NAME
fische - standalone sound visualisationSYNOPSIS
fische [options]OPTIONS
-D --driver driver
- Use the specified audio input driver. Presently alsa and pulse are supported. Autodetected by default.
-d --device device
- device names the alsa pcm capture device to get the sound data from. Does nothing when PulseAudio is used. On most systems, the default will do just fine.
-g --geometry XxY
- X and Y specify the width and height of the animation. Defaults to 800x400.
-v --virtual XxY
- X and Y specify the width and height of the application window. Use this to prevent your computer from trying to switch to non-existent fullscreen resolutions.
-f --fullscreen
- Start fische in fullscreen mode.
-s --fps fps
- fps specifies the target frames per second. The default, 30, is what fische is designed for
-1 --single
- Use only one CPU, even if there are more available
-p --predictive
- Use predictive beat detection (experimental)
--exit-on-mouseevent
- Exit when a mouse button is clicked (useful mainly on touchscreens)
-n --nowrite
- Do not update the configuration file with the last known working configuration.
-h --help
- Display a basic help message.
RUNTIME CONTROLS
At runtime, press P to pause, F to toggle fullscreen mode and ESC to quit. R toggles predictive beat detection, which is experimental at this stage. With the --exit-on-mouseevent flag, fische does exactly that.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you get an error like "X Error of failed request: BadValue..."
- Try to start fische with the -v or --virtual flags and set X/Y to values that correspond to a fullscreen resolution that you know exists. For example: fische -g 1400x700 -v 1400x1050
If fische starts, but won't react to sound
- First of all, try a different input driver. If you are lucky, this already solves your problem.
- If not, you now have to choose which driver you would like to get working:
- pulse: Fische opens the default source as set with pavucontrol or similar tools. For example, if you would like to visualize "what's playing", set the corresponding "monitor of output XYZ" device as default.
- alsa: You might be using the wrong ALSA device. By default, fische tries to open the "default" device. It should be correctly configured on most systems, but with some soundcards you need complex ALSA configuration to achieve recording capabilities - look into the ALSA documentation. For example, soundcards with ICE1712 chips record internally produced sound on channels 10 and 11 instead of 0 and 1.
- alsa: Recording might not be enabled. Check with "alsamixer" or an other mixer application. If you are trying to visualize sounds produced by an audio player, you must enable recording of what's called "PCM" on most cards. For external input, record "Line In", and so on...
- alsa: Your sound card might not support recording of your chosen source. In this case, you are in bad luck. Most notably, many C-Media based cards do not allow recording while SPDIF out is in use. You can try a setup using an "aloop" dummy card - but that process is far beyond the scope of this README, and with most distributions, it requires kernel or ALSA re-compilation. However, in this case the PulseAudio input driver might still give you the desired results.
