Hi folks,

can someone point me to the docs/api/etc... so i can start reading to make a plugin?

what i want to do is this;
1. index all my karaoke videos
2. store it in the db (sqlite) (index, vocal_audio_track, song name, etc..)
3. queue the songs into a playlist via list selection or by index number
4. when a video start playing it'll switch the audio track as specified by the vocal_audio_track
5. when a video is currently playing - songs can be added via remote by index

any tips would be greatly appreciated

cheers

easiest is to monkey what's already out there

Don't we already have native support for karaoke ?
Yes all of that is possible (with the possible exception of number 4, you'll just have to figure that one out ) but it'll be harder than your average scrap & play plugin.

rwparris2 - yes sort of, but it's midi/cdg/mp3...the karaoke songs that i have are avi/mkv video based with 2 audio tracks in it. i guess a good starting point is to extend the existing karaoke functionality and all i really have to do is step 4.
