Advanced searching can be done on the Songbook App but voice search via the remote provides quick way to search for content in TKaraokeUsb. Voice search can find content on hard drive as well as YouTube.
Android TV
TKaraoke can run directly on your modern Sony TV or Android Media Box such as the Nvidia Shield, MiBox, or Amazon Fire TV. There are 2 variants of TKaraoke on Android TV: TKaraoke Android and TKaraokeUSB. TKaraoke Android is an affordable app that you can purchase for $5 on the Google Play Store. You will need to run your own Song Server to provide the songs for TKaraoke. TKaraokeUSB, on the other hand, can pickup the songs directly by plugging in a USB Hard Driver to your TV or Android Box. See our shop for current offerings.
Update TKaraokeUSB to the latest version
Updating TKaraokeUSB to the latest version is very simple. Just launch the Google Play Store app and select “My Apps” and then select TKaraokeUSB. You can optionally change the Google Play Store app’s setting to “auto update” so it will update to the latest version automatically after we release a new version of TKaraokeUSB.
Voice Searching YouTube Content
Starting with v1.1.97, you can voice search YouTube content via the remote control. Actually, it doesn’t matter if the search method is voice search or text search, as long as there is the word “YouTube” at the end of the query, TKaraokeUSB will search YouTube content instead of local hard drive content.
Playing Favorite Songs Randomly
Starting with TKaraokeUSB build 93, users can request to play their favorite songs randomly. Favorite songs Songbook -device-specific (i.e. your favorite songs might not be the same as your wife’s favorite songs). To request playing Favorite Songs randomly, on the Songbook app, go to the Favorite Category and select the Play button on the very first item called Random Play. Note that this is a new feature and requires Songbook App v2.16 or newer.
Nvidia Shield TV 2019 AI Upscaling
The long-waited Shield TV 2019 model released today, October 28, 2019. The 2019 model have the following that are most relevant when using it with TKaraokeUSB for karaoke purposes:
- AI Upscaling of 720p and 1080p content to 4K
- The all-new remote with accurate voice search, unlike the crappy old Shield Remote
- Faster processor
So far I’m impressed with the Artificial Intelligence upscaling of the Shield TV 2019. The picture below illustrates what AI Scaling is all about.
