To put karaoke videos on do you put them on the same as you do audio

Yes, if they are videos not MP3+G then you will need to use the non mp3 tagger to tag them.

You can use tag and rename (see google) or there is a non mp3 tagger in the software.

For videos you have to use the non mp3 tagger included with E-touch. Select a file and type in the tag info then click save.

Are you using a single screen?

If so go into options or settings (depending on skin) > Appearance > tick Auto full screen for karaoke/video.

I mnean if you double click them in windows do they open up and play in media player? What format do you have these in, if they are proper videos and will not play in media player then you will need to download and install the latest K-Lite codec pack.

Not sure what you mean ???

If you browse to the karaoke files in windows explorer and then double click one it should load up windows media player and play. Does it do that?

ok,I think I have it figured out now with the help from Glen.My question now is I have the videos in my videos separated from each other.When I go into the config. and click on my videos both files I have in there come up.I choose the one I want and when I go to the etouch videos its in there on the first big square.Now when I go in and do the other one it takes the place of the one I just did in the 1st block instead of putting it in a separate square.What am I doing wrong

You should sort your videos in exactly the same way as your music files eg:

Artist\Album\video_files.mpg

What I do is I generally just put all videos from a particular artist into their own folder eg:

Artist\Whatever_name_you_want\video_files.mpg

You also need to use the Non-Mp3 tagger to create tags for each video. It's been a long time since I've done it but it never used to recursively scan folders so you needed to do this BEFORE you organise your music videos into separate folders. You then move each tag into it's associated music video.

Once done generate your video library using E-Touch config and you good to go. For Album art I just use a copy of the fan art if I have it.

Cheers,
