XMMS VU-meter plugin Version >= 0.9.2 (http://vumeterplugin.sourceforge.net/themes.php), which is dockable to the XMMS-Player and supports the LED-Clipping.
Audacious Analog VU meter plugin 0.8 from (http://www.netswarm.net/)
* RPM-Packages Vumeterplugin XMMS SuSE * James Ogley (http://usr-local-bin.org) has build the Packages for all SuSE-Distributions. * You can download it from following adress: (http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/Riggwelter/) * Also have a visit to (http://oxfam.org.uk/in). -Thanks too-
* Package Vumeterplugin for Slackware 11.0 *(http://www.slacky.it/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=29&func=fileinfo&id=809)
* SuSE-Distribution !!! * To get the XMMS-Player working properly, install the packages "xmms" and "xmms-lib" * from PACKMAN (http://packman.links2linux.de/package/xmms).
To install a Player-Skin put the downloaded "*******.wsz" - File in the directory: /home/~/.xmms/Skins ---- XMMS can read "*.wsz" - Files. If You have downloaded a Tar-archive extract it to the same directory ( Actual version of the XMMS-Player is 1.2.10, needs only 2% CPU-Time )
Installation of the VU-meterplugin:
If there is no RPM-Package for Your Distribution available You have to install from sources, don`t be afraid, it's easy !
1. Download and untar the Source-File from "Sourceforge" (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56771&package_id=52133) 2. Check whether You have installed the GCC Compiler on Your system and update the XMMS-Player if necessary. Install the "XMMS-Devel Package" !!! 3. Open a console and become root, go into the untared directory of the vumeterplugin. 4. Run following 3 commands one after the other: ./configure or configure make make install When You get an error-message, look at "google" to solve the problem !!! 5. The plugin is now installed. Next You have to make a new directory called VU_Meter_skins in Your local XMMS-directory (/home/~/.xmms/). Move the "default" and the other Skins from the untared Plugin to the new directory. Start XMMS and activate the VUmeter-plugin. Ready! When it doesn't starts, then first have a look on the rights of the new files.
A detailed installation guidance for the plugin and the Skins You can find under: (http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/dicas/verDica.php?codigo=7789) or: (http://www.jellykernel.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=112&Itemid=25)
Configuration
You can configure the plugin by clicking the button leftside top. I prefer the settings You can see in the 2 windows of the screenshot. There is also a config-file in each Skin-directory, there You can set items as for example the color of the needles and more, more, more...Last changelog:

Dear ottlux
I successfully installed it in in lucid lynx and it works flawlessly.It looks more than just beautiful I love it so much to have such wonderful plugins.
Thank you very much- my lord !
The VUmeter-Skins need a new Konfiguration-File for the new VUmeter-Plugin 1.0.0 to work properly!!
I've made some new Skins for Download.
More Skins for the new Plugin will follow.

I just download analog-vu-meter-plugin-1.0.0-beta.tar.gz and get a error
while configuring,
checking for AUDACIOUS... no
configure: error: *** Audacious >= 1.5.0 not installed - please install
first ***
however, I have Audacious 2.2-1 installed, so I just wonder if
analog-vu-meter-plugin-1.0.0-beta is available for Audacious 2.x or not?
Dress makes a man? I was able to install uv meter in Jaunty but whenever I try to install it in 9.10 Karmic- 64 Bit it gives me the message " no make file found"Could you help me to solve this .
Thank you for this beautiful work.

Hey does anybody know the name of the window decoration theme, its visible in the second screen shot, where the buttons look like they are handwritten?
I'm not talking about one of VUmeter skins, but of the window theme..!
Iknow its a little late...
Thanks for any help =)
Hi,
The Theme You are looking for
is called "Crystal".
You find it on KDE-Look:

It's beautiful, Enjoy it!

I don't succeed change my skin :-(
I put extracted skin file in skin dir of XMMS, then I try to change skin in xmms (Alt-S>select new skin) but the skin doesn't change. The only skin changeable is default debian skin
XMMS ver. is 1.2.10
The Skin`s are for the "Analog VUmeter-plugin" of XMMS.
You must differentiate between Player-Skin and VUmeter-Skin.
To use other Player-Skins, put them into the skin directory of XMMS.
To use VUmeter-Skins You have first to install or to compile the
"Analog VUmeter-plugin" and to extract the VUmeter-Skins in the VU_Meter_skins directory.
Try first some Player-Skins and activate them with ALT-S in XMMS. When You like the
XMMS-Player and You want to have the additonal VUmeter-plugin, compile it.
Go step by step through my Installation-guidance for the plugin and have also a look
on other sides with explanations how to install the plugin:
