History

(Back to contents👆🏻)

This project started as a custom media server created using flask and vlc to allow youtube streaming via terminal in search of creating a server. Even worked on less powerful devices like RaspberryPi.

RoadMap

(Back to contents👆🏻)

Currently as for initial Stage, I expect to make a "music.youtube.com" like app that works in India too and plays only mp3 music. Incorporating Youtube Suggestion too, it uses Youtube API's or scrapping if required.

As of now, the front-end and backend are be in a common repo and will be separated if the app shows some promise.

Installation

To start the Flask Server

Install vlc if not done already (sudo apt-get install vlc for Debian & sudo snap install vlc for Ubuntu)
It is advised to use a pipenv as the already installed versions of vlc might interfere with the ones in the dependencies
Use the command pip3 install pipenv
Now cd into server directory via cd server/
Next, install the dependenices by using the command pipenv install
Before running the server, get your YouTube API key by following this guide - https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started
Use your own API key by modifying line 5 in this file.
To run the server , use the command pipenv run python3 server.py

To start the React Frontent

Then go to the frontend directory using cd youtube_cli_flask/youtube_mp3_frontend.
Install the dependencies using npm install --save
Install tachyons using npm install tachyons
Install react-coverflow using npm install react-coverflow
