I thought this feature was to come shortly after the Online Book feature. Any update on it, devs? Thanks.

This is a very convenience feature but not easy to do due to security related issues. Our server must somehow connect to TKaraoke on your machine by-passing your firewalls and such. This feature is not ready yet.

most importantly, not everyone wants their system to open for a website. ;0)

That is right. So this feature needs to balance security and convenience, not easy to find the clear boundary.

But if we can open certain ports on the tkaraoke application, and have the app access the playlist on that tkaraoke, then that may be a different story. We can make it work within the LAN.

Is it possible to release a plugin module to communicate directly to the Tkaraoke software?

I'm in the middle of developing a local webapp for my digital songbook. The app takes the Tkaraoke Song Catalog.txt file and display it on a webpage. Users can scroll, search and sort through the list. If a user select one song the webapp will output 6 keystroke. ie '1' '0' '0' '0' '9' 'enter' for the nineth song in the list. This works, but not consistently. The user can select 1 or more songs, however only the first 1 or 2 songs get detected sometimes not at all. I'm thinking Tkaraoke cannot pickup the digits fast enough or something else. I even tried pausing 1 second in between keystrokes, still doesn't work. I output the digits to a text file, the digits are in correct sequence.

The plugin module can be a commandline interface.
example.

Tqueue.exe -addsongs 1234,0003,4444 ;add 3 songs to the queue
Tqueue.exe -display ;display currently queued songs ie 1234,0003,4444
Tqueue.exe -remove 0003 ;remove song 0003 from the queue
Tqueue.exe -next ;plays next song.
Tqueue.exe -switchtrack ;switch audio track.

Are you trying to implement this feature by transmitting SEND_KEY commands? Send_Key won't work reliably. There will be a web service for varous components of TKaraoke to talk to. Not sure if we will be exposing this service for outside clients.

Yes this is exactly what I'm trying to do. It works but not reliable. What about releasing a command line interface like the above example?

I've been using the app called Jump Desktop on my Ipad as a way around this. It works very well since I use dual-monitors on my computer. I have the video screen of Tkaraoke output to the TV and the menu screen with the songs listing screen output to a monitor. The Ipad is logged onto to the monitor screen. This is almost an ideal setup since I find TKaraoke menu screen to be quite intuitive. I said "almost" because it would be even better if I could single tab instead of double tab on the Ipad to play or add a song to the queue list.

So I'm requesting an option to single click on a song to be able to play it. Thanks.

The online songbook feature supporting Song Queue management via the web interface will be available very soon. There will be a test program that anyone can download and help us test this feature. After through testing, this feature will be implemented in the Pro version soon after. Your help in testing this feature is greatly appreciated. There will be another post with instructions on how to đownloa and test this feature - you don't need to have Pro version to use this test program.
