Kasper Music Player

Why Kasper?
As It is the name of my dog and it rhymes with the iconic app Napster.

It is a music streaming app which allows free music streaming for all and bypasses the youtube music algorithm to work even in restricted countries.

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👆🏻)

UI Refactor(Including Audio Player) -> Add Travis -> Connect a DataBase(FireBase, until a better option available) -> Add API for PlayLists -> Likes -> Support For Different Platforms

Installation

(Back to contents👆🏻)

To start the Flask Server

  • 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 go into server directory using the command 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

  • To run the server, use the command pipenv run python3 server.py

To start the React Frontend

  • Open terminal to get started.

  • To clone the repo, type git clone https://github.com/sansyrox/kasper_music_player.git in your terminal.

  • Then go to the frontend directory using cd kasper_music_player/youtube_mp3_frontend.

  • Install the dependencies using npm install --save

  • Install tachyons using npm install tachyons

  • Install react-coverflow using npm install react-coverflow

  • To start the react app, Use npm start.

  • Now the app would have started on your default browser!!

Tech Stack (Expected)
