Are there openstream servers providing cached music, or does this use something like youtube-dl or yt-dlp as the backend?
The reason I ask is because I once wrote a program like this called PiTunes - it was never finished it but it was a very similar idea.

techguy16 · 2023-10-18T07:07:07Z

It uses ytdl (a node frontend for YouTube-DL)

EDIT: We don't have servers so it's easier to do it on the client side.

techguy16 · 2023-10-18T07:08:33Z

You could contribute some features from PiTunes if you wanted?

Botspot · 2023-10-18T20:08:42Z

You could contribute some features from PiTunes if you wanted?

PiTunes is all a bash script. Most of the code was to handle a playlist behavior with random ordering, editing, automatically splitting songs based on timestamps found in the description, and allowing manual trimming of each audio segment. It also had a simple scripting language for importing other people's playlists. I doubt any of that could transfer over to a project written in node.

techguy16 · 2023-10-18T20:58:01Z

I was only meaning suggestions. Are you merging or closing?

theofficialgman · 2023-10-19T02:54:40Z

It is a free and open source music streaming service that has no ads or accounts. It uses its own database or YouTube Music's if it doesn't have the song.

To me this sounds like a GUI frontend for piracy. You need to explain what is included in your database, where you steam those files from, and what license you have for that media where applicable.

techguy16 · 2023-10-19T03:11:37Z

You cannot download anything.
They come directly from Google's servers.

What's your opinion on Youtubuddy then? It's the same concept.

theofficialgman · 2023-10-19T03:36:25Z

What's your opinion on Youtubuddy then? It's the same concept.

You did not define what the "own database" is. That is what I was asking about.

Streaming from YouTube using their API is already proven legal (in the US at least) and there isn't any debate about that. I was not asking about that part though.

techguy16 · 2023-10-19T04:08:09Z

It's a json file with links to some mp3s.
It's currently in progress to remove as we now use YT Music.

Botspot · 2023-10-21T06:36:46Z

It seems that user techguy16 is giving us minimal information. (spoonfeeding)
It's okay. You're welcome to go in depth. We can handle it. @techguy16, please explain the full flow of information - like how the user picks songs, how they are served up, how the audio is downloaded, and from where, and how it is stored, and if you have thought through legal implications like the situation youtube-dl had to undergo.

techguy16 · 2023-10-21T07:41:43Z

The user can choose from the "database" JSON that we have (set to be removed soon) on the homepage or search YouTube Music.
It then searches YouTube Music for that song. After that YTDL-Core gets the mp3 url and streams it if the song is clicked. The audio cannot be downloaded from YT Music, so you can only play it.
As of now I'm currently working on scrubbing cache after a song is played.

theofficialgman · 2023-10-21T20:57:28Z

One thing I notice quickly is the ancient version of electron used.
This is very dangerous given that your application loads images and is vulnerable to the webp CVE (and many others)
https://github.com/openstreamorg/openstreammusic/blob/b7a8a108e1d684cb2670da4162358f062539e5a5/desktop/package-lock.json#L4164-L4174

Please use one of the actively supported stable electron releases https://releases.electronjs.org/

techguy16 · 2023-10-22T04:26:28Z

Hey @theofficialgman, in 1.3 I'm updating it to Electron 22 so I can still support Win7 but patch many security issues. (Commit f23ea5a)

And the bit about YouTube-DL and the legal stuff, it's not my problem. If the ytdl-core project dies, the Internet Archive it is.

theofficialgman · 2023-10-22T13:05:00Z

Hey @theofficialgman, in 1.3 I'm updating it to Electron 22 so I can still support Win7 but patch many security issues. (Commit f23ea5a)

22 is also EOL as of 2+ weeks ago so that isn't enough. People have had years of extra time to move off of that platform. Sorry it's time to let that OS support die.

If you want to support windows 7, don't use a browser as your GUI toolkit.

techguy16 · 2023-10-22T18:51:55Z

Supply a separate build for Win7?

Botspot · 2023-10-22T21:47:24Z

Supply a separate build for Win7?

That is up to you, @techguy16.

techguy16 · 2023-10-23T03:17:16Z

What I'm now doing:

Windows 7&8 and 10&11 have a separate build (npm run install-app-deps-win7 for Windows 7 and npm run install-app-deps for 10&11)
Linux uses the latest Electron version.

Please wait until 1.3 is release before merging (only if you are).

techguy16 · 2023-10-23T19:15:16Z

techguy16 · 2023-10-23T19:23:08Z

@theofficialgman it's the homepage for OpenStream, the organization that "owns" OpenStream Music.
It does work by the way.

theofficialgman · 2023-10-23T19:27:55Z

it is a very good and descriptive homepage if it is working as intended

Botspot · 2023-10-23T19:34:42Z

The site is working for me.

Sussy-OS · 2023-10-23T19:39:52Z

It works for me as well. It must be an issue on your end.

theofficialgman · 2023-10-23T19:42:34Z

manually changed to http
got some info

currently on university connection.... I doubt it was manually blocked. Something on their scraper must have found something phishy on the webpage. Was this domain owned before by something else maybe?

Botspot · 2023-10-23T20:21:26Z

@techguy16, I have given OpenStream a try. It looks good in some ways. As a test user, I found some issues and opened some support issues on your github. https://github.com/openstreamorg/openstreammusic/issues

After my review, I concluded that currently OpenStream seems to still be in alpha stage - with significant issues present. My recommendation is to get the app to a high level of "functional" before it is added to the largest ARM Linux app store.

techguy16 · 2023-10-23T22:51:32Z

@Botspot, 2.0 is on the cards, which is a major revamp and fixes lots.
It is designed for Pi 4's and up, even though it runs on my Pi 3B+.
Thank you for your time and trying OpenStream Music. I see some of the issues are quick fixes, so I'll get onto them pretty soon.

Botspot · 2023-12-01T21:32:12Z

@techguy16, have you dropped work on this?

techguy16 · 2023-12-02T07:17:21Z

No, I've just got distracted with other random things 😀 (Such as LinStore, which competes with Pi-Apps, don't get angry)

Botspot · 2024-02-10T22:20:49Z

Should I just go ahead and close this issue then?

techguy16 · 2024-02-11T04:04:53Z

For now, I'll get back eventually (hopefully...)
