Linux get songs directly? /Lutris Installer broken

Adrixan · November 01, 2018, 01:09:40 PM

Hi everyone,

I already have an ultrastar setup running on Linux and would just like to download the songs directly.

Unfortunately I can't find a link to the library anywhere. Can someone please provide it to me?

I have also tried using the Lutris installer script but it seems to be broken, reporting that it doesn't get an 'lzma' in the response.

Hi! The script is supposed to fetch all the songs automatically and install them, except for the latest releases. Each pack is extracted (tarballs with no frills) in order in the songs folder, overwriting existing files if needed, as the incremental updates also provide corrections from time to time. The segments were posted right above my post by Yayponies, you can use the links above as a manual fallback if the script fails.

LZMA isn't needed to extract the tarballs, so I'm not sure what's happening here with the install script (due to having sub-1mbps internet now, I can't just fire up a new virtual machine and test, nor do I want to jeopardise my current Linux setup). I'll try to investigate when I get the chance :)

Personally I just use a regular installation of Ultrastar and some scripts to get the stuff.

To get the base song packs easy, see the "Autoscript" under "What are the minimal system requirements?" on https://www.mylittlekaraoke.com/index.php?pages/Game-download

Just put the script in .ultrastardx and it _should_ work. Or just use Renard's links, it's a one-time operation anyway.

For the newer updates I've written a small Python script, again put it in .ultrastardx, change the WORK_DIR variable and run it, it will take care of the rest. I run it regularly (it wil not redownload what has already been downloaded, just don't ever remove the mlkbeta.cache file).

Code Select

#!/usr/bin/env python

from lxml import html
import requests
import sys
import os
import urllib # only for pretty printing the download
import tarfile

# change if needed
WORK_DIR = '/home/bbq/.ultrastardx'
URL_PREFIX = 'https://www.mylittlekaraoke.com/store/beta'

# check if correct working dir
if os.getcwd() != WORK_DIR:
  print("Script should be run from " + WORK_DIR)
  sys.exit()

# open cache file for appending new items
cachefile = open('mlkbeta.cache', 'a')
# already downloaded items
cachefiler = open('mlkbeta.cache', 'r')
cache = cachefiler.read().splitlines()
cachefiler.close()

# grab webpage
r = requests.get(URL_PREFIX + '/releases.html')
tree = html.fromstring(r.content)
elems = tree.xpath('//div[@id="container"]/a')
elems.reverse()
for elem in elems:
  href = elem.get('href')
  # skip already downloaded files
  if href in cache:
    continue
  # download new files
  print('Downloading ' + os.path.basename(urllib.parse.unquote(href)))
  # do we even recognize this type?
  extractpath = None
  if href.endswith('.mlk'):
    extractpath = 'songs'
  elif href.endswith('.mlt'):
    extractpath = 'themes'
  if extractpath is None:
    raise 'Extension of "' + href + '" not recognized'
  # actual downloading
  tempfilename = 'temp.tar.gz'
  r = requests.get(URL_PREFIX + '/' + href, stream=True)
  with open(tempfilename, 'wb') as f:
    for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
      if chunk: # filter out keep-alive new chunks
        f.write(chunk)
  # extract, delete, and log in cachefile
  tar = tarfile.open(tempfilename, 'r')
  tar.extractall(path=extractpath)
  tar.close()
  os.remove(tempfilename)
  cachefile.write(href + "\n")
  cachefile.flush()
cachefile.close()
