GPUSpectogram creates a bitmap spectogram without associating the rendered bitmap to a window handle. The GPUSpectogram project included with the DirectX 10 SDK shows an example of a windowless DirectX 10 device. DXGI basically facilitates the use of the graphics processor without tying the DirectX device directly to a window. DirectX 10 contains Microsoft's reorganization of the graphics pipeline for Windows Vista. While it's true that DirectX 10 make a few things simpler, DirectX 10 is basically DirectX 9 with a little reorganization. Follow the directions carefully because the little details make a big difference.
#Windows 10 media player visualizations how to#
A good overview of how to get started can be found here. If you want to make your own visualization from scratch, you can use the WMP SDK which is part of the Windows Platform SDK. You'll need to run " regsvr32 WM3DSpectrum.dll" from an Administrator privileged command prompt to register WM3DSpectrum.dll on Vista. When building on Windows Vista, Visual Studio will unsuccessfully try to register WM3DSpectrum.dll as part of the build process. I have the paths to the Windows SDK configured in the project file, so those paths should not have to be changed if you have installed the SDK in the default location. The DirectX includes and libraries should be in their appropriate search paths. Your graphics card should support the DirectX shader model 3 (vs_3_0 and ps_3_0). To build the project, you will need the DirectX 9.0c SDK and the Windows Platform SDK version 6.1.

The attached installer should install everything else for you. If you just want to install the binaries, you will need to make sure the DirectX 9.0c redistributables and Windows Media Player 11 are installed on your system. It's tested only on Vista Home Premium, but it should work on XP as long as you have Windows Media Player 11 and the DirectX 9.0c redistributables installed. This project uses DirectX 9.0c to do the 3D rendering, and integrates with Windows Media Player.
This interactive 3D spectrum analyzer not only provides an audio visualization that is appealing to the eye, it also shows some details of how sounds change over time to help us understand more about how audio works. As a techie and an audio/music enthusiast, I like to see the technical details of everything, even my music.
When you are listening to your favorite song, a little visual entertainment just makes your favorite song even more enjoyable.
