Hi,
Milkdrop is fully functional in windowed mode but in full screen it's all black and if I try to return to MB (double-click anywhere on the screen or ESC), MB crashes with no reason.
I tried to install the DirectX fix but it won't install on my machine...
Voilà :)
Steven -- Ryan Geiss put the source code up for anybody to use as of May 15, 2013. You can get it here --> http://www.geisswerks.com/milkdrop/
Maybe you or someone else who knows how can use it to bring new life into Milkdrop.
hopefully this will work better with desktop mode and also better with winamp visualisers generally:
http://musicbee.niblseed.com/V2_4/MusicBee_Exe_Patched.zip
the installation instructions for the milkdrop visualiser itself are on the first post
its my own implementation of desktop mode so it might not behave exactly as desktop mode in winamp
However, I have noticed, and I think this has been brought up before, that the visualizer does not really respond that much to the music, kind of just does its own thing. Do you know of anyway to fix or improve this?

Working fine for me. Try with different output/sound devices setting on player preferences.
Also, many presets are not good at detecting the beat. "Rovastar - Future Speakers" preset is my first choice for testing beat detection.
Try with Speakers instead of Primary Sound Driver. That worked for me before.
How about those options ticked in sound device setting? Does unticking those make any differences?
Is there any way to access these settings with the plugin?

- Showing song titles doesn't work. This was a bummer, as it was something I really liked in Winamp. You can enable the feature, but it always just shows "MusicBee" for the title. No idea how Milkdrop gets this info from Winamp, so no idea if it would be hard to fix or not.
Hey guys. Don't have or want winamp, so could someone upload that ini file. Possibly in the future it could be included with the plug-in?
Cheers.

I think that showing "MusicBee" might have been coded into Steven's adaptation of Milkdrop. Now knowing the folder that the variables are stored in, might allow a change to be made so that the song titles can be made to work.
I noticed if any of the required DirectX 9 drivers are missing, activating milkdrop pops up the following window:

Looks like it came from the old Winamp. If you click yes, it directs to a dead link.
Steven, if you could fix the link of the pop-up window, that'd be great. Otherwise, use the following link to download "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer" (it's the same as the one in first post): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Has anybody had this working on Win 10? With MB 3.0 and Win 10, I get an instant crash ("MusicBee has stopped working") when I try to use it. No error log.

Hmm, the old version of winamp has milkdrop 1.04 and that doesn't work (winamp's error box suggests to restart winamp to no avail). The one that came in with the latest version of Mediamonkey works. I'm not a big visualizer guy, but I just wanted to report what I found.Do you have these files under \Windows\System32 folder?Got both files under \Windows\System32\, have VC redistributable 9.0x (x64 and x86) installed and just tried Milkdrop2 (used the instructions in the first post) -> Insta-crash when enabled on MB 3.0.5880 (OS: Win7 x64).

It's working fine for me (Windows 10). Try installing Winamp to see if milkdrop works within it. That would narrow down the possible causes of the issue.

The visualizer seems to work fine on all fronts, except for the arrow keys. I can use page up and down to skip pages and press enter, but only on the option which is highlighted. Now that seems like a problem with my arrow keys, but they do work everywhere else (including MB menus).
Is there any way to access the config menu to set resolution and preset transition timing, i like raising the timing so the visuals blend with each other every so often ;)
Thanks

Just downloaded this, and am encountering a crash every time I navigate away from the Visualizer tab, then return to the Visualizer tab. So, for example, I'll launch Milkdrop from View > Start visualizer, then head back to the Music tab in order to change songs, and if I click the Visualizer tab it crashes, guaranteed.

I love the visualizer, and all the defaults in MusicBee are laughably terrible, so this is all very disappointing, and if anyone knows of a fix, please let me know.
EDIT: I have no idea as to whether or not this is relevant, but the MusicBee skin I'm using is Dark-Metro DarkORANGE.

Exact same issue for me. Currently running a fully up to date version of Windows 10 on a Ryzen 1700 system with an RTX 2080, but the crashes happened on my older GTX 1070 as well. My skin is PureNight blue, if that matters.
Did you run the "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer"?
Does it always crash or crashes only when you return from specific tabs? If it's the latter, try changing layouts/elements in the tab, for instance a possible conflict between a visualizer element in the tab vs. the visualizer tab.

The only thing apart from the Milkdrop blank screen is a message about DirectX 9 out of date, but I'm running DirectX 12.

It requires DirectX 9 files. You need to run DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from the first post link.
Do you have these files under \Windows\System32 folder?

Just FYI, I've noticed that some media players that require DirectX9 (MPC-HC, MPC-BE) get around the need to do a system install of the Microsoft redist by just inserting two files from that package into the app's folder--D3DX9_43.dll and D3DCompiler_47.dll.
Folks that use Milkdrop could therefore try putting those same two files into MusicBee's "Plugins" folder, if they are averse to running the Microsoft redist web installer, and see if that's a solution.

I did some tests, and probably this would do just for configuring the Transitions tab settings in the screenshot without installing Winamp.
1. Create a sub-folder "Plugins" under your MusicBee\Plugins folder either with normal or portable installation.
2. Save the following text into "milk2.ini" using Notepad and place it under MusicBee\Plugins\Plugins folder you created above.Code[settings]

Whenever the visualization window size in MB changes, the top-half part of this file gets updated automatically. You can adjust the settings in the bottom-half, consulting the screenshot. Those values are Winamp default values. To enable hard cuts, change bHardCutsDisabled value to "0".
When you ran the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer, didn't it put the two files, along with others, into Windows\System32 folder?
Maybe you needed to reboot your machine after running the installer.
Can you try this? Move the two files from MB's plugins folder to somewhere else. And reboot your machine and see if Milkdrop works without the two files in the plugins folder.
If it's still not working, instructions will need to be updated.

To see if those files are present in your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder too as MB is a 32-bit program.

As far as getting the two files mentioned, people who already have MPC-HC or MPC-BE can just copy them out of those app's folder, which I think is safer than trying to find them on a "DLL Downloads" site.
Thanks for the info, Skinjob!

Actually I'm now using a full settings file for milkdrop obtained from a foobar version.
But I'm not going to post the content of the file as it won't be useful at all if you don't see the actual settings dialog.
I just followed the instructions here: https://appuals.com/how-to-get-milkdrop-2-visualisations-in-foobar/
And copied milk2.ini file to the aforementioned MusicBee\Plugins\Plugins folder, then it works.
If you want to change some settings, adjust it with foobar using the plugin's settings dialog, and then copy the settings file again.
There are some settings and keys that get overridden by MB, but most work.

Hi Freddy--I got a little lost along this thread, haha.. Just curious as to if after all the other changes were done, you still needed to keep d3dx9_43.dll and D3DCompiler_47.dll in your MusicBee "Plugins" folder in order for Milkdrop to run properly. In other words, did my initial suggestion actually work, or were you able to find another way to accomplish the same thing?
Just in case it helps any experimenters, I downloaded the whole DX9 "full install" package from Microsoft and extracted just the 32-bit d3dx9_43.dll from it. I've put that in a 7-zip upload together with the D3DCompiler_47.dll from my own 32-bit Windows 7 SP1 System32 folder. So people who want to try what I suggested previously (https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=1796.msg160657#msg160657) don't need to get MPC-HC, etc. first. The 7-zip is here:

I've followed the instructions for installation but when I select Milkdrop 2.2 I just get a blank screen. Any ideas?

Yeah is been a busy day, I tried a few things under the guidance of @Redwing with his invaluable assistance!
I removed those two dll files from Musicbee\Plugins, and Milkdrop locked up MB.
I put them back again, all ok after a reboot once again.
I've not done the update to DirectX 9.0 runtimes, as all working fine without!

So by adding:
D3DCompiler_47.dll
D3DX9_43.dll
to the MusicBee/Plugins folder as part of the milkdrop visualiser install suffices to get it running without doing the full DX9 install?

MilkDrop's working technically in MB for me, but I'm having an issue where it's not fully reacting to music. I'm not too sure what the issue is, and I've poked about in MB's settings, toggling this and that on/off without any result.
I tested in Winamp as well and it was working totally fine in that.

This is how I got it working from scratch.I had milkdrop working a year ago and since then a windows update corrupted my ssd and i have been installing musicbee and milkdrop again. When i open milkdrop i get an error saying C:\Program Files (x86)\musicbee\plugins\milkdrop2\data\include fix unable to read the data file. did you encounter this error?
I have a portable SSD to where I installed my Music Bee Portable Version.
On My main Windows 10 PC I ran into all the problems getting Milkdrop to work but eventually with a lot of copying and pasting and back and forth it all now works. What is curious is that when I plugged my external SSD into a different Windows10 Laptop, milkdrop ran first time. This leads me to believe only the 3 files are needed to be copied to the Plugins directory. I also copied the script posted on the previous page into milkdrop2.ini file but not tried without it.
I ran the Directx web installer and copied over the 3 files (D3DX9_31.dll, D3XD9_43.dll & D3DCompiler_47.dll from my syswow64 folder to my MusicBee/Plugins folder. I believe these versions are correct and resolved milkdrop not starting as I had previously downloaded those files from random sites. I suggest checking those .dlls are exactly the right version and you should be able to start MilkDrop without the Directx Message or the Graphics Driver message. (I've had both errors on my journey to get it working!) Finally if it throws up a message about any missing files from /data then check your Data folder is in MusicBee/Plugins/Milkdrop2/Data. Hope this post helps someone somewhere. I set up an account just to share this info!

Download this link for the visualiser zip file:

unzip and copy the files to the MusicBee Plugins folder
you should end up with
c:\program files\musicbee\plugins\vis_milk2.dll
c:\program files\musicbee\plugins\Milkdrop2\...
c:\program files\musicbee\plugins\Microsoft.VC90.CRT\...
when you start MusicBee you should see MilkDrop 2.2 in the list of visualisers
in my own testing, i did have rare cases where the MilkDrop visualiser failed with a "out of memory" error for no apparent reason. You need to restart MusicBee and all should be OK again
Some users may need to update their DirectX 9.0 runtimes:

Hello
I found a solution for the Windows Store edition
When you install musicbee through the Windows Store
There are two paths to its files
1- "C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\50072StevenMayall.MusicBee_kcr266et74avj\LocalCache\Roaming\MusicBee"
2- "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\50072StevenMayall.MusicBee_3.4.1.0_x86__kcr266et74avj\win32\"
It is not possible to write in the second path by default
What should be done now to install MILKDROP VISUALISER?
We need to extract the contents of the MILKDROP zip file in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\50072StevenMayall.MusicBee_3.4.1.0_x86__kcr266et74avj\win32\Plugins"
We can change the username group to make it possible to write in the second path
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezB_X83D6dE
Which I do not recommend at all
Or it can be done by bootable a usb with a rescue disk or a Linux distribution
I recommend l (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/16.04/release/lubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso)ubuntu Desktop 64-bit (https://lubuntu.net/downloads/) (ubuntu base) or Hiren%u2019s BootCD (https://dl2.soft98.ir/soft/h/Hirens.BootCD.PE.x64.1.0.2.rar?1627342719) (windows base)
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/pro-tip-use-rufus-to-create-a-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-almost-any-os/
After your flash is bootable, boot it up and Find the c drive from the Linux or Windows file manager and go to "Program Files\WindowsApps\50072StevenMayall.MusicBee_3.4.1.0_x86__kcr266et74avj\win32\Plugins" and extract the zip content there
Microsoft.VC90.CRT
Milkdrop2
vis_milk2.dll
Then restart
Next you need to install directx 9
You can download the web installer from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35 or from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Download and install offline
If you encounter advpack.dll error or other issues during installation
You can do this:
1. Download the zip file below
https://www.mediafire.com/file/wkb6hvb0kg3x7zc/Directx+d3d+DLLs.rar/file
2- There are two folders inside
dll64 and dll32
3-
If you have Windows 64-bit:
Copy all dll64 contents to "C:\Windows\System32"
And copy all dll32 contents to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64"
ATTENTION:
dll64 contents to System32
dll32 contents to SysWOW64
if you have Windows 32-bit
Copy all dll32 contents to "C:\Windows\System32"
ATTENTION:
dll32 contents to System32
"Skip while copying if you encounter a duplicate file error"
It's Done
Now open the musicbee and select MilkDrop 2.2 from view >> visualizer

copy the milkdrop2 folder and vis_MilkDrop 2.dll to the plugins folder on musicbee in program files.I just did my version with screenshots and works with very old winamp versions: https://getmusicbee.com/addons/visualizer/386/milkdrop-2/
Beautiful. I was still using the other update. Your update is gorgeous. A couple quesitons:
(1) How can we access individual visualizations?
In MB, it just shows the Milkdrop2 folder, not the individual visualizations.
(2) Where are the settings located, such as time to move to next visualization, speed, etc.?

On my USB installation:
\MusicBee\Plugins\Plugins\milk2.ini
I had to create the file manually.

Did anyone find a way to remove the framerate limit of what appears to be 30 fps? :'(
Also it seems that the visualizer is not responding to the complete spectrum. See my screenshots below, half the waveform is just flat. I've noticed same behavior with some other shapes like circles etc. It seems that visualizer is not responding to the complete spectrum.
Could this be just some issue with my settings or is it a universal issue?
You can check any waveform based presets and it's pretty obvious for those, like geiss - blur mix 3.

This thing actually fixed the 30fps cap, so thanks a lot!
