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.

@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.

After quite a while, I just tried to compile the latest code with 2021.1.23f1, but even after re-running download-dependencies.sh, I get the following errors that trigger Unity safe mode. Any suggestions?

@achimmihca
probably incompatible Unity version.
the travis build is using unity 2021.1.1f1, which should work
I would not bother upgrading to new Unity before they release 2021.2 (which should be soon)
Markus Böhning
@bohning
thanks a lot, then I will wait for 2021.2!

Just installed Ultrastar Play on my Nvidia Shield can't believe it works almost flawlessly. Set song path to a USB key works well.
Also works with The SingStar USB mic on the Shield. Only issue is playing AVI encoded tracks but pretty awesome.

Thanks for the feedback! Happy that it works for you :)

@Falcosaoldel I dont understand your question...

Just dropping this as an idea here
I am not sure if the code for that changed already but I had a pretty nice idea for gameplay. So row positions are calculated by the average midi note of the current sentence right? So if all notes have the same pitch they'll be in the middle and it'd look like its the same pitch as the last sentence. On my web version I tried making that average midi note influenced by whatever the the average midi note for the last sentence was. (took the average of the old and the new) That way it looks a lot better. Could probably be improved for large jumps but it's a nice QOL thing.

@achimmihca
I like the idea to incorporate the previous sentence average fot current note positioning. However, this needs to be specified more clearly

@ZerNico
I'll test some stuff out and see how it works. First I gotta get USPlay to run inside the unity editor on my PC tho

hi. i would like to test the android version on my samsung s10e. can s.o. help me to configure a nas folder in the game settings? in the windows version i can link to the folder \192.168.178.34\Medien\Singstar\songs
how to get access from my mobile phone?
frogro
@frogro
Or how to access the Download folder on my phone?
achimmihca
@achimmihca
Hi, the download location for the demo songs on Android is accessible from normal file manager (in Android and from PC I think) .
I don't know if Android (and Unity on Android) support network folders out of the box
Network address normally starts with two backsalshes. Did you try \\192.168.178.34?
achimmihca
@achimmihca
If this is not working already, please open a new issue for UltraStar Play that it should support network folders on Android.
basisbit
@basisbit
It sounds like the above question has different expectations that what the answer is for. UltraStar Play requires the song folder to be on the local device as a folder. Play however also supports downloading song package files (which are then unpacked to a local folder of the app storage on the phone / TV / computer). I guess a documentation of what is expected as format of the downloadable song package file is missing so far.
frogro
@frogro
I tried with double \192. but this does not work as well. Could not find the path of the download folder with the drmo songs to add my songs
In the windows version ultrastar play supports network folders with two \
achimmihca
@achimmihca
I see. The network folder support is a platform thing that depends on operating system and Unity. Adding other file system support is out of scope for UltraStar Play.

@achimmihca

I remember issues with the log file as well: https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/Play/wiki/Logging-(Serilog)
The path is /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.Karaoke.UltraStarPlay/files
Note: This path must be accessed from another device via USB connection. The contents of this location are private. This means no app on the Android device can read the data created by another app.
For example, on my Windows machine, I can access the path as My Phone\Internal Storage\com.Karaoke.UltraStarPlay\files
achimmihca
@achimmihca
As alternative, you could maybe a path on an SD card to UltraStar Play. But I did not try it yet. There might be issues because SD card access requires some permissions on Android.
You can find the path to your SD card using some file managers. For example, Simple File Manager shows the path in the folder details.

Thanks. I could reach the path after having connected my Samsung 10e to my Windows laptop.

So I was able to upload my own songs to my Phone in the standard Android folder of Ultrastar Play.

@frogro
But I still have another issue: I connected my Scarlet 2i2 audio interface to my phone. Mic is recognized in general in the Ultrastar App (also during a song) but I can only hear the song title not my voice over the mic? Is this an Android issue?
Another thing: I also installed the Android version on FireTV HD. Installation succeeded but after starting the App no button works. It is stuck on the first page. Buttons can be selected but without reaction.

this is as designed. UltraStar Play is a sing-along karaoke game, it does not repeat the audio that the microphone picks up.

frogro
@frogro
Strange. I guess this is the sense of Karaoke. With my Windows computer the mic audio sound is also passed through from the audio device to my amp. Makes no fun if the voice isn't amplified but only the song.
basisbit
@basisbit
lots of computers support direct microphone audio playback with hardware acceleration, so that there is very little delay. As far as I know, phones do not offer that out of the box. I'd assume that a usb microphone connected to the phone and also connected to a speaker over wire would do a better job
achimmihca
@achimmihca
There are also technical limitations. I tried passing the mic input to an audio output with Unity's API. But there was a significant latency such that I heared everything "twice" and not in sync. I use my USB mic in USPlay with a delay of approx. 300 milliseconds. Even without the pitch analysis, this is way too much. Of course, other sound cards might perform better. But I still have doubts because of Unity API and C# as managed language.
