Description

@Grassgrowz

Desktop

  • OS: Linux Mint, kernel 5.15.0-171-generic
  • OS version: 21.3
  • Tauon Version: 9.0.0
  • Installation method: Flatpak from Software Manager

Describe the bug
When activating the Milkdrop Visualizer, the album image remains, the text to click through to the next image is gone, while the new milkdrop visualizer related text appears in the top right of the image view, but no visualization is visible (says "Default", then below FPS: 0).The recommended preset pack was downloaded upon promted beforehand.

When running Tauon through the terminal, it says "Could not find libprojectM-4 (t_main.py:36307)", but in apt i only see libprojectm2v5 available to install. Installing that didnt help either.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Menu, go to the view mode at the very top
  2. in the Album image pane on the right side, click on 'Enable Milkdrop Visualizer.'

Expected behavior
Animated visualisation to appear
