Hi Friends,
In previous post I write about the use of raspberry with wolfson pi. I talked about the usage of the wolfson.
If talking about the karaoke which is our main target the raspbian fails as I already said in my starting post. Whereas the RaspBMC provide lag free music and video playback which is our main motto. As we all use it as karaoke which means using raspberry pi as media device.
So according to my experience and point of view the RaspBMC is best solution for this.
So for this I first backup my Raspbian data and restored my RaspBMC image which used to backup earlier.
And again it was the awesome feeling while playing lag free media.
Again going through each setting of raspbmc I also found the karaoke option inside the RaspBMC settings option.
At this point I enabled the option but while playing .kar file it fails.
Looking for the solution on the internet I found to put the soundfont.sf2 file and a blank timidity in the timidity folder which is located in ~/.xbmc/userdata/
I do the same but still it fails to open midi files. Looking inside the error log I compared it with the XBMC windows version logs. I found that there is no line containing timidity in the RaspBMC error log.
Other than that the initial idea which I have planned is working.
I am still searching for the proper solution which may help in playing midi files in RaspBMC.
Otherwise I’ll come up with initial idea to use raspberry pi as fully controlled karaoke machine.
