I wanted to set up XBMC to play karaoke files. I followed the wiki here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_setup_XBMC_for_Karaoke#MIDI_playback
So I downloaded the soundfont file from http://www.geocities.jp/shansoundfont/, unzipped the file, renamed the .sf2 file to soundfont.sf2, then copied that file to dotXBMC/system/players/paplayer/timidity in my usb.
Then I rebooted into my usb, but when I tried to play the .kar files, nothing happened.
I also tried creating dotXBMC/userdata/advancedsettings.xml with the following content but it didn't help:
Here is the content of xbmc.log. The content is long and there is a 10000 chars restriction in this forum that prevents me from posting the whole file. So here i extracted the lines i think are relevant and posted here. If you want more, just tell me.
Many thanks.
