SKP freeze...sort of

[Paradigm Karaoke]

do the names on the rotation actually move?
or do they stay where they were put, but it skips around?

if it's 1,2,3,4,5 does it change to 2,5,3,4,1
or do they stay in order and the software skips in that manner as if they WERE reordered?

Dana, I am working on this and will have a solution for you this week.

[Dana48457]

You guys rock!

[Piotr]

Dana, you may want to try this build:

We have added extra code to maintain rotation order, it should do the trick.

[Dana48457]

Playing again Friday will let you know how it works.

Version 2.0.65 is up. It should help with the rotation and should fix small things that were introduced with the visualizations.

[Dana48457]

Not sure about the visualization, but maybe some will like it, seems like a distraction to me most of my people don't even like the slide or video camera although they are cool feathers I doubt they get used much. Loaded and played with 65 and it seems to have helped rotation but won't know until Friday for sure when actually using it for a show. Thanks for the good work guys and fast service again.

Installed and tried out v65 today. The rotation problem seems to be fixed, but the visualization thing is not. When playing my karaoke songs without the visualization feature, everything played just fine. I turned on the visualization for the inactive background and the singer's monitor displayed about 75% of the screen. It's like the screen resolution is off. I had to use the task manager to shut KP down too. When I started it up again I got the "Siglos KP has stopped working" error message popup.

Piotr, I, like Paradigm will probably not use the visualization feature. Sorry to say but I think it would be better if you removed this feature. It is really distracting. This is just my opinion, someone else might use it for their show, but I don't think I will, but we appreciate your efforts.

[Dana48457]

Agree with Hornet!

[Paradigm Karaoke]

hang on guys, just because you and i won't use it, does not mean someone else wont.
the fact that we can CHOOSE to use it or not to me makes it a non-issue.
i'm a pro, so YouTube is off limits to me, but having the option for someone else is fine and another feature that may make someone else buy it.

Hornet, with not filling the whole screen, what resolution are you using?

[Piotr]

I think that custom singer announcements for singers are causing the issue currently. I will fix that today. And will modify the settings so visualizations are used by default for inactive background and disabled for songs (and users can adjust this to their liking).

I had several people praising visualizations, so it probably comes down to personal taste. But thank you very much for all input!

My laptop's resolution is 1920x1080

[Paradigm Karaoke]

a-ha...
i have not been able to get over 720 resolution from siglos.
though...even the HD mp4 karaoke is only 720 so no point is going higher.
try it at 720 and that should fix it.

have you been able to use 1080 resolution before?

[hornet59]

I've never had any problems with the resolution I'm using. But because I will probably not use the visualization I'm not too worried about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Paradigm Karaoke]

that's interesting, i have never been able to use 1080 because the singer screen only covers the top left of the screen. wonder what i'm doing wrong.
