Python Youtube Player

Python project to play YouTube videos through a multi-clint server and receive commands over the network

This is a python project that uses both pafy and vlc libraries to stream videos from Youtube. It is the final project for the class EE810 - Engineering Programming: Python at Stevens Institute of Technology.

• Multiclient - let everyone in the network add their music to your play-list
• Play-list Management - add, pause and skip any music on your play-list
• Ad-Free

In order to run this project, you need to install vlc (and plugins), youtube-dl and pafy. Run the following lines:

$ sudo apt-get install vlc
$ sudo apt-get install vlc-plugin-*
$ sudo pip install youtube_dl
$ sudo pip install pafy

See the following links for further information on the installation process:

• Pafy Repository
• VLC Bindings

####Running the Server Just run the server script, assigning a hostname and a port to it.

usage: 
$ python server.py [hostname] [port]

example: 
$ python server.py localhost 9999

####Running the Client First, run the client script, assigning a hostname and a port to it.

usage: 
$ python client.py [hostname] [port]

example: 
$ python client.py localhost 9999

This will initialize the client and open a command prompt. The following commands are accepted:

• /play
• /pause
• /next
• /add [YOUTUBE URL]
• /search [KEYWORDS]
• /nowplaying
• /playlist
• /queue

See the example:

$ python client.py localhost 9999
