let me know if its needed, I can compile it if you want.

If this code is in place, how do I go about requesting a compile?

I can also confirm white screen issue if visualization is set to None (rev. 17341)
But it only affects mp3+g files, kar files play fine.

OS, video hardware/drivers?
I wonder if anyone has this issue using Linux with NVidia or ATI proprietary drivers, as that's the only thing I have and I cannot reproduce this issue.

Here is another issue using rev.17541: kar/midi is broken
Text shows up on a screen but no music playing.

Generally if text shows up, the music is playing. Try to increase the volume, some MIDI files are very quiet. If it doesn't, please report in trac, and provide the MIDI file.

This code is in xbmc/karaoke/karaokelyricscdg.cpp line 97

So make the following code changes on line 97 of xbmc/karaoke/karaokelyricscdg.cpp to test this out?

Code:
m_bgAlpha = 0;
if (g_guiSettings.GetString("mymusic.visualisation").Equals("None"))
m_bgAlpha = 0xff000000;
m_fgAlpha = 0xff000000;Delete two lines in the middle, making it look like this:


Code:
m_bgAlpha = 0;
m_fgAlpha = 0xff000000;

Bump to get more help on this. It seems that the problem may be related to ATI video cards/drivers and the CDG function of XBMC. Anyone out there have ATI cards that can build/troubleshoot this?

Bugtrac here

After rewriting karaoke module into using stardard windowmanager-based architecture (before it was kinda a hack over visualization window) this bug was constantly reproduced, and supposed to be fixed in rev 17732. Please check

The problem is fixed. Works fine now on my ATI cards under windows. Thanks for your work on this.

Hey, I've been meaning to ask about this, and I'd try it myself if I had any CD+G files, but how difficult would it be to have video overlay with this? I saw a guy doing bar karaoke with a HTPC, and he had quite the ghetto rig to do it with, using crappy windowed mode so that the video played on half the screen, then he had a really ugly CD+G player that showed the text on the other half of the screen.

This reminded me that XBMC had(s) CD+G support, and seeing this post reminded me to ask if it would be possible to play the music video w/o sound and then have the CD+G show the lyrics?

It Looks like kar/midi playback is completely broken in latest Rev.17906 build
Doesn't play at all with error message:

Plays fine on Linux with 17908. What button did you press? CApplication::FrameMove() has nothing with KAR files.

I thought it's a Windows related forum.
And I indicated at the bottom of my post my config (WinXP SP3, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M )
Same problem with 17908 on Windows no matter wich button I press 'Enter' or 'P'.

Well, I do not use Windows, so I cannot test it. Anyone else has the same problem?

I have a modded xbox with xbmc SVN_2009-02-18_rev17820-T3CH I don't be able to reading midi/kar file. I have tried with SGM-180 soundfont as written in http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO:_...or_karaoke but it doesn't work. Can someone help me? Thanks.

The changes are done in linuxport branch only. To be available on xbox, they need to be backported, which is likely not to happen soon, if ever. I know very little about xbox, but if what I heard about its hardware configuration (733MHz cpu and 64Mb of RAM) is true, it will not be able to play software synthezed MIDIs using soundfonts anyway, as the estimated hardware minimum for most MIDI files would be something like Athlon XP 1800+ and 256Mb RAM.

r18000 (wow!) has video playback added. Very alpha at this moment, and only configurable through advancedsettings.xml. Check wiki.
