newsoul is a daemon/server based Soulseek client, a successor of Museek+.

It is basically my attempt to resurrect Museek+, which development ceased few years ago.

This is only the daemon/server part, no clients (besides CLI) are developed here.

requirements

• json-c >= 0.10
• libevent
• taglib
• nettle
• sqlite3 >= 3.7.4
• pcre
• C++11 capable compiler (for compilation)
• premake4 (for compilation)
• CppUTest (for test-suite)
• python2.x (for bindings and some misc utils)
• pycrypto (for bindings and some misc utils)

installation

$ cd build
$ premake4 gmake  # see premake4 --help for other options
$ make newsoul
# premake4 install

usage

• Use $ newsoul set command for first time configuration. See $ newsoul set help for detailed information.
• Run $ newsoul.
• Use your favourite client (Museek+ clients like Museeq should still work).

Note: Unfortunately, it is not possible to manage shares from client applications anymore. Please use $ newsoul database command instead.

Note: Version 0.2 is meant as a transitional release and suffers from a few known bugs:

• Some configuration options might not get applied before the server is restarted.
• Application startup might become slow when the shares database grows bigger. This also affects using newsoul as a CLI utility.

Both of these issues require significant changes to be properly fixed. It is the main course of the 0.3 release.

bindings

There are python2.x bindings available inside python-bindings directory. They can be installed with

$ cd python-bindings
# python2 setup.py install

Note: They are deprecated and will be removed in the future.

utils

There are some miscellaneous utils inside python-clients directory. They can be installed with

$ cd python-utils
# python2 setup.py install

Note: They require python-bindings to be installed.

Note: They are deprecated and will be removed in the future.
