dl and play music form youtube in mycroft

MusicSkill

This skill illustrates a very simple general music player. It works by downloading music files from youtube (1st result, can be tunned) and playing with Cvlc

Its intended to be a cheap way to play anything without any account (eg. spotify) or having a music library on disk

Current state

Working features: - Adjust save directory in conf file "MusicSkill": { "save": "/home/user/mycroft-core/mycroft/skills/musicskill/mp3" } - If file already downloaded doesnt download again - would it for some reason be best to have the skill build an intent for each already downloaded song? - blacklist results with terms "live" and "cover" in title

Phrases you can use with this:

• Play "youtube search"
• Youtube "youtube search"

Known issues:

• Random erros downloading, when 1st search result is a playlist?
• Random errors loading file, probably forbidden chars in youtube result name, unsure if fix worked
• Stop isnt working, but i think its my mycroft instance that is broken (doesnt work in any skill)

TODO:

• Maybe converting to mp3 and use playmp3 util function so cvlc is not needed (probably would need lame then)

• Handle queuing up multiple songs

• Refine video search

• Fix know issues

Thanx:

• tried forslunds media skills but they werent good for MY personal use case, so he is the indirect reason of this skill happening
• mycroft et all
• https://github.com/spidezad/Youtube-Videos-Search-and-Download - i stole parts of your code for youtube search :P
