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.

lyrics

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.

Ares Wizard - Retro Gaming

The Ares Wizard has had a few upgrades to bring more of what users demand, easy android installs and retro gaming being sought by many, so grab yourself a game controller and prepare to transform your android boxes in a few clicks, retro gaming is now on the Ares Wizard! Archive Logins Just before we delve into those updates, I also wanted to point out that Mr Dobson has figured out how to log into Archive via Kodi – this may make your eyes glaze over, so I’ll be brief; the high demand builds hosted on Archive recently hit a problem, where Archive forced logins to download – normally something of a bind from android boxes. Well if you create any account (even if you don’t actually use it) this login can be entered and this allows downloads from Archive – Ares is the ONLY Wizard to be able to do this. (take note Ares does NOT store this info, so you will have to key it in each time you are prompted to do so) Android Apps A few additional apps have been added...

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...

By the end of this article we will have answered the what, where, and how to install Kodi, along with a repository, and an add-on. You may or may not be aware; however, the community is ever changing especially in the recent 12 months.

This has made it tougher to find the reliable all-in-one build as your go-to builder could hang it all up. So our goal is for this guide to help you sit in the driver seat.

Deleting Old non-working URL's from File Manager

Deleting URL’s from File Manager We have all used the File Manager in Kodi to install different URL’s for various links to Repositories or Add-ons. Links become redundant for a number or reasons; however, the most common reason is abandonment by the developer. A perfect example is the TVA Fusion link, it became invalid and the link will no longer connect. Why remove the url links ? Keeping these URL links installed in File Manager is harmless, but keeping the file manager uncluttered is never a bad habit. Some of you may have typed the wrong url address by mistake. Instead of removing it right away, you just re-type the correct url address. I know how easy that is having done that myself on occasion. As a result, you have many duplicate sources in your File Manager section. The removal method is exactly the same for Jarvis & Krypton. Yet, I have combined photo examples for both just so you can follow along. While I was...
