Linux Support

Hello! I have been playing a lot of YARG recently on Windows and it has been working great. However, I recently got a Linux box (a Steam Machine, if it matters), and I am struggling to get YARG working properly.

In particular, one of my guitars is not being recognized properly as devices. I am able to open the game without issue, do settings, configs, play songs, etc. However, my Wired Xbox 360 RB1 Stratocaster is not able to be fully configured.

  • If I open the application via the Launcher in Desktop Mode, I get popups that say "Device Added: Harmonix Rock Band Guitar" followed immediately by "Device Removed: Harmonix Rock Band Guitar". When I go to profiles, the guitar does not appear as a device I can associate with a profile, and so cannot be configured at all.
  • If I add YARG as a non-Steam app and launch it through Steam without Steam Input enabled, I get the exact same behaviour.
  • If I launch through Steam with Steam Input mapping enabled, YARG recognizes it as a Steam Virtual Gamepad. I am able to map keys to buttons and play songs, but tilt for Star Power does not work at all. There's no way to bind the tilting action that I can find.
  • My Guitar Hero Xbox 360 Les Paul and Rock Band 2 Drums, both wireless and both connecting via an Xbox 360 Wireless adapter, are plug and play, no configuration required, worked immediately.

I have tried doing all of the recommended Linux config options here: https://github.com/YARC-Official/YARG#linux and they did not make any difference.

Anyone have any other advice? I'm really not sure how else I can proceed. I really like the tilt for star power capability.

Drum configuration for menu control

I just set up an Alesis Nitro Max and I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to configure it, particularly for menu navigation. I keep having to use my laptop keyboard.

Is there a default "best practices" config for optimizing an e-kit as your only control input for the game?

Simple app for connecting LIFX lights to YARG

I play lots of YARG and tried YALCY before and it never works right, so I used a bit of AI to make a simple python applet that takes the data outputted by YARG (requires UDP to be enabled in settings) and turns it into commands for LIFX LAN lights. If you want me to add other lighting stuff or any features let me know, I own plenty of smart lights so I can see what I can do.

Will Rock Band 4 dlc eventually be available?

With the delisting happening, I’m curious to know if we will eventually have access to the charts for download to use on clone hero/yarg or even import into modded console games? There’s a few songs that I bought on rb4 Xbox that I’d love to have elsewhere but I can’t find them online anywhere.
