probium: Sound design of Arkadium Millionaire is flawed. Once I get the final question wrong, I get treated to the $32,000 lose cue, NOT the $1 Million lose cue.

probium: For some reason when I click on a lifeline I already used, it freezes. Also the sound design is flawed, with the normal question wrong theme playing in place of the early question wrong theme.

So as you may know, yesterday the indian version of WWTBAM called "Kaun Banega Crorepati" returned for its 11th season. And as you may have heard here and there, they have a new tune for the opening (along with a complete new opening).
As in Season 10 , they are using the AR (Augmented Reality) technology for the show for certain components. (videos below) But this time with some improvements to that. The old opening was simply the KBC Logo on the glass floor for the opening (Video of KBC10 opening)
However... With KBC11 and its new opening, it went from gameshow to a kind of futuristic cinematic opening? A new orchestered tune... BUT there is one thing to take care of:
The new tune is only played on the TV Stream! and not in the On-Demand episodes. If you watch the episodes on Demand on SonyLIV, you hear the standard rave music playing.
A) The Openings. A1) With the new KBC11 tune:
A2) With Rave from SonyLIV (as in the episode below)
B) Full episode (from SonyLIV / only Rave Music in Opening) mega.nz/#!w9cHDC4R!pf_L4XpPyCf9W5vq2gJkgynwRqHQRGJu3VyTxVbjkGQ NOTE: This episode gets removed at the end of the week (Sunday)
Further episodes: i wont post any further episodes, but if you want to stay updated about KBC, Go to yodesi.net and keep an eye out for their episodes ^^
D) Augmented Reality Stuff: (if links get removed, use the full episode on mega.co.nz, linked above)
"The Moneytree Pyramid"
"The Lifelines"
So what do you think about it? Is this how the futuristic Millionaire is supposed to look like? What do you like? What dont ya like?
But I don't get why SonyLiV changed the opening theme to the "rave" version... that doesn't fit...
Anyway, in my opinion, the KBC staff put so much effort in making it a great show and once again, the've done a really good job! (I wish Germany would do the same... they're using the same set for about 11 years now...)

I cant imagine why they edited Rave above it. Makes no sense to me.. The only thing i can imagine is licensing problems. That they say okay you can use our music for streams (so the TV direct stream) but not On-Demand in videos. But then again, why would they do so and let the entire other scenes of it in there without putting rave on it? That makes it quite unclear...
I really would like to get a get 720p/1080p stream of KBC with a good audio bitrate to grab the new tune without noises
(off-topic comment about the german version: i can spoiler: We wont change the music for the 20th anniversary or episodes after that, we wont change the studio, everything will currently stay as it is. And btw, we build that studio in 2000. The only thing we did was modernized it here and there over times ^^ few new things here and there ^^ it is basically 19 year sold)
Another new feature I noticed is the 'new' Flip/Switch lifeline: Instead of replacing the current question with a random one, the contestant (in today's episode, Chitrarekha Rathore) gets a list with 11 categories from which he/she can choose one of them for their new question.
EDIT: According to news articles, the contestant can choose their topic. But as the contestant doesn't seem to do so after having locked in Flip/Switch, I suspect that they do it before the show starts.

I do like the addition of a choice of category for the switched question, although I think eleven is a little too many. Three like they do when selecting the bonus round puzzle on Wheel of Fortune would suffice. It adds another element that makes the Switch the Question lifeline a little more useful, as too many times have I seen a difficult question be switched out with a question that's just as difficult, rendering the lifeline useless or even making its effects negative. Another small but positive addition to Millionaire in my eyes.
Love the new theme. A beautiful tribute to the Strachans’ composition. Also like the new intro, as it feels more dramatic. Not to mention the categories for Switch the Question make the lifeline much better.

That's a piece of cake. In Poland, we literally had a trailer in which Hubert Urbański said there will be a millionaire. This and the trailer above is a good example how to desperately get huge ratings.

The teaser is kept very neutral, since he says something like "Will she play it? Will she quit?" However...
This probably consists as spoiler (if you havent noticed it by yourself). If you look at the teaser i posted, and stop at 0:13, you see an answer locked in on the host screen. The question is, is that the 1Crore Rs Question? And if so... What will happen?
not sure if anyone has posted on this. But I found this very intriguing. Some Behind The Scenes stuff regarding KBC new main theme arrangement. Have a hear!

Yep the beautiful theme Everybody is literally digging for the entire score
Also, this week, India does it again.. One 1Crore question has been asked already, but the person walked. Another 1Crore Question comes at the end of this week & somebody will pass it and play for 7Crore!
