Visualizers don't load for me in PlexAmp

I’m having quite a few bugs in PlexAmp; library radio and time travel radio does not work. They either show the last played song (doesn’t even play it) or show nothing (if there was nothing recently played).

Clicking the VIZ just blurs the art and does nothing, no matter what visualizer I select in the settings.

Actually, rechecking all the visualizers, only Pulsar Joy works, which is really sad since It’s the least exciting of all the visualizer pictures I’ve seen online.

The same goes for me none of the viz work other than Pulsar Joy. This is on my Win 10 laptop which is a locked down and does have duel video.

Exactly the same for me. Only the one visualizer is working, Pulsar Joy. Plexamp is in need of some refinement but generally I love where it looks like it’s gong. I just wish it was already there. I really hope they make this a full blown part of the plex ecosystem.

Same for me, Win10 laptop, Pulsar Joy is the only one that works for me aswell.

Mac OS Plexamp v1.0.5: same as the users above, the only visualizer working is Pulsar Joy (the emulation Joy Division’s “Unknown Pleasures” album cover art).

This sounds like you may be seeing identical issues as me: Plexamp bug: Visualizers using WebGL not working on 2011 macbook pro (while Canvas works)

The culprit seem to be setting some flags in chromium on which plexamp is based. Links and details in the other discussion.

I had an issue with most of the visualizers not working on Windows 10 (even though WebGL was working in Chrome). Pulsar Joy would work, but not the others.

Modifying the shortcut from the default switches to instead launch PlexAmp with the following switches got it to work:
Plexamp.exe --ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-gpu-rasterization
