Question about gameplay / voice / light and a small UI bug

[Adroc18]

First of all congrats for the create idea and app! Good job.

Some small feedback/question after some try outs

1. TTS is configured but I never hear any output? Music playing normal and the TTS test was ok, but during the game no output at all? Any think I need to adjust?

2. Light. Yes I can choose the light from my Installation, but again, nothing happening? Do the need to be Hue lights or does any kind of light avaiable in HA works?

3. Gameplay...is there a mode that automatically jumps to the next track once the time is over? So I start the game on my desktop, everyones joins by phone, no one is on the desktop to jump to the next track??? Shouldn't that work automatically?

4. Small UI bug, see screenshot when selecting a playlist the "weiter" button is cut of.

Again, great work, you and the AI keep it up!!

best regards,
Michael

P.S: Any plans to support SmartTV as Dashbord / Scoreboard?

Thanks Michael — really thoughtful feedback, and glad you're enjoying it! 🎵

Every point is now tracked as its own issue:

• TTS silent during the game → TTS configured and tested OK but silent during the game (#1009) #1010
• Lights selected but not reacting → Party Lights selected but lights never react during a game (#1009) #1011
• Auto-advance when nobody's at the admin screen → No automatic round advance — game stalls with nobody at the admin screen (#1009) #1012
• "Weiter" button cut off on the playlist step → UI: 'Weiter' button cut off on the playlist-selection step (#1009) #1013
• SmartTV as dashboard / scoreboard → Feature: SmartTV support as dashboard / scoreboard (#1009) #1014

A couple of quick answers in the meantime:

• Lights don't have to be Hue — any HA-controllable light should work; Party Lights selected but lights never react during a game (#1009) #1011 covers confirming that and why yours didn't fire.
• Dashboard on a TV is already possible today — Beatify has a separate spectator dashboard view (there's a dashboard URL you can open on any browser/TV). Feature: SmartTV support as dashboard / scoreboard (#1009) #1014 is about making that nicer for TVs.

Thanks again for taking the time to write all this up!
