Mini player controls
While in the GUI you are able to browse all of XBMC and even look at pictures while playing music. During GUI playback you can call up the Mini player controls at any time. In the default skin Confluence, you can do this two ways:
Sidebar
While the sidebar tab is present and while media is playing, bringing up the sidebar/blade menu by navigating to the left will reveal a small selection of player controls.
Window
A pop-up window with mini player controls can be brought up in Confluence while media is playing. This window does not have a default key or GUI button. To view this window you must map a key for your keyboard/remote using a keymap using the action ActivateWindow(PlayerControls).
- Example
<a>ActivateWindow(PlayerControls)</a>
Visualizations
One of the most impressive features of My Music is its integrated support for visualizations, which are a way to make your music come to life on screen. XBMC offers support for many visualizations and some of the following may be present in your installation:
- Saville
- Saville Blue
- Spectrum Analyzer
- StarBurst
- Boxalizer 1 and 2
- Fountain
- G-Force
- Goom
- Milkdrop - Arguably the best of all, with its mind-bending effects and the ability to fully customize it through the User Interface
- Vortex
You can configure Visualization in one of two different ways: Through Music Settings or through the On Screen Display (OSD) while playing the Visualization.
