@ZerNico there already exists a karaoke game as website, but because of legal issues and licensing fees being astronomically high if you are not a big Sony Music licensor or similar, no one did continue to put any more time into such games. code: https://github.com/Katharine/ponytone Website with very niche indie-music content: https://ponytone.online/
however, the code of that project is quite easily readable and might be helpful for you

Thanks, it looks pretty interesting!
My plan was to make it for self hosting and not for one big page so legal issues shouldn't be an issue
Also audio processing changed a lot recently, audioworklets and web assembly should improve the pitch detection quite a bit

@basisbit Codacy requires to add UltraStar-Deluxe Organization again (they changed something it seems). I wanted to add PlayCompanion repo to Codacy but couldn't because it is part of legacy USDX organization. And only organization owner can add the organization.
So please, add this organization in Codacy again.

@achimmihca uh, sure, let me try this quickly

Nice! If you enter ARTIFACTS_KEY and ARTIFACTS_SECRET on https://travis-ci.org/github/UltraStar-Deluxe/PlayCompanion/settings then the build should be ready as well

Hey I downloaded the standalone ultrastar play alpha for mac (and I am the sole administrator and have permissions to read and write) but it still tells me 'You do not have permission to open the application “UltraStar Play”.' - I'm wondering why is this the case?
achimmihca
@achimmihca
Other users had also issues with v0.2.1 on MacOS. These issues might be solved with the next pre-release (there is an outstanding pull request).

@Drominar_twitter
Thank you- I will look forward to the next pre-release

Successfully singing through my smartphone, works out of the box. This is AWESOME.

@achimmihca
You're welcome :) Happy that it's working
It should also be possible now to run the main game on a tablet or phone and then use another smartphone as mic.

I just opened some issues with features that are available in USDX but not yet in USPlay.
Do you know / want other features that are available in Vocaluxe, Performous, SingStar, Rockband, etc. that USPlay does not have (yet)?
Markus Böhning
@bohning
In 2018 I started a feature list of the infamous UltraStar CMD (Challenge, Medley, Duet) version of UltraStar. Maybe this can also be some inspiration for good features. UltraStar-Deluxe/USDX#361

@basisbit
there are many corner case features which make it difficult to not end up with feature creep. Imho, I'd suggest focusing on features which are more urgent because there doesn't yet exist a good solution for them. That for example includes online multiplayer support where the players all have the same usdx files already, and thus multiplayer mode could be possible. That would allow online tournaments / competitions and thus could get open source karaoke back into the usual events list of online conventions / meetups.

I just found a new site with UltraStar songs: https://usdb.eu/home
This looks very nice!
They also have an overview of UltraStar games and software: https://usdb.eu/software
Would appreciate if someone could contact them on facebook and ask them to include UltraStar Play on their site: https://www.facebook.com/UltrastarDB.
I don't use facebook so I can't do this myself.
Also, there now is a video about UltraStar Play on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B8BJeEcjj0

Maybe we should try to contact them and talk about the zip file format and a song content registry? I could write a server reference implementation for that but am currently not sure what the requirements are and how stuff like the API and workflow should be designed

a legal implementation could be like this: Alice is a registered at Samplestore, who also sell licensed karaoke music. Alice bought a tons of music content, more than fits on their phone's memory. USP could have some integration into such a store, which allows Alice to find and one-click download+"install" content or remove content again form the phone.
In countries where music licensing is not as complicated or when using only creative commons content (or similar), such a "store" could include free content which is available even for unregistered users.

Checkout the new website of UltraStar Play: https://usplay.net
I redesigned the page using a bootstrap theme to better highlight its features.
Also, I wrote an article for German blog linuxnews.de
If you also know or follow some tech related blog/magazine for Android, games, or open source, then you might want to sent them a hint about UltraStar Play. Spread the word ;)

Ai , sorry guys. Found this chat too late - opened an issue already. It seems this problem was mentioned here before :-S
This channel however looks a little bit abandoned
achimmihca
@achimmihca
Not completely abandoned :)
Your issue should be added to the wiki. I think in winter there will be more activity on USPlay again

^^
to your question above:
i think a legal way to implement songs from different websites is to have a pluggable mechanism

lets assume you can identify a sheme behind the offering from usdb.eu > the user could create an external source of songs which can be specified by an URL for retrieving the song list and details, an zip file scheme etc.

software would be legal since you will not ship an illegal downloading mechanism but in contries with lax copyrights it would be ok to add these sites as source

OR you have two different binaries and you can let the customer decide on what to download, depending on legal requirements of the downlaoders country.

@basisbit
@bwestpha:matrix.org something like this is already somewhat implemented in UltraStar Play. It is however missing some songs discovery + selective songs download way. It already has the download from url feature with progress display, unpacks the zip file into the fitting folder and so on.
