“kew is great”
- Jean-Baptiste Kempf “the VLC guy”, President of VideoLAN and Lead developer of VLC.
A few updates on kew:
1. I got winamp style (milkdrop/projectm) visualizations going in the terminal in kew. Demo preview here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogAKuaRk7aU
This will be in the next version of kew. You can try it with a bit of work but for now it's only on Linux. This runs in a separate plugin and doesn't require much changes to kew, since we already support visualizations this way with chroma.
2. kew is now on winget. So to install on windows you can do it with this simple command:
winget install kew
3. We cleared the backlog of bugs that appeared after the UI re-write, 22 bugs fixed in 4.4.0.
Would love to hear your feedback on the visualizations!
