I have been exploring XBMC's Karaoke capabilities, and love it. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and XBMC Dharma, and have written a script that (rather messily) allows my microphone to be patched into my main output with no delay).
My concern seems rather simple - I had about 1600 songs in my database, and exported them to csv format, then imported them into excel on my laptop and printed off two lists - sorted by artist and by song name. I then added about 75 songs to the database, which XBMC recognized and added to the database. I again exported to csv format, only this time there were only 75 songs exported - just the new songs.
Is there an intentional feature causing this, or a way to make XBMC export the whole library every time?
Oddly enough, a month ago when I was starting out, exporting the database only exported the old songs, not newly-added songs - despite seeing these songs in xbmc's database. I subsequently deleted my whole xbmc database and re-scanned the library. (I have my karaoke songs in a separate portfolio from my general media). This seems like the opposite from the problem I'm currently experiencing, and I'm not 100% sure that I was finding the updated, rather than an old file, though the version date seemed to indicate it should have been the recent version.
Thanks!
