projectM Music Visualizer TV

Sperl Heavy Industries

About this app

projectM is the most advanced music visualizer available for Android TV. It has the smoothest graphics, the most presets, and is the most responsive to music.

projectM will visualize any sound playing on your Android TV. Start playing something in Pandora, Spotify, or any other player, then start projectM to see incredible visuals. You can play/pause and skip tracks from within projectM, so you won't need to switch back and forth to enjoy your music + visuals.

projectM is essentially a rewrite of MilkDrop with modern technologies. It is compatible with MilkDrop (.milk) presets.

Features:

- Over 200 visual effects
- 60 FPS Pixel Shaded Rendering
- Music Player Control (Stock Player, Google Music, Spotify, Pandora, PowerAMP, etc.)
- Configurable graphics quality

To increase quality or performance, adjust texture size under settings. Mesh size is also useful if texture size isn't enough.

This is the Official projectM for Android brought to you by the original projectM developers.

Ratings and reviews

Been using this on my phone for years and so far it's working fine on the new Chromecast with Google TV. A few crashes, but much more stable with the texture size at 1024 and the FPS at 40. It seems it won't grab track info from Spotify? I've experienced the same behavior on the phone version.

Something is definitely broken here, as the visualizations are way way way too fast. Some of them really just look like indistinct visual noise. Also, why does it have to use the mic? Can't it read the audio from the media player directly? Disappointing, since the visualizations themselves are excellent.

Awesome project. Use it on Kodi via plugin, Linux from source, and on Android TV through the $3 app. One thing I've noticed on the Android TV app is I can not set tolerance levels, and it appears on TV it's not in sync with the music a lot. I'm questioning if it's only using mic as source on TV version which will fail and just use default out of sync sequence. I downloaded phone version and it does allow you to set mic, audio, or both. The sync issue on the TV build was checked with the new and old model Nvidia Shield TV (Android 9) using the Spotify app. Would be nice to confirm if it's an audio source issue or if tolerance tweaking would fix this.
