Show HN: Yami – An Open Source Music Player with Spotdl Integration

[DevER-M]

This is my high school project btw, i would like some feedback as well as some feature requests it is also available on pypi https://pypi.org/project/yami-music-player/

Having some issues with it, but might be my error ;) The pip-installed (in a venv) version will complain about missing data/theme.json, and then crash. So then I did the git-clone, pip-install variant, that starts. Interface is very minimal. After pointing it to my sshfs mount (~/mnt/Audio), it will list directories, but won't find a single file, strange.

Copy the an directory of audiofiles to /tmp, browse there, it works. Very strange.

It's always hip to have some random Japanese word as the name.

Why not Korean or Chinese?

Are you using the official API’s for Spotify, etc or something like a headless browser for streaming?

Nice job, I can’t imagine making something with this level of finish when I was in high school.

[DevER-M]

nope this only gets the metadata such as the cover art from spotify and the music is from youtube music thank you so much!

[metmac]

Very nice. You could throw this on a Spotify Car thing.

Would love to see this land on a Pi Zero 2 inside a husked out iPod classic and a skinable UI to boot.

@gvy_dvpont (@dupontgu ?), did this a few years ago back with a Pi Zero one, but I believe the project has suffered a bit from hardware compatibility decay.

Naive question, shouldn't it be `pipx install yami-music-player` since it's an application and not a library?

[rovr138]

Can you use pipx? Yes.

If you have pipx, should you use it? Yes.

If you don’t, do you need it? No.

Pipx is a tool that, while nice, it’s not required. Most people will have pip if they have Python but not pipx.

Wow I just checked out what spotdl does, had never heard of it before. Pretty darn cool! Is there a similar tool that can do the same but instead of for Spotify, for actual YT playlists or actual albums from YT music?

[igniuss]

Checkout yt-dlp(1)

It's a continuation of yt-dl

Both VinylPlayer, Foss on fdroid, and Symfonium, commercial/ paid with free trial, have worked for me.

VinylPlayer even has the ability to edit Metadata of titles with multiple artists.

can you give me some feedback if you'd like!

[raffraffraff]

I assumed positive intent when you said "cool" but the academic dissection of your use of the ellipsis makes me feel like a simpleton. I'm tired of this combative shit HN.
