Hi,

Trying to get visualization behind the karaoke lyrics.

Created a advancedsetting.xml and the background is remove, I also tried with video which works well.
But when I change to <defaultbackground type="vis" /> nothing is show behind the lyrics only black.
Runs with the default theme so it should be a skin issue. Tried different visualizations all work if you press tab while playing a karaoke song.
This is on Kodi 14.2

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<karaoke>
  <!-- Music-lyrics delay for CDG format lyrics in SECONDS. Floating number, may be negative. -->
  <syncdelaycdg>0.0</syncdelaycdg>
  <!-- Music-lyrics delay for LRC format lyrics in 1/10 seconds. Floating number, may be negative. -->
  <syncdelaylrc>0.0</syncdelaylrc>
  <!-- If set to true, when the songs are added to the library, XBMC will automatically replace the song genre by "Karaoke"
    if the song has associated lyrics. Default is false. -->
  <alwaysreplacegenre>true</alwaysreplacegenre>
  <!-- If set to true, when the music-lyrics delay was modified while playing using subtitle delay buttons, the delay value
    for this song will be stored, and restored when the song is played next time. Default is true. -->
  <storedelay>true</storedelay>
  <!-- When karaoke songs are added to the library during scans, an autoincrement number is automatically assigned
to each song, starting from the value specified below. Default starts from 1. -->
  <autoassignstartfrom>1</autoassignstartfrom>
  <!-- If set to true (default), the background for CDG songs is always empty (plain color) no matter what setting is set in
    defaultbackground below. When setting this to false, then one can see through the background and see the video or
    visualization.-->
  <nocdgbackground>false</nocdgbackground>
  <!-- Sets default background mode. Type could be "none", "vis" for visualisation, "image" or "video".
    For image/video types the "path" parameter should specify the image or video file to play. -->
  <defaultbackground type="vis" />
  <!-- If non-zero, specifies the time in seconds left before the end of the current song when a window will pop up informing you
    about the next played song. The window does not pop up if there is no next song, or it is not a karaoke song -->
  <nextsongpopuptime>0.0</nextsongpopuptime>
</karaoke>
</advancedsettings>

Here's some from the log:
