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

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.

Ever since my Nvidia Shield was updated to Android TV Version 11, or Shield Experience 9+, the music responding aspect of this app doesnt work. The visuals still work, and the day dream work, but when you're playing background music, the visualizers do not respond to the music. I presume this is a problem with the OE and not the app itself, but this no longer supports the "most responsive to music" claim in the description. Visualizers are still dope but core functionality isn't there :(

Using Nvidia Shield Pro 2019, runs well at 60 fps max texture size of 2048. The visuals are not the best I've seen though there are many to choose from. My biggest complaint is the lack of controls for each visualization, in particular the speed of each. Most are very fast even when listening to easy listening music, and hectic with quick zoom in and outs I find disorienting. Not an expert, I am not epilectic, but as I can't tolerate many for too long, maybe there should be a warning for users with epilepsy not purchase this app. If they implement controls for the intensity of the visuals I would give at least stars, maybe 5.
