Use it

• Start xmms as usual (or for debuging reasons from the console by typing xmms - if this isnt anyway your usual methode to start xmms ;)).
• Rightklick in the xmms-window. A popup-menu should appear.
• Choose "Visualisierung" and then "Visualisierungs-Plugins". A Settings-Window should appear.
• Choose - if not already selected - the Tab "Visalisierungs-Plugins" in this Settings-Window.
• There should be a new entry "Blinken_XMMS [Blinken_XMMS.so]" within the list of "Visualisierungs-Plugins". Selected it by clicking on it.
• Activate the radio-button in the lower right corner of the Settings-Window labeld "Plugin verwenden" by clicking on it.
• Click the Configure-Button in the lower left corner of the Settings-Window labeld "Konfigurieren".
• A new Window "Blinken XMMS configuration" should appear now. Enter the IP and port of your blinkendevice or the host where your blinkensoftware (e.g. BlinkeLib or [[1]]) is runnin.
• Click "Ok" to close the Window "Blinken XMMS configuration" - if xmms is playing music right now your blinkendevice should already receive blinken-frames :)
• Click "Ok" to close the Settings-Window.

Optional:

• enjoy the new blinkenstream
• give us feedback :-)
