Erratic when waveform activated #558
Comments
hi @Kellsen, The waveform visualization is very raw as it is now. Just draws each sample as a bar in the terminal (adds up left+right if it is stereo). So it will be very erratic. If you have a lot of bars it looks slightly better, but not great. Here is same song with a lot of bars 512 maybe i think is max: strangely the gif conversion made it look better. I think I could make it smoother by adding some filters, but haven't gotten around to it yet. |
Ah, alright. So it isn't just me 👍 I'm using DeadBeef which has a spectrum plugin that looks nice. Hence I wanted to implement it in my Conky (which it actually isn't. It's just a script superimposed to my conky handled by devislpie2) But thanks so far for that cool app! Looking forward to what's coming :) 👍 |
Heya all,
I built cava today from latest release, all working as expected but when I activate waveform instead bars the display becomes totally erratic and that can't be changed with any config settings. I tried it all.
Setting it back to bars it's smooth and looks nice.
The upper one is with waveform enabled, bar spacing=0, the lower one is an older, cached instance with waveform deactivated and bar spacing=1. It runs in a urxvt subwindow with devilspie2 handling it so it looks like it's embedded in my Conky, which it is not. But it wouldn't make a difference either way.
I played around with all the settings in the cava config that would occur to me but nothing helps.
I hope it makes sense.
System is LMDE 6 (Faye), Kernel 6.1.0-18-amd64, Graphics GeForce 3060Ti with 550.67 Driver, DE is Cinnamon 6.0.4, cava output is default
