SoundBytez.io API integration

[btzr-io]

Decentralized Music Sharing - https://soundbytez.io/

The API integration of soundBytez.io should make possible the following features:

• Sharing / embedded content.
• Streaming (free claims).

Once my team and I get the code base sorted regarding uploading and embedding audio types, I will look further into integrating the two services. Our priority at the moment is to get SoundBytez in an operational state before looking for any integration or third-party interaction.

Will keep this updated as we move forward, Thank you!

In the current state of SoundBytez, I believe we would be willing to start talk of API integration. At the moment, it would be limited to sharing the content.

We are still working on embedding content using an audio-player in JSX.

What all would you need from us (at SoundBytez) to begin integration with Jelly Beats?

[kcseb]

Update: We've added the ability to playback embedded audio. We pulled a piece that was claimed on Jelly Beats (https://soundbytez.io/@FeralLogic:e/FeralLogic0x0001) and successfully played it back on SoundBytez.

As I asked before, what all would you need from us to begin integration with Jelly Beats?

Let us know, Thank you!

@kcseb Hi, I'm stuck refactoring the track list component so I can't get much integrated until I finish that..
I'm guessing soundbytez follows the same api as spee.ch, and looks like the direct link is working so I think I can work with that for now ✌️

[btzr-io]

Also I been looking for a way to extend the claim metadata and support something similar like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3

@kcseb So far the only decentralized way to achieve this that I know is to include the additional metadata inside the claim description.

[btzr-io]

Never mind, there is going to be new metadata for claims and channels 👍

[kcseb]

Regarding metadata;

SoundBytez is currently pulling the claim author (spee.ch channel name) and claim name (spee.ch claim/file name) as the "track artist" and "track title".

This can be seen on our new audio-player on mostly any claim that has been published from a channel.

If the person has not uploaded to a channel, it will simply display "No Music Artist Found".

We're likely going to add a message on the upload prompt urging individuals to publish to channels/collections to better help the overall design.

Edit to show examples;

Anonymous Upload - Displays "No Music Artist Found" but displays the file name/track name.
https://soundbytez.io/4/anon-upload-test

Channeled Upload - Displays @FeralLogic for the artist name and FeralLogic0x0001 for the track name.

@kcseb Hi, I'm now working on this (streaming) and just have some questions:

• Are you using the same api routes as spee.ch?
• What happens if the file is not ready yet on soundbytez? Do I need to wait until the file is fully downloaded or does it start streaming right a way?

Anyway if your api is similar to spee.ch, this should work:
https://soundbytez.io/${channelName}:${channelId}/${name}.mp3

[kcseb]

Yes, we are using the same API as spee.ch.

If a file is not available yet on SoundBytez, it will not play, same as Spee.ch.

If you're referring to download availability, you wont have to wait for the full download to finish, it will begin playing whatever is available in the buffer as it becomes available.

Regarding direct URI, your syntax is correct.
Example; https://soundbytez.io/@FeralLogic:e/FeralLogic0x0001.mpga

@kcseb Awesome thanks, I'm almost done just a few minor changes left ✌️

This is already implemented but will be replaced by: #441
