COMMANDS

These are all of the chat commands currently supported by MumbleDJ. All command names and command prefixes may be changed in ~/.mumbledj/config/mumbledj.gcfg.

Command	Description	Arguments	Admin	Example
add	Adds a YouTube video's audio to the song queue. If no songs are currently in the queue, the audio will begin playing immediately. YouTube playlists may also be added using this command. Please note, however, that if a YouTube playlist contains over 25 videos only the first 25 videos will be placed in the song queue.	youtube_video_url OR youtube_playlist_url	No	!add https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xfEr2Oxdys
skip	Submits a vote to skip the current song. Once the skip ratio target (specified in mumbledj.gcfg) is met, the song will be skipped and the next will start playing. Each user may only submit one skip per song.	None	No	!skip
skipplaylist	Submits a vote to skip the current playlist. Once the skip ratio target (specified in mumbledj.gcfg) is met, the playlist will be skipped and the next song/playlist will start playing. Each user may only submit one skip per playlist.	None	No	!skipplaylist
forceskip	An admin command that forces a song skip.	None	Yes	!forceskip
forceskipplaylist	An admin command that forces a playlist skip.	None	Yes	!forceskipplaylist
help	Displays this list of commands in Mumble chat.	None	No	!help
volume	Either outputs the current volume or changes the current volume. If desired volume is not provided, the current volume will be displayed in chat. Otherwise, the volume for the bot will be changed to desired volume if it is within the allowed volume range.	None OR desired volume	No	!volume 0.5, !volume
move	Moves MumbleDJ into channel if it exists.	Channel	Yes	!move Music
reload	Reloads mumbledj.gcfg to retrieve updated configuration settings.	None	Yes	!reload
reset	Stops all audio and resets the song queue.	None	Yes	!reset
numsongs	Outputs the number of songs in the queue in chat. Individual songs and songs within playlists are both counted.	None	No	!numsongs

numcached	Outputs the number of songs currently cached on disk.	None	Yes	!numcached
cachesize	Outputs the total file size of the cache in MB.	None	Yes	!cachesize
kill	Safely cleans the bot environment and disconnects from the server. Please use this command to stop the bot instead of force closing, as the kill command deletes any remaining songs in the ~/.mumbledj/songs directory.	None	Yes	!kill

INSTALLATION

Installation for v2 of MumbleDJ is much easier than it was before, due to the reduced dependency list and a Makefile which automates some of the process.

NOTE: This bot was designed for use on Linux machines. If you wish to run the bot on another OS, it will require tweaking and is not something I will be able to help with.
NOTE #2: Your Mumble server MUST be using the Opus audio codec, not CELT. Audio will not play if your server uses CELT.

###SETUP GUIDE
1) Install and correctly configure Go (1.3 or higher). Specifically, make sure to follow this guide and set the GOPATH environment variable properly.

2) Install ffmpeg and mercurial if they are not already installed on your system. Also be sure that you have opus and its development headers installed on your system, as well as openal (check your distributions repo for the package name).

3) Install youtube-dl. It is recommended to install youtube-dl through the method described on the linked GitHub page, rather than installing through a distribution repository. This ensures that you get the most up-to-date version of youtube-dl.

4) If you wish to install MumbleDJ without any further root privileges, make sure that ~/bin exists and is added to your $PATH. If this step is not done, the Makefile will place the MumbleDJ binary in /usr/local/bin instead, which requires root privileges.

5) Clone the MumbleDJ repository or download the latest release.

6) cd into the MumbleDJ repository directory and execute the following commands:

$ make
$ make install

7) Edit ~/.mumbledj/config/mumbledj.gcfg to your liking. This file will be overwritten if the config file structure is changed in a commit, but a backup is always stored at ~/.mumbledj/config/mumbledj_backup.gcfg.

8) Execute the command shown at the top of this README document with your credentials, and the bot should be up and running!

Recommended, but not required: Set opusthreshold=0 in /etc/mumble-server.ini or /etc/murmur.ini. This will force the server to always use the Opus audio codec, which is the only codec that MumbleDJ supports.

###UPDATE GUIDE 1) git pull or download the latest release.

2) Issue the following commands within your updated MumbleDJ directory:

$ make clean
$ make
$ make install

NOTE: It is very important that you use make instead of make build when updating MumbleDJ as the first option will grab the latest updates from MumbleDJ's dependencies.

3) Check to make sure your configuration in ~/.mumbledj/config/mumbledj.gcfg is the same as before. If it is back to the default, a backup should have been created at ~/.mumbledj/config/mumbledj_backup.gcfg so you can copy the values back over.
