Video Support!

[konbaasiang]

Howdy!

I know this question has been raised before, but I figured I'll throw my hat into the ring and say "me too!".

Silverjuke is an excellent piece of software, and having the SDK is awesome! Coin-op and other control features are very useful (and necessary).

However, Video support is a dealbreaker for me.

A friend of mine is starting a Karaoke Bar. I would really like build the jukebox based on SilverJuke. However, around here (Thailand), every single song is in VCD format. Karaoke Disks are available in every corner shop. It's a cultural thing (when Thais go to hang out with their friends, they do it at a karaoke bar) - and every disk is VCD with Video + Lyrics (burned into the image). Audio is Left=Instrumental and Right=Full Mix. Without video support, we just won't get the lyrics - or the video which people also expect.

I can't imagine Video Support being that difficult to implement, since you already have all the music management as well as visualizations already :).

In fact, if there was a way to implement video support through the SDK, I would do it that way, as opposed to reinventing the wheel and writing something from scratch (which I would have to do otherwise - it just will not work here without video.)

Thanks for listening :)

Hello Kon Baa Siang,

first: Welcome aboard!

To your request: Yes, we have heard your voice, (among others ), video support is also a topic here; maybe it will be implemented in one of the next update (however, not the upcoming).

Best regards,
Your Silverjuke Team

Thank you! I can't wait.

As soon as that's available, I think Silverjuke will be perfect for the job.

Until then, I guess I'll implement something myself.. Doesn't have to be complicated - if I settle for standard jukebox controls (a numeric keypad where you enter five digits after having put a coin in) it gets pretty simple, but I still get to computerize the whole thing including the audio path and all the video files.

Now to find a USB coin acceptor ;)...
