Enabling Lyrics in Krypton from your Personal Music Files

Krypton has Lyrics for My Music ?

Did you know you could enable Lyrics in Krypton ? Absolutely ! Once you have enabled your personal music files turn your Kodi Krypton into your own Karaoke Machine!

Occasionally when researching information for these articles, we come across something that makes you stop and think. While working on recent Blog on how to add your personal music files to krypton. (link) I stumbled across an Icon that seemed strange and out of place really. Something that I have never seen before.

So here I was checking out the results of adding my Music Files for a blog, I happened to notice this new Icon. (see photo above) Due to being so curious I selected it to see where it would take me. Keep in mind before returning to the main home page, I had already selected a song to play. As shown in the top right corner, ♫ Fool In The Rain ♫ by Led Zeppelin.

Locating Lyric Icon

What do I see ! the Krypton Music Player! Now in my defense, I don’t use this option in Krypton at all. My use is primarily Movies and TV Shows to say I was surprised is an understatement. As a result, noticing another group of new Icons consequently set my OCD in overdrive ! So lets see what these represent. Besides the usual the Play/Stop/Pause etc. we have 5 more Icons in the bottom right corner. Starting from Left and going Right, here is a brief description of each Symbol :

–Star Icon– when selected allows you to rate the music file current playing. This would be used if you only wish to play “Rated” music from your files.

–Single Arrow– is the Repeat feature. In this example it is disabled, click on it to enable the different Repeat options available.

–Double Arrow– Random Play, as described, this will randomly play any Music File.

–Rectangular Voice Balloon– or Lyrics. (this is why this Blog came about, Curiosity !)

–Cog Wheel– Settings, select this to open the settings page. More information below will explain the contents.

Adjusting Lyric Settings

Selecting the Cog Wheel Icon a new window will appear, Photo A. Select Lyric Add-on if you wish to enable this feature.
In Photo B it will be blank for you, but being curious (OCD) I clicked on Get More. The only option available was CU LRC Lyrics, once selected it appeared as shown above.

lyrics

Photo A- Once Lyrics is enabled, go back to the previous page. Now when you select the Settings Icon, a new listing -Lyrics and Add-on Settings – will be available.

Photo B- Scrapers- This reveals both the Synchronized and Regular Lyric scrapers listed. The choice is purely personal, I left mine intact.

Photo C- Options- The only one I found to be of any interest was the the first option. Display Lyrics Automatically. This can be set as I have or disabling it will allow Lyrics to appear only by you the user. Ultimately the choice is yours.

Photo D- Expert- Self explanatory, if the lyrics are off-sync, this can be resolved by adjusting the Time Offset as needed.

Viewing the Lyrics

There you go! Fool In The Rain, by Led Zeppelin. Photo A shows the beginning of the song. The two Arrows indicate where the song is currently and will drop down to the next sentence just before the current lyric is finished. Photo B shows the same result further along the song.

Here’s a final example of “Just Came Back” by Colin James. Photos A & B show exactly how the progression of each sentence of the Lyric as the song plays.

IN CONCLUSION

In Conclusion, this was the most interesting articles I have done so far only because I was surprised at what I found and it’s uniqueness. There are other Add-ons that have Karaoke, but it’s nice to know this is a built in feature for those of you who enjoy using that type of add-on.
How can this be used? This would be a great feature to use when having a Party or at Christmas singing Carols just to name a few. Has Elvis left the Building ?
I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did discovering this unique (at least to me) feature in Kodi Krypton. Please feel free to join us in the Streaming World Forum.

Changing the Movie Icon Size in Krypton/Jarvis

What is a Movie Icon ? Movie Icon is a general term used to describe the Fan-art of a Movie/TV Show in a Video Add-on. Such as Placenta, Elysium or Death Streams to name a few. Many also call it Thumbnails because it is a small version of a Poster of a Movie/TV Show. All Devs utilize these Icons to give those using their Add-ons a visual aid of what each Movie/TV Show appears as. So you sit down with the Family to watch a movie. But wouldn’t it be nice to just see what movies there are in a larger Icon like you seen in a Poster. Especially for the little ones who can’t read but certainly recognize a Favorite Character of theirs. To be honest even some the “Older Kids” eyesight could use a break from squinting I’m sure,present company included. Here are a few easy steps that will allow you to view a Icon or enable Thumbnail view. For this article a “clean” version of Krypton 17.3 was used with the Estuary Skin. Jarvis 16.1 version was used with the Pulse Build and Xonfluen...

Click Here: Kodi Add-on by SkyDarks

Click Here is one of the newest Fork and it has a very clever name. Invoking you to just “click here” to get all the movies and tv shows you could ever want. This add-on doesn’t have any of the “extras” that some of the other forks have; however, it does work nicely. Click Here has all the sames features you enjoyed in Covenant including the ability to add Trakt and Debrid accounts. I like that the developer Swiper kept it close to the original and just changed up some artwork. Click Here: Current version of this addon is 1.0 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help. You can unblock many “dns censored” sources with a smartdns solution If you use p2p add ons, torrents, or in countries that prohibit streaming use a vpn from a reputable provider like Private Internet Access .

TV Addons - Crypto Mining Hack

If you have been using Kodi third party addons for any length of time, you cannot have missed the controversy that always seems to surround TV Addons and the antics of its owner, Adam Lackman. In recent history there have been a number of high profile repo “hacks” and if you think back a little further, there was the DDOS hidden in the popular Exodus add-on. TV Addons Hack & Virus History Exodus DDOS “bot” So if you dont recall TV Addons hugely popualr Exodus add-on had some code added to it to DDOS attack. This was in response to a clone or fork of the addon that TVA took exception against. This seems rather bizarre given the amount of forks that are flying around now! Here is a link to that article. Exodus Botnet We did remove a lot of the post – but heres some links showing the code and how it was added; Exodus DDOS code Target of DDOS TVA & Indigo Repo Hijacks So lets review the repo hijacks – hotly denied, but who else has a v...

Pron.tv, The New Alternative to Alluc.ee ? Part 2.

Pron.tv What is an API Code and in addition how will Pron.tv enhance my search results in Kodi. First of all, lets explain what an API Code is : Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. An application programming interface key ( API key ) is a code passed in by computer programs calling an application programming interface (API) to identify the calling program, its developer, or its user to the Web site. Pron.tv Add-on List As a result of following Part 1 , it was necessary to provide a List of Current Add-ons that have Pron.tv in their list of Scrapers. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of Add-ons with pron.tv while doing my research. I will give a brief descript...
