MumbleDJ

A Mumble bot that plays music fetched from YouTube videos.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you were using the Lua version of MumbleDJ previously, you will need to follow the installation guide once more to install new dependencies.

USAGE

$ mumbledj -server=localhost -port=64738 -username=MumbleDJ -password="" -channel=root
All parameters are optional, the example above shows the default values for each field.

COMMANDS

These are all of the chat commands currently supported by MumbleDJ. All command names and command prefixes may be changed in mumbledj.gcfg. All fields surrounded by <> indicate fields that must be supplied to the bot for the command to execute. All fields surrounded by <>? are optional fields.

####!add <youtube_url> Adds a YouTube video's audio to the song queue. If no songs are currently in the queue, the audio will begin playing immediately.

####!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.

####!forceskip An admin command that forces a song skip.

####!volume <desired_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.

####!move <channel> Moves MumbleDJ into channel if it exists.

####!reload Reloads mumbledj.gcfg to retrieve updated configuration settings.

####!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.

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.

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.

3) Install youtube-dl.

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

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

$ make install_deps
$ make
$ make install

5) 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.

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