SKP 2.4.6 scrolling message stutter

Post by Paradigm Karaoke »

The scrolling message will be fine then after about 10 seconds it will begin stuttering so it's almost unreadable, then after another 5 seconds or so it goes back to smooth and repeat. the timer and the lyrics do not have this issue and work smoothly even during the stutter. i tried to capture it on video but it just doesn't show what i'm seeing.

I am not sure what is going on... Please try this one:

If the problem persists please send me the log from this version.

I used this version last night on another PC. I see you added Smooth Wiping as a setting. Something broke the Shadow feature on Solid Color background. Please see attached. It's not a big deal as we usually don't have shadows enabled on the rare occasion of using the Solid Color (like when a background and lyrics colors are too close so need to do a quick swap) But the artifacts and the black line are really distracting.

Oh, thanks for the heads up! We will fix this, but you can always switch to gradient, which should work fine.

Gradient didn't change the Black Bar on the right. It's not a big deal to us, but just wanted to make sure anyone else that uses the software that way isn't gonna have problems.

I did notice "Smart Resolution" is cutting off the graphics in that black bar zone. I'll try to get more examples at the show, but I can't just pause a song while someone is singing haha. This was confirmed turning it on and off during the song.

i'm not having the lyrics problem B-Side is having, the new smooth swipe is very nice, almost looks mp4.
the scrolling message is still jittery during karaoke on and off. i'm trying to get a video of it. i'll send a log directly.

OK, so this one should fix both issues:

Please let me know if it works.

This version has additional parameter in Scrolling Message settings that allows to set the refresh rate in miliseconds. Please see if that makes any difference.

Also maximum internal resolution for CD+G is now adjustable. It improves the quality of CD+G display, but may cause slowdown on older machines.
