• Built-in vote-skipping.
• Built-in caching system (disabled by default).
• Built-in play/pause/volume control.

Installation

IMPORTANT NOTE: MumbleDJ is only tested and developed for Linux systems. Support will not be given for non-Linux systems if problems are encountered.

Requirements

All MumbleDJ installations must also have the following installed:

• youtube-dl
• ffmpeg OR avconv
• aria2 if you plan on using services that throttle download speeds (like Mixcloud)

If installing via go install or from source, the following must be installed:

• Go 1.5+
  • NOTE: Extra installation steps are required for a working Go installation. Once Go is installed, type go help gopath for more information.

YouTube API Key

A YouTube API key must be present in your configuration file in order to use the YouTube service within the bot. Below is a guide for retrieving an API key:

1) Navigate to the Google Developers Console and sign in with your Google account, or create one if you haven't already.

2) Click the "Create Project" button and give your project a name. It doesn't matter what you set your project name to. Once you have a name click the "Create" button. You should be redirected to your new project once it's ready.

3) Click on "APIs & auth" on the sidebar, and then click APIs. Under the "YouTube APIs" header, click "YouTube Data API". Click on the "Enable API" button.

4) Click on the "Credentials" option underneath "APIs & auth" on the sidebar. Underneath "Public API access" click on "Create New Key". Choose the "Server key" option.

5) Add the IP address of the machine MumbleDJ will run on in the box that appears (this is optional, but improves security). Click "Create".

6) You should now see that an API key has been generated. Copy/paste this API key into the configuration file located at $HOME/.config/mumbledj/mumbledj.yaml.

SoundCloud API Key

A SoundCloud client ID must be present in your configuration file in order to use the SoundCloud service within the bot. Below is a guide for retrieving a client ID:

1) Login/sign up for a SoundCloud account on https://soundcloud.com.

2) Create a new app: https://soundcloud.com/you/apps/new.

3) You should now see that a client ID has been generated. Copy/paste this ID (NOT the client secret) into the configuration file located at $HOME/.config/mumbledj/mumbledj.yaml.

Via go install (recommended)

After verifying that the requirements are installed, simply issue the following command:

go install github.com/matthieugrieger/mumbledj

This will place a binary in $GOPATH/bin that can be used to start the bot.

NOTE: If using Go 1.5, you MUST execute the following for go install to work:

export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1

Pre-compiled Binaries (easiest)

Pre-compiled binaries are provided for convenience. Overall, I do not recommend using these unless you cannot get go install to work properly. Binaries compiled on your own machine are likely more efficient as these binaries are cross-compiled from a 64-bit Linux system.

After verifying that the requirements are installed, simply visit the releases page and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

From Source

First, clone the MumbleDJ repository to your machine:

git clone https://github.com/matthieugrieger/mumbledj.git

Install the required software as described in the requirements section, and execute the following:

make

This will place a compiled mumbledj binary in the cloned directory if successful. If you would like to make the binary more accessible by adding it to /usr/local/bin, simply execute the following:

sudo make install
