# fediplay
A Mastodon client that automatically plays your friends' music as they toot links to it.
## Getting started
You'll need `ffplay` from [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) to actually play music.
On macOS, `ffplay` is part of the Homebrew ffmpeg package, but you need to build it with `brew install ffmpeg --with-sdl2`.
Use `pipenv install` from [Pipenv](https://docs.pipenv.org/) to install the Python dependencies, then edit `stream` so it points to your Mastodon instance.
## Streaming
Use `pipenv run ./stream` to start the stream. You'll need to log in the first time.
Toots that include the hashtag #fediplay and have as their first link something that [youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/) can play, will!
If new #fediplay toots come in while music is playing, they'll be downloaded immediately and queued to be played later.
