Unless I am doing something wrong I still dont get any change no matter what the value is for <karaokesyncdelay></karaokesyncdelay> in advancedsettings.xml

If you use the latest SVN, the karaoke settings are now in a separate group. Advanced settings. Note the "karaoke" section.

Upped 17445

Using 17445, any attempt to play .kar files produces following errors:

its not karaoke related problem, you simply doesnt have midi set up properly

Thank you,
my bad, should have read manual to the end

so how does this work, i have a MP3 track and a cdg file, do i need to set anything in XBMC

I added a source in the music, but it only plays the MP3?

I have just discovered this thread, and would be great to get this working

Sorted, installed Jesters SVN and enabled the Karaoke setting, wow did not know this existed.

White blank screen bug submitted in bugtrac.

http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5816

Lets hope that this can be fixed, this bug is holding me back from being able to use the karaoke feature.

[oldnemesis]

I'll need someone who can reproduce this bug and could recompile the code, as there is no white screen on any of my PCs.

[black88mx6]

Could you please try the following:

- open file xbmc/CdgParser.cpp in text editor (preferably not Word )
- go to line 425
- You will see the following piece of code:

Code:

m_bgAlpha = 0;
  if (g_guiSettings.GetString("mymusic.visualisation").Equals("None"))
    m_bgAlpha = 0xff000000;
  m_fgAlpha = 0xff000000;

Delete two lines in the middle, making it look like this:

Code:

m_bgAlpha = 0;
  m_fgAlpha = 0xff000000;

save the file, and recompile. If it doesn't fix it, please file a bug in trac. If it does, let me know.

This still the code needed to be tested? I will see what I need to compile CdgParser.cpp, or if someone could compile and send to me to test?

let me know if its needed, I can compile it if you want.

[oldnemesis]

This code is in xbmc/karaoke/karaokelyricscdg.cpp line 97

[black88mx6]

This code is in xbmc/karaoke/karaokelyricscdg.cpp line 97

i could use a compile of this to test.

I can also confirm white screen issue if visualization is set to None (rev. 17341)
But it only affects mp3+g files, kar files play fine.

Here is another issue using rev.17541: kar/midi is broken
Text shows up on a screen but no music playing.
