To Do List

Karaoke for DirectX is constantly changing and progressing, below is the list of things yet to do. If you want to add something to the wish list, please don't hesitate to send a message, it is very important for us to know your opinion

If you like this project and want to contribute you are welcome! Currently we are searching for someone knowing Arabic or Hebrew well enough to test and clean support for RTL karaoke.

Common Part

• Support for playlists in WMP
• Neat registering with WMP while installing
• Pre-installation checks for previous versions of KaraokeDX and for presence of DirectX runtime
• Multi-language UI
• Exhaustive user documentation
• Live karaoke streaming
• Hush audio stream of the video running in the background
• Dynamic pin reconnection and dynamic changing of settings
• Seeking support with VMR9

The support for playlists in WMP is the most important thing to do today, however, I don't know how it can be done. If you know something, please, send me a message and reveal the secrets!

CD+G Karaoke Filter

• Seeking optimizations (remembering "key" frames to avoid replaying from the very start on seeking, smart seeking forward)

MIDI/LRC Karaoke Filter

• RTL support (Arabic/Hebrew)
• Support for guitar chords embedded into .kar files
• Passing song meta information to WMP
• Tempo control and appropriate support
• Remembering charsets for songs
• Property pages for karaoke-to-video transform filter
• When background is a video clip, it is necessary to set up frame size equal to the clip size.
• Configurable outline thickness
• MIDI-to-wave transform filter (software synthezier)
• Optimization of text rendering. Avoid using Uniscribe at show time
