Music mode

I think @RanzQ was working on a functionality like that. See here: https://github.com/RanzQ/hyperion-audio-effects
But I never tried it, because I use Windows 10. But maybe a Audio-Stream functionality could be incorporated with the windows grabber in the future. This way the the audio-effects could collaborate with the win grabber. @Rick164 : Do you think this is a viable point on the roadmap for the win grabber? I personally don't really need it, because with windows you can use the visualisations and that works pretty nice with the ambilight.

This youtube thing isn't frequncy based, it's just volume based. The arduino code can be ported to a hyperion effect, but biggest problem is to get the audio in. In linux you have since pulsaudio no standard always available audio interface. That makes it hard to get a good solution. ...

I've been thinking about this for a while ...

Gstreamer and audio capture seems like an awfully complex hack.

For the kodi use case, I think we need to take a standard visualization and simply get it to spit out the FFT buckets for us to consume

best (and most complex) way would be supporting multiple audio interfaces. jack, alsa, pulsaudio, gstreamer. Is there a lib that wrappes all those audio stuff?

Anything new for audio?

no, not yet. we are currently making next generation hyperion with lot's of reworks, refactoring and cleanups ... audio stuff will be targeted afterwards ... no clue when this will be

implemention or other details not defined yet.
I can imagine that audio data is available in effects and there you can implement sound to light.

we could use pyAudio in effects script. This is based on portAudio lib and therefore it is compat to all major linux (and win/osx) audio systems.

I already played around with that while using jasper voice control (http://jasperproject.github.io/). There we can take the "mic.py" as an example how we can implement that.

One tiny problem is: My development system has a sound setup that is incompatible with portaudio. So I currently can't develop it.

Thx! we can adapt the python code and make an effect for music mode

Hello! I'm the creator of scottlawsonbc/audio-reactive-led-strip. I noticed some traffic originating from this page. I have no idea what Hyperion is, but if you want have any questions feel free to ask

Just FYI, another interesting outside code reference for FFT / Audio work with WS2182s and Arduino nootropic lumazoid and code.
