OK, great - thanks Kelvin. I'm not familiar with Python but I have used other languages and I wouldn't mind learning a bit of Python - I believe it's the recommended language for the Raspberry Pi... I'll report back with an update in case anyone's curious - but it may be a little while as I am bu

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've done lots of testing and I'm pretty sure it's not SDL_mixer's fault. My guess is that it is a bug in the 64-bit pykaraoke - I'm not sure how to confirm this or how to track it down though - anybody else use 64-bit (Fedora [18] specifically)? Conor

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. On 29 May 2013 12:55, Conor Dowdall wrote: > Yes, I downloaded SDL_mixer-1.2.12.ta

Yes, I downloaded SDL_mixer-1.2.12.tar.gz from their website and configured with mp3 support. After tinkering around for a while I noticed that if I first remove the Fedora rpm (actually rpm-sphere) $ sudo rpm -ev --nodeps SDL_mixer-1.2.12-3.fc18.x86_64 and then configure; make; make install my d

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. On 28 May 2013 17:32, Conor Dowdall wrote: > No luck there Kelvin.. thanks for t

The biggest hint I see in the backtrace is: /lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0(Mix_OpenAudio+0x8d)[0x3af1e09b8d] you can see that function here: http://sdl.beuc.net/sdl.wiki/Mix_OpenAudio I'm not really familiar with any of this, but I'd guess the wrong audio output is being opened, or it is being opened

No luck there Kelvin.. thanks for the suggestion. I see it starts with libc in the backtrace and moves on to libSDL_mixer... did I somehow mess up the SDL install with mp3 support???... I'm not too familiar with how backtraces work! Conor. *** glibc detected *** python: double free or corruptio

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 Implementation under the CDG tab? Thanks, Kelvin. On 27 May 2013 21:09, Conor Dowda

eeek... password changed... thanks!! it is a fresh install with a fully wiped home directory. I installed it by compiling manually at first - which resulted in the exact same problem.. this was before I realised that Fedora actually has a .rpm in a yum repository. It is the latest version

Hi, I've used pykaraoke on previous insallations, but on my Fedora 18 (64 bit) install it is not working. I've pasted the crash information below. The GUI loads properly, but when I try to play a song the usual song window pops up and moments later crashes. I love pykaraoke, so any help would be
