Visualizations problem

[BigLouis87]

Hi,
in the newest release (r1173) I noticed a new feature,
"Visualisations" (there is also a type error :)), but when I open it a
black window appears and I cannot find a way to let the visualization
work.
Do I have to install any new dependency?
Now I am on Archlinux i686 and "radeon" open driver

Thanks

Does glxgears work?

Yes, it does...
direct rendering works well, I can play 3d games such as Urban Terror

Oops, Visualisations is the British English - I've changed it to
Visualizations in the UI and kept the proper spelling for en_GB ;)
As to the actual problem, I'm not sure what could be wrong. Do you
see anything at all in the window or is it totally black? There
should be an overlay at the bottom with the name of the current track
and some buttons.

What version of Qt do you have?

the window is totally black... I can change quality and dimension from
the menu, toggle fullscreen, but I see black.
It seems that the visualization runs, but I don't see it: cpu
increases and these are messages from console:

virtual bool GnomeGlobalShortcutBackend::DoRegister()
Samplerate 44100 , channels: 2

[PresetFactory] path is r/share/clementine/projectm-presets/Zylot -
String.milk
[PresetFactory] url is /usr/share/clementine/projectm-presets/Zylot -
String.milk

and so on...
it seems to be a problem of overlay. What do you think?

I don't know exactly :) but it is the standard version in the arch
repos, so it should be the latest stable one.

Maybe - try disabling it by commenting lines 64 and 191 of
src/visualisations/visualisationcontainer.cpp, they're the ones that
read:
overlay_proxy_ = scene()->addWidget(overlay_);
and
overlay_proxy_->setOpacity(value);

That should help us narrow down the problem. I think it's more likely
there was some problem setting up the opengl context though... if the
above doesn't work can you try changing line 57 of that same file
from:
setViewport(new QGLWidget(QGLFormat(QGL::SampleBuffers)));
to:
setViewport(new QGLWidget());

I've tried, but nothing has changed...
