This is usually down to missing codes, installing http://www.powerkaraoke.com/src/download-codec.php or enabling 'Force FFDShow' in KJ cont. should make this work.

I also noticed that when I start KP the fillin volume is louder than it should be. If I move the volume handle just a bit the volume will reduce to the proper sound level. It's as if when KP starts the volume is loud even though the volume slider is set at 15. This looks like the problem Piotr fixed a few versions ago.
This is one thing that is creeping me out, I have fixed this and have no idea why it might be not working. WIll dig some more.

Sorry Piotr, I installed the codec but it's still a no-go. Using a YouTube song only plays on my singer's display. My singer screen preview still only shows the announcement screen. Am I the only one experiencing this problem?

On a happy not, the visualization for the inactive background is now working like it should. No more "unregistered" banner floating around.

Currently 640x480. But it will be user-selectable, we will add support for HD videos soon.

Can you email me a log of playing video that does not have preview?

Playing with .66 version this morning and found that if I have inactive background visualization checked that it works well for the back ground when no songs are in cue but if I have songs in cue then it still is showing on the singer announcement screen. I would think that the only time it should be showing is when there is no singer or no announcement screen for a singer showing and also when I am at the last song and the visualization is running and I close the program it comes up showing that the program had to close and will check for solution. but not showing a log when opened again. ???? Would be nice if there was a way to turn the Visualization on and off to override announcement screen, when we take a break and playing music but still have singers in cue and an announcement screen showing they are next.

Dana, there is an option in KJ cont. settings to control this. If you disable 'Overlay fill-in videos and visualizations with singer annoucement' then singer announcements will not appear on top of visualizations.

That took care of that issue thanks. Is there a way to have the visualization to come on when using fill in music and over ride the singer announcement screen with just the Visualization on while playing fill in music. and back to the Announcement screen when no fill in music is playing or better yet, have a place to select Turn on Visualization only no announcement screen for between sets, then uncheck it when ready to start the next set and show announcement screen with out Visualization. Have this box on the playlist screen! Would be great for between sets. Still getting shut down error but got a log this time will mail it to you.

The error when shutting down is probably caused by switching betweend visualizations in Settings, I need to investigate this as I suspect visualization DLL (which is third party) to be the reason.

And as of visualizations -- if there are no singers in queue, visualizations should appear even with 'Overlay fill-in videos and visualizations with singer annoucement' disabled.

Thanks Piotr, that achieved what I was wanting to get. a little work but it gets the job done. Would be nice if sometime in the future there could be a check box in add singer page that did it just by a ck or un-ck But you are the man and I look forward to working on in new updates to help you in any way I can.

I love the feature to save your settings in v67.1. Now I won't have to take screen shots of my settings when a new version has more settings added. Thanks Piotr, I didn't think of requesting that feature but I love it!
