yes the log file show 7 but not in the config file, i have try 24 and 25 without success.

Here is the new log file:

[dperrow]

According to that log file then the program is not seeing the AudioDevice value. Can you check that it is EXACTLY as follows (no spaces, same upper/lower case use, on a line of it's own etc.). :
AudioDevice=25


BTW the device to select should be "[Enabled][Input][Loopback]" so for 24/25 you would choose 25.

The log file should show AudioDevice=25 if it picks it up okay from the config file.

[furioussgamer]

Ok, it works fine on HDMI output but i don't know how to get it on usb speaker!

[Jojo]

Hi ! Your code works well on windows 10 !

Except one thing, we can see the first number of the parameter after the #.
In your ReadMe example, you use #1, 16 or #2, 16, and we can see the 1 or the 2 in the screen
Also, what is your pluggin of your screenshot in the first post ? I'm trying to get the same, but for VLC...

Thanks and bye !

[Latvian3Dman]

Hello again! After long pause, I am returning to LCDsmartie world
I also have that issue, previously mentioned: when using mode "1" (spectrum), first position on screen prints a number that is after the first "#" symbol. If I have this line:
$dll(SPC,1,1#4#2,32) (meaning: mode 1, line 1, lines on screen 4, smoothness 2, channels 32)
then I have on screen this:
4 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Spectrum works normal, just that first position number is annoying. Any suggestions please? Do I have wrong syntaxis maybe?
Thanks in advance!

[jojo337]

Hi, the only solution I found is to use the SPC plugin that is given with the beta++ version !
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdsmartie/

You can just copy/paste all the SPC files that are in the plugin folder of the download, into your own LCDsmartie plugin folder !

More about tests I have done in this subject : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3564

Sorry for my mistakes. Bye !

[Latvian3Dman]

Thanks for hint, jojo337. But - seems that is older version of SPC plugin, it does not have VU-meter function.
Could You try these lines? Those are VU-bars for left and right channel. They are not working for me with that older DLL file:

$Bar($dll(SPC,4,L,1#7),32767,20)
$Bar($dll(SPC,4,R,1#7),32767,20)

[jojo337]

Yes me neither, it seems that this function has been added in a newer version !

[Latvian3Dman]

Okay, I found how to fix that, and it is soooo simple that it is not even funny. Okay, it is a bit. Anyway: just take DLL file from this post:
by dperrow » Fri Apr 12, 2013
it is one page back. That's it.
DLL size is the same, 20480, but date is 2013.04.12 , april.
Wrong doing file is 20480, date 2013.09.11, september.
I am not sure (don't remember) at what point, how, and where I got that september file.
Probably september file has fixed something. But made that display weird problem with numbers after #.

Anyone knows how to set two different AudioDevices?

Since I have two different audio ouputs (2 hdmi), when I switch to the other, spc doesnt show anything. I have to edit again scp.cfg or Made two different lcdsmartie folders for every output.

Wonder If we can set the plugin to look for another cfg file? So I could do ie. Screen 1 look for a cfg file and screen 2 look for another cfg file. This way, one of the two screen will always show spectrum, if screen 1 cant find audio, screen 2 will do and vice versa.

[dperrow]

The cfg file is only read when the program starts. Also two outputs can't be monitored at the same time from the one program.


It's a long time since I did anything with this (4 years or so) but isn't there a generic windows output device you can select? or have you tried letting it automatically select? get a list of the devices and try them individually.

Instructions for configuring devices are in the doc file as follows:

If you have multiple enabled output sound devices the program may not find the correct one and will just display a line of dashes. This can be resolved in one of two ways:

• Disable any unused output devices from control Pane/Sound/Playback
• Switch debug on (see below), run LCDSmartie with a call to SPC included, examine the log file and select the preferred loopback device (or mixer device for Windows XP) entry. Then edit the SPC.cfg file and set AudioDevice to this entry number and debug=0. For Windows XP set the AudioDevice to 0 and the AudioInput to the mixer device number.

When the SPC.dll plugin runs it may ceate a log file in the plugins folder:

“SPC.log” – a log file if the debug flag is switched on (see below).

Hi, yes, I have the output, didnt find any generic. Also tried automatic with no luck.

Spectrum LCDSmartie Plugin by Dave Perrow 8th March 2012
SPC plugin version 1.0.44.255

SPC file modified date is 2015/12/14

I had to use 13 for TV and 9 for AVR.

Do you think another one could work? I tried only from 0 to 14.

Deleted many related to microphones from log to make it shorter.

Win10 here.

BTW, maybe can we mod the plugin to look for cfg2 and could be called scp2.dll? Then we can have two plugins for the same thing? Dont know.

[dperrow]

The device needs to be [Enabled][Input][Loopback] for it to work, Have you tried 17

if you take a copy of SPC.dll and rename it to SPC2.dll it should look for a cfg file called SPC2.cfg. However, it uses a BASSWASAPI dll so I don't know what will happen but may be worth a try.

Output 17 didnt worked.

Also renamed scp.dll to scp2.dll and cfg to cfg2 and lcdsmartie doesnt even show the line bar. Seems is no posible to rename.

Btw, the three latest bars from right never show any signal. Which frequencies do they represent?

If I change scaling to 5 they start to show, but wont reach more than 2 o 3 levels and all other bars are pretty much at full level all the time with scaling 5.

[dperrow]

Just had a look at the code and you're right it always opens SPC.cfg, sorry. I'll have a think.

[trihy]

Just had a look at the code and you're right it always opens SPC.cfg, sorry. I'll have a think.

Thanks @dperrow.

In the meantime, just made 2 instances of lcdsmartie. One with audiodevice 9 and one with audiodevice 13, so when I use the tv, i open one, and when the avr, the other. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

BTW, I tried a signal generator and when signal is about 20khz it reach this line _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _**_ _ _

The remaining three at the right never move when generating frequencies from 20hz to 20khz. If this can be corrected or improved, will be so great.

[dperrow]

How do you swap between the two devices? do you disable one and enable the other in the sound dialog or what?

[dperrow]

Are you sure about the 20Khz limit ? I don't have a signal generator but all of the bars on mine move (including the top 3) when I play music. Could something else be limiting the frequency?

[trihy]

Hi. Yes, im sure. You can use a youtube video with a signal generator like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNf9nzvnd1k

When I hit 20khz I still have 3 bars empty at the right.

Edit. Bug and how to reproduce it, found. Read next page, please.

When I turn on the AVR hdmi, audio gets automatically changed to that. When turn off, it goes to tv hdmi. This is a windows feature, no third party apps.

When one audio is in use, the other is totally off for the system. It shows not connected on win audio properties.

Also discovered that after installing an nvidia driver update, audiodevices id got changed for other random numbers. So after a driver update, had to edit cfg again.

Is not that bad anyway Do you think the plugin could listen to two audiodevice inputs? Maybe this could solve it, since there is no way that both outputs are on at the same time (windows limitation) maybe plugin can listen to both inputs. Always will get signal right that way, but not sure if possible.

I found the problem about empty bars at the right.

When you set audio output to 24bit 192khz, it shows the problem.

If you set audio output to 16bit 44.1khz, problem doesnt show and all bars are moving.

This can be changed on windows audio properties, advanced settings.

I guess plugin gets confused by this?

Edit 16bit 192khz also show the problem.

At 96khz only two bars never move, instead of 3 on 192khz.

So, probably some divider is doing something wrong when sampling rate increases.

Interesting discovery.

Winamp lcdsmartie equalizer has the same limitation. At 192khz the 3 latest bars on the right wont move.

Seems winamp plugin can be solved by adding more lines to the eq. ie 20 lines when using a 16 lines lcd, looks like the bars not moving are out of the screen size and all bars are moving.

But adding more bars doesnt have this effect on scp plugin.

I've created an updated version of the spectrum display dll.

The update allows auto selection of one of two output devices and the ability to only display part of the output. At high bit rates 20Khz and greater values are not displayed so the top 3 or 4 bars are always zeroed.

There's a doc file included in the zip providing further details.

I can confirm it works pretty fine.

If you use another audio output different than 16bit 44.1khz, you will need to play with spectrum number of bars. Since some bars will not move if using higher sampling output (most affected are 96khz, 192khz and up)

Use a signal test from 20 to 20khz from youtube and check where 20khz ends, it should be around the last bar on the right. If that doesnt happen, make the spectrum bigger or smaller according to this.

Hi. How are you? Hope good.

I was using this plugin for many months, works great.

But yesterday connected a BT headset and was wondering if we can upgrade to 3 outputs?

Do you think it could be possible?

Problem Id noticed for this is that when tv is on, BT and tv audio are enabled, besides outputting audio only on BT headset, so It will be a little difficult to tell scp on which one listen for EQ.

I could just make a new instance of lcdsmartie with only the id of the bt headset.

Thanks
