# apt-get on Debians/Ubuntus,
# but it should be similar for other distributions
apt-get install vlc     # for vlc
apt-get install mplayer # for mplayer

dizzay's Issues

use plug-login + plug-socket

An in-range update of miniplug is breaking the build 🚨

Version 1.6.1 of miniplug just got published.

Branch	Build failing 🚨
Dependency	miniplug
Current Version	1.6.0
Type	dependency

This version is covered by your current version range and after updating it in your project the build failed.

As miniplug is a direct dependency of this project this is very likely breaking your project right now. If other packages depend on you it’s very likely also breaking them.
I recommend you give this issue a very high priority. I’m sure you can resolve this 💪

To reproduce

• Start dizzay
• Choose a track on your playlist that play an unavailable youtube video

Stream to HLS server

Would make it work with any player. ✨

Use ytdl to get stream URLs

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ytdl-core

These stream URLs should then be passed to mplayer and vlc raw, so they can deal with playing the right parts.

Currently seeking is terrible mostly because the full video is piped into the player from start to finish. mplayer and VLC both can seek in HTTP video streams, so we should take advantage of that.
