Syng is a webbased karaoke client written in Python. It manages a playlist and forwards the top element of playlist to a configurable media player. Songs can be played from a library or from youtube. Once the software is started, it listens for a HTTP connection (Default on Port 1337) for control. Clients can connect via a web interface and search and add songs, which are played on the server.
Install with:
pip install git+https://github.com/christofsteel/syng
It needs at least Python34.
Launch it with:
syng
At first launch, syng will create a configuration file at
${HOME}/.config/syng/syng.config. Syng will look for cdg and mkv files
in the folder ${HOME}/.local/share/syng/songs. If you need to have
your files in a different location, you can exit the software and edit
the configuration file. Launch it again with the option --scan to
start scanning for new files.
Syng will now start a webserver on http://localhost:1337
You can set a password for an admin user in the configuration file. The
admin interface is reachable under http://localhost:1337/admin .
Username is admin and the default password is also admin. In the
admin interface you can modify the playlist and skip songs.
There is also a command line interface, mainly for testing purposes. See
syng_cli --help for help.
