Works with YouTube and Spotify.
With this project I aim to provide a software which can be hosted on a Raspberry Pi and operates as a collaborative music server. The server can be accessed via a web browser from any device which can communicate with the RPi over the internet. I am also working on advanced features to provide a better collaborative experience.
- YouTube Search
- Auto-Play Recommendations
- Collaborative Queue
- Spotify Search
- Default Config
- Config in YAML, TOML, JSON, or something
- Playlists
- Security Measures (Authentication)
- Song Voting
- Automatic Volume Adjustment (YT)
- Mix Playlists
This software requires Python 3 and the following Python libraries:
- Bottle 0.12.18
- Google API Client 1.10.0
- Pafy
- python-mpv 0.5.2
- spotipy 2.13.0
Highly recommended, but not stricly necessary is:
- Paste 3.4.3
All Depencies can be installed through pipenv.
You need to write a config.py file like the following:
HOST_NAME = 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'
PORT_NUMBER = 7000
SERVER_TYPE = 'paste'
ENABLE_VOLUME_NORMALIZATION = False
YOUTUBE_API_KEY = 'AIza...'Put this file in the root directory of the music server.
You'll need to replace the HOST_NAME variable with your servers IP address,
and set the YOUTUBE_API_KEY variable to a valid key for the YouTube Data API.
If you did not download the recommended server software 'Paste',
you have to change the SERVER_TYPE to the server you want to use instead,
a list of possibilities can be found in the Bottle Documentation.
Then, assuming that the music server is located in a directory called 'musicServer',
you can run it using the supervise command from the parent directory:
$ nohup supervise musicServer &The nohup command prevents the server from shutting down when you log out of the shell that launched it.
Whereas the supervise command will automatically relaunch the server if/when it crashes.
Therefore the command above should lead to the server being up until you explicitly decide to kill the program.
