Visualisations in VLC

Last summer, I worked on VLC media player as part of the Google Summer of Code, One part of my job was to integrate libprojectM inside VLC media player.
libprojectM is a library that create visualisation accoring to the samples it receive. As you can see the results are really amazing. And for the next version of VLC media player you will normally see this nice feature. Lest enjoy a first screenshot!

When You finisht this plugin?
And this is projectM 2.0 ?
The plugin can either use projectM 1.0 or projectM 2.0, but the aspect is really better with projectM 2.0.
I still have some problems with this plugins mainly because of the OpenGL context creation. But this will be fixed for the next release of VLC...
Nice to see... I wonder how to make similar things for my hobby. I'd like to make a vectorscope or waveform monitor with VLC as a kind of add-on.
Do you have any idea how to start ? Maybe I could take your project and change things...
Until now I try Directshow, I made several filters but they don't work with VLC. I'm expert on C++, but only reasonable in windows.
If you want to play with visualisation inside vlc you must want to look at the modules in the directory modules/visualization/.
In this directory you will find every visualization modules (and the projectm one).
I you want to play with projectM, just have a look at http://projectm.sourceforge.net/ and look at the exemple folder in the release.
