Hi Ken,
Sounds excellent, you're bringing it forward significantly. Over the years
lots of people have hoped we would add features for professional KJ use.
Is it still suitable for home use with the new version or should we split
it into two modes (home / KJ)?
Best,
Kelvin.

Hi Conor,
I wouldn't rule it out but it seems unlikely because PyKaraoke itself
is pure Python. Once you disable the C-optimised CDG player, the rest
of PyKaraoke is all Python. My money is on SDL/Pygame or some change
they have made to an API which has broken software using old APIs.
How comfort
I'm on Ubuntu here so haven't been doing this myself. I'd advise
trying to find an RPM with MP3 support (is it possible that Fedora
actually includes MP3 support in the library these days anyway?)
Thanks,
Kelvin.

Could be: did you download the SDL_mixer sources and build them
yourself? Could be a version mismatch or similar. The instructions for
building that were written quite some time ago and something could
have changed.

Hi Conor,
There is only one C module used in PyKaraoke (for optimised CDG
playback). It would be nice to rule this out first: please could you
open the PyKaraoke Configuration menu and turn off Optimised C-based

Anyway, the format's pretty simple, so generating the final output
isn't too hard. It's coming up with what to show in the first place
that's the challenge :) It basically just means coming up with a
decent palette (fairly easy), picking a readable but fast-to-display
font, and timing things so th
Oh, it's definitely better, It's not perfect, but it's imperfect in a
substantially less annoying way. :-)
This is good news. If I get the chance tomorrow I'll split the screen up
into more tiles and maybe we can squeeze some more performance out.
I'd be interested to hear how the new versi

pygame.transform.scale() at update-time which does all the scaling for
you. I'm not aware of any pygame featur
