Any idea to make it work on Windows?

any chance to compile on Windows?
Essentia looks multiplatform and also https://github.com/npisanti/ofxAudioFile could work as file loader maybe.

It can certainly be compiled on Windows. You'll need to compile first Essentia for Windows and probably that will be enough.
I don't use Windows pcs and honestly I'm not maintaining this addon very much anymore

Thanks for your addon @leozimmerman , and sorry to ask again here.

Just in case some one has any idea to compile the addon/essentia on Windows... will be appreciated.

I just downloaded the essentia.lib file from here:
MTG/essentia#330
moved to -> openFrameworks\addons\ofxAudioAnalyzer\libs\essentia\lib\vs\essentia.lib

I created with PG and opened the example-rmsInput.
Deleted the ofSoundPlayerExtended h/cpp files.

Compiled to Release/x64 and getting this errors:

Then I tried to replace the sources from libs
F:\essentia-2.1_beta5\src\essentia

Then I'm getting only like 22 errors, much less. But I am stuck.

I'll post here news if I get it working.

(I'll try to search better on how to compile essentia-2.1_beta5 by myself... maybe with Msys2/MinGW from Windows Crosscompile on Linux help info. )
