Hi Dustin,
Can you see if creating a new composition from a Music Visualizer
template, and saving it into ~/Library/Compositions will work?
Compliance to a protocol includes both having the right inputs/outputs
and also checking the box in menu Editor > Edit Protocol
Conformance... You may have complied with the inputs but it won't know
it's a Music Visualizer unless you check the box. Likewise if you
removed any required inputs.
When Styx is the selected visualizer and running in iTunes with music
playing, can you get your composition to play in the Quartz
Composer.app editor?
If any of those don't work, we'll need to figure out why. I just tried
it on Leopard and it seemed to be working.
Thanks,
Troy

does anyone have any experience with this ? i have read up on some
of the documentation. i have conformed to the apples visualizer
protocol and placed my quartz file in system>library>compositions
etc. my patch will not show up in itunes. i have tried placing the
same patch in my user and HD library as well still no go. i am able
to open the patch in .qtz then open itunes and turn the visualizer
on and get a audio file to control my patch from itunes. this is ok
for testing but not how it is supposed to work i think. im not sure
cause i can't get it to work so i am just speculating. when i have
an itunes standard visualizer and a quartz file running at the same
time my frame rate drops considerably. is there something i am
missing.
i have tried 2 simply open up apples visualizer example "lathe" that
shows up in iTunes and save it as another name "lathe2" but even
"lathe2" will not show up in itunes. i have been waiting for 3 weeks
to get my new macbook pro that is maxed, which surley will give me a
better frame rate than the macbook i am using at the moment but
still shouldn't i just be able to view my .qtz file in iTunes ? is
there some kind of other apple protocol that i am missing ? i havent
done a clean install in a few years and have upgraded from tiger to
leopard 10.5.5 (really just to use the leopard Quartz) i did this
mainly to experiment with visualizer stuff and to use a few kineme
plugins that don't work on tiger.
im thinking this has to be simple. im not trying to sell or publish
a visualizer package/ plugin i simply want to be able to view
my .qtz in iTunes as a visualizer the same way as apples examples.
im either missing a simple step or something is maybe messed up with
my computer.
