I've built a jukebox on top of lightning

9003 sats \ 44 comments \ @pycan 25 Oct 2023 bitcoin

Hello,

about 2 weeks ago I wrote here about my intention of building a jukebox on top of lightning. Here I am with the version 1:

https://ln-jukebox.com

I also promised to open source the code. If interested, have a look at the implementation. It's not very polished yet but I had a lot of fun building and using Svelte for the first time.

I've got more plans with the project. Two main features I'd like to add are global chat (so that you can talk to fellow bitcoiners while listening) and rooms (so that you can share playlist with your friends).

Please note that there might be bugs and not everything working as expected. You can report anything not working here or to the repository.

Anyway, let me know what you think and happy listening!

I've noticed the song loading is a bit slow under the load. Optimizations coming soon!

@NoderunnersFM builds something similar! https://jukebox.lighting

Interesting. Nice to see others mess about with sats and music.

Doesn't seem to work though? It is not generating an invoioice nor loading the music?

Would be nice if you could take a look at how to integrate this into our current jukebox here: https://github.com/LightningJukeboxBot

You may test ours via https://t.me/noderunnersradio Or the web-interface: https://jukebox.lighting/jukebox/web/-1001672416970

Listen via https://radio.noderunners.org

Hey, I've checked your jukebox and it looks great. I still wanted to build mine, though, kind of a challenge :)

What device and browser are you using? From what i've heard, it should be working more or less. But I wouldn't be surprised there were no issues, it's only the first version!

63 sats \ 2 replies \ @Zepasta 25 Oct 2023

Took a few long seconds for the song to start playing on my browser.

Hey, thanks for trying out! I've noticed it as well. Sometimes longer songs are 1.8 MB and short songs are 15 MB. It's quite unpredictable from youtube.

I'll look into optimizations tomorrow.

Same. Like, minutes -- I was trying to figure out if I was missing something, and then it finally worked.

Looks great!.. Lets add some decent tracks!

Just tested. This is rad!

Thanks a ton! I'll iterate from here and improve.

You're very welcome buddy. You're doing a great job.

Player control like volume and play/pause would be nice

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @pycan OP 26 Oct 2023

Volume is the highest on my TODO list, coming soon.

I see that more sats give you a higher position on the queue.

What happens when there's a tie?

Say the top song is at 100 sats, if I send another one with also 100 sats, will it be on top or second?

Also, you could just spam it with a massive amount of 1 sat "songs", so maybe add some checks for that

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @pycan OP 26 Oct 2023

Great point. The secondary ordering rule is date. So when you spend the same amount as an item already in queue, you'll be behind that queue item.

The project aims to be as open as possible, so even 1 sat songs are fine!

I know a blog that has a lot of daily visitors and have a pub-topic where visitors post comments with yt links with music. This would be a great replacement.

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @pycan OP 26 Oct 2023

Great! Or they could just embed the jukebox on the blog :D

42 sats \ 0 replies \ @knorozov 26 Oct 2023

Yeah something like that. I sometimes speak to someone involved, I will bring it up.

But now I'm thinking, they will definitely run into some legal issues.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @Scholarhacker 26 Oct 2023

Very cool concept.

Thank you!

Ive seen various representations of this but its nice to see on lightning. A feature I think would be great is rooms. Allowing different people to log in and play different lists.

also, the ability to reject a song. No one wants aqua barbie girl at an EDM party. If song is rejected, a refund is made.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @pycan OP 26 Oct 2023

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to think about rejecting a song but rooms are quite high on my TODO list. Coming soon!

Could you maybe add a counter which shows how many people are on the website/listening right now?

Great idea!

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @03ad2d9f05 28 Oct 2023

This is really a great project. Love it. Would be awesome if you could add a live chatbox as well where we can log-in via lightning or nostr.

Thank you! This is exactly something that is coming soon!

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @stargut 26 Oct 2023

nice! I think it would be nice if you could see your position in the queue after you pay and also estimate your position for a given amount

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @pycan OP 28 Oct 2023

hello, it shows you that information when you add an item :)

is there an upper limit on the time of videos that can be added? i just envision someone having a ten hour video playing of something stupid.
