Installation

Binaries

For installation instructions from binaries please visit the Releases Page.

Via Go

$ go get github.com/jessfraz/cliaoke

Requirements

Linux

• Download fluidsynth and soundfonts on debian this was fluid-soundfont-gm.

Via Docker

$ docker run --rm -it \
    --device /dev/snd \
    jess/cliaoke hard_knock_life

Bringing up the track Hard Knock Life...

OSX

This assumes you have setup fluidsynth in the following way:

(grab a copy of GeneralUser_GS_1.44-FluidSynth.zip from one of the mirrors in http://www.filewatcher.com/m/GeneralUser_GS_1.44-FluidSynth.zip.28596599-0.html)

$ brew install fluidsynth
$ unzip GeneralUser_GS_1.44-FluidSynth.zip
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/share/fluidsynth
$ mv GeneralUser\ GS\ 1.44\ FluidSynth/GeneralUser\ GS\ FluidSynth\ v1.44.sf2 /usr/local/share/fluidsynth/generaluser.v.1.44.sf2

Running cliaoke with no arguments will list all the available songs. Once downloaded the songs are saved in a ~/.cliaoke/ directory.

Caveats for Mac Users

• You must install fluidsynth according to the instructions below.
• Sometimes the search for lyrics selects the wrong one, whomp whomp.
• The lines being printed are not synced with the song. (maybe there is a way to parse the lyric metadata from a .mid file?)

cliaoke's Issues

Proposal: Scroll speed adjustment

Figured I'd open a separate issue for this. I noticed right now you have a 1 sec sleep count on scroll speed, but for the songs I've tried so far that's a bit fast. Maybe a cool feature would be for the program to accept an optional sleep count from the user.

Can't find song lyrics :-(

Seems to never load any lyrics no matter which midi file I choose.

Going to look into this and if required raise a PR. Watch this space :-).

Host mid files on s3

Don't rely on scraping from 2 years ago lololol

Unable to rock out w/ cli-aoke on OS X El Cap

Save lyrics after downloaded once

Hey jfrazelle! I love this little program. I was wondering if you had any intentions on growing it further. I was thinking that it would be nice if it could save the lyrics after being downloaded once to a folder - so you could use the program offline as well.

Otherwise, I could try my hand at it, but only if you think it useful.

FluidSynth sound font zip for Mac

The zip file is no longer at http://www.schristiancollins.com/soundfonts/GeneralUser_GS_1.44-FluidSynth.zip but I found a mirror index at http://www.filewatcher.com/m/GeneralUser_GS_1.44-FluidSynth.zip.28596599-0.html

PR: #12

docker image instruction fails to run cliaoke

I tried to run via docker as per instructions, but I am getting:

docker run --rm -it \
    --device /dev/snd \
    jess/cliaoke hard_knock_life
docker: Error response from daemon: linux runtime spec devices: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/snd": lstat /dev/snd: no such file or directory.

No idea where to go from here.
Google search on the error returns a very old, by now solved, issue for docker...

Here is my platform info if of any help:
MacBook Pro - Mid 2009 (yes old...and maybe due to docker limitations...)
OSX 10.9.5
Docker version 1.12.1, build 23cf638

I was curious to try cliaoke out...if too time consuming...just discard this issue. Tnks.
