Settings, KJ, Scrolling message speed increase/decrease does not work. Also Number of Singers increase/decrease does not work.

Settings, display, Slideshow, slide duration does not affect the time that the current image is shown. The slides change on every singer regardless of the duration setting. I set it at 5999 but the images changed on every singer. Could they be linked to the start song button and not check the duration setting?

odd, i have not had these issues at all. has this only started since you upgraded to the new version? previous versions worked ok?

I ran 102 this last weekend all night without any issues except when I started the program. When I first started it the volume slider bar was down to 18%. This was the first time i started the program after down loading it. After making the adj on it I had no other issues. and when I restarted it it was right where it was when I shut it down.

They did not work on 1.2.100, 1.2.101 and 1.2.102. You can manually type in the fields but the up/down buttons do not increase or decrease. Not a show stopper by any means but do need them to work as expected. I do believe Piotr is aware of the issue. Are you saying you can increment number of singers with the up arrow on the field and your slides do not change on every singer?

my background images change in the allotted time i set, 20 seconds, with no problems.

I only want mine to change at about 10 minutes and I am pretty sure that if you set yours to 300 seconds they will change every time you change singers.

I would rather have it not change slides until the timer expired. Why would you want to change the background image during a song? At 20 seconds you are changing 9 slides in a 3 minute song. Background colors would change and could conflict with the color of the words on the screen unless you used all the same color slides. Slide duration is settable well above the length of a song (9999) approximately 2 hours 45 minutes.

I don't have a problem with it changing for every singer. I thought the slide duration could be settable at 600 seconds changing slides every 10 Minutes, maybe better documentation for this function and a upper limit 180 or so.

i use pictures from the previous week of the singers, they love to look for themselves and point out the goofy pics of their friends to everyone. if a color conflicts, i know it will be gone in 20 seconds (not that i have really had a problem with that) if it conflicts on 1 per song, i would have to restart the song to get a different picture.

That is a great idea, how do you categorize them or do you randomize the clips? What kind of camera do you use to capture the clips?

[hornet59]

Go to settings and click on display. In the middle of the display settings is a box titled background. On the right part of the display area click on add, then just navigate to the folder that you have pictures in it and add the pictures. Don't forget to select slideshow. Set the slide duration to whatever time you want "each slide" to be displayed. You can also check the random order box if you want Karaoke Pro to randomly display your pictures or you can leave it unchecked and your pictures will be displayed in the order that you have it.

As far as what type of camera, it doesn't matter as long as the pictures are digital.

exactly. i take the pics during the week. over the "weekend" i use http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm to batch convert them to a smaller size, between 70K and 100K like the default Siglos images are. then i put them all in 1 folder (for my purposes, "Robert Emmets Pics") and do what Hornet said to put them in. i check the random order box so every singer it shows the different pics in different orders.

List of bugs found because I want Siglos to be the best.

Settings, KJ, Scrolling message speed increase/decrease does not work.
Settings, Singers increase/decrease does not work.

Settings, Display, If camera is selected and no camera is present you cannot uncheck camera or select slideshow. The result is the cdg pages stack on top of each other and playback is slow. Music seems to play OK but slides are scrambled. Suggest make the camera selection available only if camera is present, if not(camera) slideshow is selected on startup.

That is the second time you misread my post. I stated clearly the increase/decrease did not work on either the number of singers and the scroll speed. I really think you are trying to help, are you an occasional user of Siglos or do you use it for hosting?
