Just wanted to announce the release of the DJ media player sister project. It
is ready in an alpha state. You can find the code at: http://kap.nongnu.org .
Look forward to your comments and suggestions. It currently only supports the
use of MPlayer, but it will eventually support many more players.

No screenshots; we gotta actually build it to see what it looks like, huh?

:-)

I wondered "Why is that Frisbee getting bigger?" And then it hit me.

It is more as a month ago that you have posted this, so
I thought maybe now is the time to try it out.

Unfortunately I'm not able to get the program running.

Hi Floris,

This is a problem with your version of wxPython. You should try
installing a more recent version. However, you might also be able to
work around it by changing the line in question from:

self.__bxSzrTrackTime.AddSpacer(5)

to something like:

self.__bxSzrTrackTime.AddSpacer((5, 5))

or maybe just:

self.__bxSzrTrackTime.Add((5, 5))

Maybe I missed something, but I thought it would also
be possible to use cdg files in Kap.

Is it possible to use cdg files?
And maybe for a future release to play a movie file as
a background and use a mp3/ ogg - cdg file combination as
the actually karaoke song.

PyKaraoke plays CDG files. Kap is designed for playing music at a show.

So Kap is a GUI for "mplayer -playlist" at this time?

Pretty much. With interface specifically tailored for running a show. You can
see the rough road map for Kap in the TODO file. I'll be uploading a tarball
later tonight for downloading without having to use the CVS version, though
there's nothing wrong with doing that either.
