Audioscape

Description
Another simple audio responsive wallpaper. Animates simple waves when there is no audio.

No background images included, screenshots are just an example. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallpapers/ is where I pulled most from over the years

Options:
- 1-3 color background or background image
- can use the default color rotation or configure a custom gradient for the lines
- Adjust displaying on top/bottom or both
- Only show left/right channel .. or .. both
- Can adjust heights of waves
- 2 layouts ( mid/screenedge )

Beware: might cause High CPU usage depending on your settings.



Not reacting to audio
Check the sticky, it mentions several reasons for wallpapers not reacting to audio.

I haven't transcoded video in many years, but these are some tools I used in a distant past. For normal use:

Really simple to use is "Miro" ( mirovideoconverter.com ). Select a file, select output format and convert. This software was great when converting for specific (older) devices. But it's is probably the easiest to use that I can think of and when looking at the site they claim to support webm.

If you want more control you can go with Handbrake ( handbrake.fr ) that is also open source and you can configure all kinds of transcoding settings and should be able to convert to webm too but the crowded interface might seem a bit complex.

As with downloading any software on windows, be sure to have a virus scanner running like windows defender or any other 3rd party option.

okay i will try that any programs you recommend for doing that?

@jisr10142 What is exactly the problem? Keep in mind that videos have to be encoded as webm or ogg/ogv files as those are the formats webwallpapers in WE can play.

Okay, no problem ;)

@Gorzon My guess is that you allow the wallpaper to pause. I've only become aware of this problem last month ( some update in WE doesnt play well in my old code ). But thanks to RL stuff I haven't gotten around to fixing my wallpapers. But thanks for reminding me as I had almost forgotten again. I can't say when I will have it patched but I will try to do it asap.
