Based on another project called MusicBot for discord ( https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot ) used to take music suggestions which are then searched for and played from youtube using youtube-dl

Song suggestions are added through a web interface, where the user can also see the playlist, shuffle the playlist or skip the current song

songs can be added through:

• song title (will return the first result in a youtube search
• youtube/soundcloud/bandcamp url (basicly any webpage supported by youtube-dl)
• youtube playlist url (must be main playlist page with playlist in the url)

Other websites supported by youtube-dl may work through adding page urls but this is untested

• screenshot of the web interface

The bot is still under development and has been running successfully on a raspberry pi 3

Below is a guide on how to setup the bot on the pi 3 with a fresh raspbian install

Install git, vlc and python3-pip

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git vlc python3-pip

Reboot the pi

sudo reboot

Clone the repository and move inside the directory

git clone https://github.com/8BitJosh/JukeBot.git
cd ./JukeBot

Install the python dependencies

sudo python3 -m pip install -U -r ./requirements.txt

This command installs the following python modules

• youtube_dl
• flask
• flask_socketio
• eventlet
• python-vlc

To run the bot use the JukeBot script

./JukeBot.sh -h

Append this command with the letter corresponding to the function you want to perform

	-h  Display this help message.
	-f  Open JukeBot in a foreground process and tee output to CMDlog
	-b  Open JukeBot in a background process and redirect output to CMDlog
	-c  View the output log (implicit if no options specified)
	-e  End JukeBot running in a background process
	-l  List running bots

For example to start the bot as a background process run the command

./JukeBot.sh -b

• you can connect to the bot by typing the ip address of the computer running the bot into a web browser on another computer on the same network
• the interface is quite simple at the moment so should be easy enough to work out
• songs can be added through: song title, youtube/soundcloud url or youtube playlist url.

This project is still in development with more features to come
