don't know if this will help at all but if it is possible to port the xmms library over it will then compile into mplayer and you could support midi files using a xmms plugin.

the other thing that might help is lantus-x's libsdlx supports midi through the use of the timidity http://timidity.sourceforge.net/ as i've seen a few sdl ports to the xbox which have midi music in them using sound fonts.

personally i would love midi support, it'd top off xbmc for me so nicely. :lol:

hi everybody,

i've posted a reply a few weeks ago. one option to play karaoke files on your xbox is to convert the .cdg files to .mpg.
it's possible to convert these files with the following programm: cdg2vcd.exe

i converted one file and it's playing perfectly on my xbox!
like i said already in my previous reply, one thing you have to know is that the files will get a lot bigger approx. 30megs!!
just convert your favourite songs and burn them on one dvd!
have fun,

best regards,

claus

p.s. : of course i also would like to see a xbmc karaoke plugin, but for the time being this solution is fine!

hi,
first a big hand for xbmc, its gettin better and better...

now the feature suggestion
i just was wondering if its possible to get lyrics over the net like you can already get the album infos.
guess it would be a cool feature to read the lyrics of a song you listen to ...

i assume they could implement it if you could come up with a mega-source for lyric info that is on par with allmusic.com and imdb.com for music and movies repectively.

my idea was to collect the lyrics from different lyrics sites of the net, but since i dont have html experience i dont know how much work it is to filter the lyric-text from these sites.

i found a database on the net

http://www.leoslyrics.com

they did a winamp plugin for showing the lyrics of the song playing, for itunes somebody else created a plugin to. guess its possible (somehow) to do same in xbmc.

this doesn't really solve it.

i have about 300++ midi files which i want to play, each at about 25-100kb. if i convert them all to mp3's, they would take so much space and will need a lot of time encoding. then it defeats the purpose of having a midi file since you can't tranfer back to your pc and edit it on a midi editor.

..but if you have 10-20 files, converting them might not be a bad idea....

..still, a midi player would be great!

the program (karx) doesn't have a clear code, i have designed it to be a standalone program.

i have coded karx with sdlx.
