Cant get connectkaraoke to work

Post by lobomike61 »

I am trying to use the remote songbook and singer cue feature. I have logged into register on connectkaraoke.com but it gives a message that the Siglos is not running. However, I have the system running on the same computer thaat I am trying to create teh conncetkaraoke.com connection. I have tried to get my friends to sign on with their phones and it says the the show is not running. What am I doing wrong?

Is the check box on the settings in the internet section checked. If not click on that and that should activate it.

Make sure that you have entered the API key correctly. Also there is 'Test connection' button in Internet settings of Remote Queue.

Thank you for the help. I did not know where the remote que button was to get this started. How do I choose which of the duplicate songs will go to the singer rotation list? I have that enabled in the remote settings, but it just shows there are duplicates, it does not let me choose which one to play.

I have everything set up and it is running well. I just can't get it to let me choose the best track out of the duplicates. How do you do that?

Under general settings uncheck merge duplicates.

I was hoping that was not the answer. I like the system only showing the one song title. Oh, well; can't have everything.

When you edit songs in the database you can unclick show song in remote and it just wont show up there.

So when someone chooses a song with duplicates, which version goes into the rotation? I would prefer to be able to put in sound choice or some other quality track rather than a Honky Cat track that is not true to the original song.

Unfortunately in the current version the first one from the database will be used. I will think of a way to fix this.

The fix is to set it to not allow auto add to function if there's duplicates.

could it be set to use an if/then scenario?
since it already knows if there are duplicates...
if there are duplicates, then show a pop-up with the available versions to pick from?
a quicker alternative for a fast "right now" fix could be that when adding a song that has duplicates, have it open the ADD SINGER dialog and populate the artist and title fields automatically to show all versions available
