Easily host #karaoke events!
Syng is a all-in-one karaoke software desinged to be powerful if needed, but also approachable and easy to set up, if you only want to host a quick karaoke event.
No song library needed, Syng will search and play back from YouTube, as well as optinally local and other remote sources.
https://syng.rocks/ just had a minor update. It is now possible to change the order of the queue via drag and drop on mobile. This previously was only possible on a desktop connection.
In other news, there is an #AppImage for the playback client in the works and I hope to be able to release a version 2.2.0 soon :D
In a world where fear is weaponized ...
Human rights will always matter here.
@OddDev Thanks for reporting; this has been fixed.
There is a small number of hashtags that trended early in the history of the "trending hashtags", and not since then, that had a misconfiguration applied to them some years ago.
Because Mastodon has still not improved the trending hashtags admin feature since then, there are no admin tools to manage hashtags that aren't trending, so the only way we can (quickly) resolve this scenario is once they are discovered and reported.
Important edit:
Meanwhile, the admin responded and clarified the situation. It was a configuration mistake. #antifa was auto blocked because of spam (if I got this correctly?) and #NoAfD basically for the same reason. The latter, however, wasn't resolved that fast because it has never been reported. Which is believable because it's super German specific.

@admin I'm sorry, what?!
Moreover, I always wanted to ship a `lite` version of syng, that only supports youtube, but can run entirely in a browser (with a server for playlist management, but not for fetching the video data), and I found youtube.js, and I was so excited, only to see, that it is not designed to run in a browser (without a proxy). Why can't things be easy for a change 😅
If anyone has suggestions or experience for these problems, I am all ears ;-)
So I started work on an Android port of the syng playback client. Ideally, I want to use most of the python code of the desktop version, so I looked into running python on android, and I have to say... most of the tooling is kind of bad... I tried both pyqtdeploy, pyside-deploy, and buildozer (both native and in a docker container) and all error out...
Will try beeware with briefcase, but that does not seem to integrate well with poetry. 😮💨
Aaaad it's back 🎉
Happy synging 🎤
Unfortunately my hoster told me, that there are currently some problems with the server, that hosts https://syng.rocks .
The site (and the #karaoke server) is currently down, but I hope not for long.
If you want to use syng today, please stand by for a bit, or consider hosting your own syng server in the meantime. #docker images are available.
📣 ANNOUNCEMENT
#Karaoke Mugen is a free software, but it's only maintained fully by 2 devs at the moment.
If you are a frontend dev who does #React / #Vue or just plain #JS, we really could need help for either the desktop app or the kara.moe website.
Come to our Discord if you're interested! 👋
Get it here:
🐧 Linux: https://flathub.org/apps/rocks.syng.Syng
:windows: Windows: https://github.com/christofsteel/syng/releases/tag/v2.1.0
:python: PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/syng/
:docker: Docker: https://ghcr.io/christofsteel/syng:2.1.0
The Flatpak is currently building on the Flathub buildserver and should be released automatically in a few hours.
Known Issues:
- Unfortunately sometimes closing the mpv window crashes the main window (instead of disconnecting).
- Sometimes closing the main window does not close the mpv window.
Both issues should be mitigated by restarting the client. The current karaoke session is saved on the server.
There were some minor Bugfix versions between 2.0.3 and 2.1.0. They fixed the following problems:
- Sometimes the mpv process deadlocked
- Searching on youtube was very slow
🎉 🎤 New Syng version 2.1.0:
This is the "single mpv window"-Release!
Changes:
- There is now only one single video window across the whole karaoke session (instead of creating a new one for every song)
- Connecting the client to a server opens the window.
- Closing the video window disconnects the client.
- The "next up" screen got some branding
- A QR Code is shown in a corner, directing the viewer to the queue
- Drag and drop support in the admin web view
@strifel Release dazu wird wahrscheinlich erst nächstes Jahr kommen, ich bin bis dahin erstmal mit Thesis schreiben beschäftigt 😅
Gerade das erste Mal den @syng Client selber benutzt.
Das funktioniert ja tatsächlich gut (auch wenn ich mir das "es startet mpv nicht jedes Mal neu" Feature auch im Release wünschen würde) und bei dem #jugendhackt #act gibt es nun Karaoke!
