PiKaraoke
Source: You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.I just want to share sa mga mahilig mag karaoke. While it is nice to use MagicSing, TJ Media, Platinum and other karaoke setup. Problem with these is that songs are not updated. I personally have a TJ Media but almost two years ng walang update kasi mahal/hassle mag update ng songs monthly. Luckily I was able to use PiKaraoke in my RPI and over the years it can now be installed in MAC, windows, and Linux OS.
PiKaraoke is YøùTùbé-based Karaoke machine for Raspberry Pi, OSX, Windows, and Linux. Initially, you need to be online to download YøùTùbé Karaoke videos but after you have already downloaded those videos, it can now be played offline.
Features
- Web interface for multiple users to queue tracks
- Splash screen with connection QR code and "Next up" display
- Searching/browsing a local song library
- Adding new songs from YøùTùbé
- mp3 + cdg support, including compressed .zip bundles
- Pause/Skip/Restart and volume control
- Advanced editing of downloaded file names
- Queue management
- Key Change / Pitch shifting
- Lock down features with admin mode
Although Installation is very tricky, but once you have completed the Installation. Unlimited karaoke na with your whole fam and friends. Tiyaga lang sa pag install. Although I will try my best to help, but search ninyo lang sa Google if you encountered problems.
Basic concept here is you need python 3 in your OS and installed VLC. Then install the app using the source code from Github. For pyhton users here, this would be easy, but for those who have no background on this. I hope I can help you with the installation.
Installation (I have personally tried on RPI, Linux, and windows)
I - Pre-built Raspberry Pi image (I highly recommend this if you have already RPI)
If you're on a Raspberry Pi, you might want to just use the pre-built image to save time installing dependencies:- Download the zip file of the raspberrry pi image and extract it: You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.
- Write the image to an SD card. You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.
- Before plugging it in, configure your wifi
- Reconnect the SD card on the computer you used to flash the file
- In the /boot drive that shows up, make a copy of wpa_supplicant.conf.example to wpa_supplicant.conf
- Edit this wpa_supplicant.conf and replace with your wifi router's ssid, password, and if necessary, the country code. Save the file
- Plug in the SD card to your pi device and turn it on
- You should eventually see the Pikaraoke splash screen
- On your phone, connect to the IP address on the screen (or use the QR code).
- In the web interface, go to the "Pikaraoke" submenu in the titlebar.
- Click the link to update YøùTùbé-dl and give it a couple of minutes to complete
- Click the link to expand the Raspberry Pi filesystem to fill the rest of your SD card
- Pi will reboot. You should be all set!
- The credentials to log in to the pi are - username: pi / password: pikaraoke
II - Manual install (for windows and Linux/RPI)
A. Raspberry pi
1. Install git and pip3. On Linux or RPI, Open the terminal window and type each line
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
2. Clone PiKaraoke repo:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/vicwomg/pikaraoke.git
cd pikaraoke3. Run the setup script:
Code:
./setup-pi.sh
4. You will then probably need to reboot since this changes a boot setting (gpu_mem=128). This is to prevent certain videos from showing visual artifacts (green pixel distortion)
Code:
sudo rebootB. Linux / OSX (maybe within this week I will create an ISO image)
1. Install git You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

6. Install y0utube-dl.exe. Note: replace 0 to small letter o (as in oscar)
Code:
Install y0utube-dl.exe.7. Open a powershell, and go to the pikaraoke directory (using cd command):
Code:
pip3 install -r requirements.txtNote: if you have trouble installing pygame, there's apparently an incompatibility with Python 3.8. Try upgrading to the latest python version or downgrading to 3.7.
Launching
1. Open terminal window / powershell for windows
cd to the pikaraoke directory and run:
2. Type
LINUX or RPI:
Code:
sudo python3 app.py
if you encounter due to YøùTùbé-dl path, you may try this:
Code:
sudo python3 app.py --y0utubedl-path /usr/bin/y0utube-dlNote: replace 0 to small letter o (as in oscar)
if you get an error while launching PiKaraoke: VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.
Code:
sudo sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc
Code:
sudo python3 app.py --y0utubedl-path /usr/bin/y0utube-dl
or
WINDOWS/OSX:
Code:
python3 app.py
You must run as sudo on pi devices if you are running directly from the console since PiKaraoke uses pygame to control the screen buffer. You can probably run as non-sudo from the Raspbian desktop environment but may need to specify a different download directory than the default with the -d option.
The app should launch and show the PiKaraoke splash screen and a QR code and a URL. Using a device connected to the same wifi network as the Pi, scan this QR code or enter the URL into a browser. You are now connected! You can start exploring the UI and adding/queuing new songs directly from YøùTùbé.
