Hi all,

I was wondering what is needed to add karaoke support to Kodi Jarvis again.
I heard that it was hacked into several core function, which is not done anymore.

So my question is how to get it back into Kodi, conform to the Kodi standards.
I'm a developer so I could contribute if needed.

Thank you,

Support was removed in this pull request

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/8285

So basically you would need to create an addon with that code somehow.

@zag: Thanks for the pull request.

They are talking about a "AESource". Where can i find more information concerning this? A search on the forums didn't really give results.

When you are talking about "addon", you're not talking about python addons are you?
Where can I find more information about how to code this addon?

Thanks!

@jjd-uk: Indeed, I saw this one. Thanks for linking though.

i think most of the functionality can be implemented in a visualization addon. i would start from there, e.g.

Chiming in here..

I suppose the answer depends on what you mean by Karaoke.

There are many sources for Karaoke.
Mp3+g files (ripped CDG discs)
Youtube
Raw videos stored locally

Mikeys Karaoke addon is a youtube scraper of sorts but has its pros and cons.
I've been working on my own addon to use my personal library of CDG (mp3+g) files
But I've been contemplating whether even my approach is relevant in the modern times.

So, define what you want from a karaoke addon. Heck, even just searching youtube addon for karaoke + song name will give you a karaoke video.
