oh i see, that makes more sense :nuts: but i suspect it would be more difficult to implement cause you might need two instances of mplayer (one for sound, one for video) and i'm not sure if that could be easily achieved. or maybe we could somehow hijack the sound output of a single video instance...

hi,

just wanted to say first of all that the karaoke function has come a long way since it first started out and is amazing now in terms of basic functionality so big thank you to you man for starting all this off.

i was re-reading the whole thread and from my point of view things like adding a mic can be done by buying a cheap mixer etc - it would be fantastic to emulate what the really expensive karaoke players do by allowing you to have a video file running in the background - doesn't have to be in sync at all but it looks amazing when the words come up on screen over some randomly playing video. the visualisations are nice and all but can get quite annoying for karaoke (yup the altnernative is to switch them off which i've done   )

amazing all round addition to xbmc and erm i wouldn't be asking about point 2 except the wife made me and erm she's a red-head haha :nuts:.. oh and yeah i know it's really easy to ask for things so i don't have any expectations - if it's can be done - fantasitc - if not erm it's still fantastic :bowdown:

just a little warning;

ahhhh.....

mmm maybe someone else might "see" this and think "hey i could do that..."

cheers for sorting the auto-play issue though it's made a huge difference....

i got now a mic from ebay and i have to say that the karaoke on the xbox is great :thumbsup:

i have some mpg video files with lyrics integrated. when i start the video file, the mic is not activated! it happens also with a karaoke dvd.

is it possible to activate the mic when playing a video file / dvd?

i just finished updating my xbmc to the 6/6 build. noticed that the delay setting was taken out.

as for the cdg visualization not following the mp3 between tracks - the code changes that were done have improved the problem but not fixed it entirely. the cdg used to be stuck on the previous song (bad for screen burn-in! while the mp3 continued to the next track, however now the cdg disappears but while the mp3 starts up on the next track the cdg doesn't start up. still requires 2 consecutive "display" button pushes on the remote to bring up the graphics.

we are getting there though!

create a bugpost on sf.

hello. i have just tried the cdg function of xbmc and it's wonderful.
though there are some bugs.

yeah if the mic could be enabled with videos too, it would be great.

that's the bug i was refering to. i hope it will be fix soon because it's not possible to make any playlist or to let the xbox play the mp3 in random or normal mode. i have to hit the stop button of the remote, and select the song.

is there a possibility to ad some pics in the background like in the programm http://www.karafun.com? or maybe a possibility to change the color of the background?

i think thats possible, but we are in feature freeze, so post your request in the "feature suggestions" topic and wait until the 2.0 release.

sollie.

ok thank you, i will do so!
