.CDG Karaoke-files support for music

the only problem for your friend will be that the public cvs is down atm.
you can grab the latest sourcecode here --> http://www.xboxmediacenter.de/files/xbmc...-08-04.rar

just compiled the latest cvs source and tried out the cdg plugin is i must say that i love it!! all we need now is microphone or communicator support!!

argh, just need to be more patient ^__^

woot thx!

cdg player is very good. frooze up on me a couple times. esspiecally during image heavy cdgs. also i noticed that if you go from one song and try to play another one while the other is playing.. the xbox freezes :/

it is possible that it doesn't read correctly cdgs with scrolling commands cause i don't have any and couldn't test that part of the code. however it should display a garbled screen at worst and not crash. can you tell me more about the crash?
was the image supposed to scroll before it crashed? does it occur always at the same time for a certain cdg? is it at the beginning of playback or at the end?

if you can select another song then i assume you're in the music files listing and this means the visualisation is inexistent ( the vis is created and destroyed with the x button) so i don't think that can be a problem with this vis.
try the same with another vis to see if it still crashes.

the ones which were image heavy were using scrolling for its intro. if you would like that cdg just pm me on irc.


i tried the massive button pressing when it freezes .. next time ill try to do the x trickand wait. i dont know why but i think it was just a freak freeze on the acutal music thing.

i love this better than burning cdgs which is a massive bitch. rock on. :kickass:

the .cdg with scrolling at the beginning. acdc-backinblack it plays about 1/9th of the time

hey stcogoli, did you get your xbox communicator yet?

i tested it and wasn't able to freeze it the way you described. how often does it occur? keep me posted if it freezes again (on a non-scrolling cdg). in the meatime, i will try to fix the scrolling.

nope, should get it soon but it will take some time to implement. will post progress but dont hold your breath...

mracer, it turns out the acdc crash wasn't caused by the scrolling. the cdg display size is 300x216 but this cdg contains one subcode that tries to write past 216. i have added more robust boundschecking and it doesn't crash anymore. i think this cdg got corrupted when extracted from the audio cd because there is one writing command which seems to be missing from the stream,( i.e. the white square at the bottom of the intro screen is probably the subcode which got corrupted and is now ignored by the parser).

this allowed me to test the scrolling code anyway and it turns out it was buggy. so i fixed the scrolling and also it now uses the overscan settings for video playback so you can now pan and scan the display instead of using a default hardcoded value.

i have uploaded these changes to sourceforge but they have closed my patch now that it's in the cvs so i don't know if it's available to others. can anybody tell me how i can modify my patch once it's been closed?
