Title: Music visualiser on second screen
Post by: DStealth on August 17, 2021, 08:48:46 am

Hi all. Finished Bartop/ Full size arcade (If you see it, you'll know its both  :)) It has a jukebox just for videogame ost's, as I want to keep the gaming theme. One thing I haven't found as yet is a music visualizer that can run on  a second monitor marquee while the main screen is showing the jukebox.  Has anyone found such a thing? I'm currently using BigBox as my arcade front end it that helps.

You would need a "stand-alone" visualizer.  Something like G-Force would probably do the trick.  The only thing which might be tricky is getting it to automatically come up on the second display and go to full-screen.  An AHK script might be enough to tackle that issue, but there may be other options out there.  DisplayFusion appears to be one, but it's not free.

Thanks, I'll try it out

As I understand it, KODI will run on another display with the visualizer plugins.
