Server for sharing, listening and freaking out about music.
Well, sad thing is there is none yet. We plan to start hack on this during summer. But we thought we publish README now.
We actually didn't come up with this briliant idea. But we stole it from Zach Holman and other GitHub folks. They built very similar thing as their free time hacking project and open-sourced it here. So go and check them out.
Problem is, they wrote it for Apple Mini and we don't have Apple machine. So we decided to write our own for Linux. And we also wanted to learn Python and other awesome stuff.
This is your own music streaming server for your home, work, school radio or whenever you want. Well, we probably wouldn't use it as school radio, but you' ve got idea. :)
We use VLC to play music on server and libvlc binding for controlling player via REST api. We use GitHub organizations API and OAuth for authentication.
In future we would like to use Pusher for notifications and other useful stuff.
We are bunch of friends, who study at Brno, Czech Republic. Our first app was school project called Drunken Panda. I know very cool name. :) It is simple (so far) app about beer. And after that we decided to work on other fun projects together and this is one of them.
And you can quite often meet us in different pubs around town.
Right now, there is not much to set up. But as projects grows up, we will try to add all
configuration stuff to script/bootstrap.sh
. So you just run this script and you are good to go.
Just sent us pull request or create issue.
