Turn android TV to Karaoke machine

by keroma

HI, I just got a TV with android TV build in. Any idea what i need to buy (mic, bluetooth? USB?) or app to make it like a karaoke machine? (Music and lyrics)

Earlier versions of Kodi had CD+G karaoke playback. The latest couple versions (16 and 17) don't. The version ofkodi that does have karaoke playback is excellent.

Alternately, there is a karaoke addon for Kodi that negates the need to have it built in. It's like an exodus/covenant addon except for karaoke playback.

For other karaoke songs my wife and I would just search YouTube e.g. "songname karaoke"

I never figured out a mic playback solution though for Android TV. My karaoke rig is a NUC with windows 10.

If you feed your TV audio to a receiver you can get a karaoke mixer to sit in between them, negating the need for USB microphone (besides, usb mic introduces a tiny bit of lag which takes some getting used to)

youtube has tons of karaoke tracks.

Similar objective as you. I did buy a microphone (wired). There are KTV apps for mobile that do the job using built-in mic. Recently I tried to install one (changba) but it wouldn't on the AndroidTV as I guess it detects it's not a phone). No time after that to try other apps...

Free alternative has been to use the screen mirroring from my phone to the TV. It plays well the songs and display.
