Nothing happens on OS X

Seemed to install fine after cloning the repo and entering "./install.sh" and the config file is in the right place. I have mpd+ncmpcpp working fine, and my mpd.conf contains the fifo output lines.

Any idea?

Could you paste the output of which vis?

[WatermelonDriveway]

/usr/bin/vis

[dpayne]

Can you try running it from the build folder directly. ./build/vis

[WatermelonDriveway]

When I run it with just 'vis', it looks like it's hanging waiting for something (still displaying my original prompt), but when I run it directly from the build folder, it does remove my prompt from the terminal as if trying to display something. I can post screenshots if that isn't descriptive enough

I believe you're running into this issue https://github.com/dpayne/cli-visualizer#vis-hangs-with-no-output , basically it's a naming conflict with another program. The new issue (remove the prompt but still nothing), is most likely a config issue. For mpd the vis config should have the lines

audio.sources=mpd
mpd.fifo.path=/tmp/mpd.fifo

[WatermelonDriveway]

Issue solved.. awesome. audio.sources was set to pulse, and both of those two lines you just sent were both commented off by default in the config, which I didn't notice.

Thanks!
