fediplay

A Mastodon client that automatically plays your friends' music as they toot links to it.

Getting started

fediplay comes configured to use ffplay from FFmpeg 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.
On Windows, ffplay is part of the Scoop ffmpeg package.

Edit .env and set FEDIPLAY_API_BASE_URL to your Mastodon instance.

Use pipenv install from Pipenv to install the Python dependencies.

Use pipenv run python -m fediplay 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 can play, will!

If new #fediplay toots come in while music is playing, they'll be downloaded immediately and queued to be played later.
