GLSL Gaussian Blur shader?

[unfa]

The integrated video:fx:blur is not GPU accelerated (but it works in the Software rendering mode).
I guess most people doing live visuals have GLSL capable hardware to run it on.
it also looks rather crusty, two passes deliver a bit smoother results, but still far from perfect.

Is there a GLSL Gausian Blur component somewhere to use with PraxisLIVE?
Would it be a good idea to include it with the PXG package available on the main site?
Maybe even shipping it with the base PraxisLIVE package?

I tried using some exisiting fragment shaders, but I was unable to get any of them to work with PraxisLIVE - my knowlege of GLSL is very limited.

The video:fx:blur is a fast software box blur. It's more useful for doing image analysis than output. It would be nice to get a gaussian blur in there. At the moment, this is slightly limited as the existing shader components can't support multiple passes, although you could chain them. Have you a link to the one your were trying?

This is based on one from Processing. Not sure it's working quite as expected?!

I see.
I was looking also at this one:
