SongSelect CCLI Integration

[Marsipulami]

Is it possible to make an integration with the SongSelect database from CCLI?

It would be a huge enhancement in my opinion and would for sure convince me of this software rather than buying a tool like ProPresenter.

Thanks and God bless

I think this depends on #501 . I'll look into their API when working on that.

This would be a huge help!

I just sent a PR for #501 . I requested access to the Song Select API and received the response below. I've followed up asking if there is a replacement API we can use and am waiting to hear back.

Had a few rounds of follow up with CCLI customer service. It appears that ProPresenter has a special arrangement and SongSelect is not available for other platforms. I'm going to close this issue until CCLI (hopefully) changes their position. The only option for now would be to copy/paste lyrics into FreeShow manually:

Thank you for the quick response. Is there a new API to replace it? What's the current method for software that wishes to integrate SongSelect?

There are currently no plans to replace the current API that we are on right now. We will definitely make an announcement if, or when we decide to start the program back up again.

Renewed Vision is stating they have migrated ProPresenter to a new API you provided in order to continue to offer SongSelect. Is that API not available to other presentation software?

Yes, that is correct in that we migrated to a new API sometime last year, and in order for Renewed Vision to connect with the new API they had to create a new version of their software. Currently, the old and new API's are not available for other presentation software as stated below.

Thanks for trying. Hoping they will change their view on this.
in the meantime, keep up the good work
