- # MMPC2
-
- The second version of Mort's Media PC.
-
- ## Goal
-
- MMPC2 is meant to be running constantly on a HTPC, letting you stream media to
- a TV and control the playback remotely, all through a web interface. It allows
- you to stream three kinds of movies:
-
- * URLs - YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, plain HTTP streams, anything supported by
- mpv and youtube-dl.
- * Magnet Links - Stream any torrent.
- * Files - Upload files and have them play.
-
- For magnet links and files, subtitles will automatically be downloaded if you
- want and subtitles exist for it in OpenSubtitles.
-
- ## Installation
-
- Install git, a recent version of node, and npm, clone the repository, run `npm
- install`, copy `conf.json.example` to `conf.json`, and run `node server.js`.
-
- git clone https://github.com/mortie/mmpc2.git
- cd mmpc2
- npm install
- cp conf.json.example
- node server.js
-
- ### Getting a recent version of node.js
-
- Many distros ship old versions of node, which won't work with MMPC2. To fix
- this, install node.js and npm (`sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy npm` on
- Debian and Ubuntu), then install `n` and install a new version of node with
- that.
-
- sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy npm
- sudo npm install -g n
- sudo n stable
-
- With rolling release distros, the version of node in the package manager will
- generally be new enough - e.g `sudo pacman -S npm node` in arch is enough.
-
- ### Getting a recent version of mpv
-
- MMPC2 requires a relatively new version of mpv, newer than what's currently in
- Debian and Ubuntu. For Ubuntu, you could just add this ppa to your system:
- https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/Ubuntu/mpv-tests
-
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/mpv-tests
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install mpv
-
- For Debian, you will probably have to either use the testing repositories to
- install mpv, get some binary from somewhere, or compile it from source. I
- compiled from source when installing it on the Debian stable (jessie), and the
- instructions are a bit too long to include here, but you can get the source
- from here: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases/latest and get the source
- there. Make sure to compile with luajit support for youtube-dl, and libpulse
- for pulseaudio (if you use that).
-
- ### Getting a recent version of youtbe-dl
-
- Debian may ship a version of youtube-dl that's so old it doesn't really work
- anymore - I had that problem with my Debian box. To fix that, uninstall
- youtube-dl if you installed with apt-get (`apt-get remove youtube-dl`), and
- install it through pip (installing pip if necessary)
-
- sudo apt-get install python-pip
- sudo pip install youtube-dl
-
- ## Configuration
-
- `conf.json` contains a couple of configuration options (assuming you copied
- `conf.json.example` to `conf.json`). These are:
-
- {
- "tmpdir": String. The directory to store temporary files in.
- Default: "tmp"
-
- "subtitles": String (or false). The language code for the subtitles,
- or false for no subtitles. Default: "en" (english).
-
- "additional_links": Array of objects which look like this:
- { "name": "some name", "url": "some URL" }
- Lets you add more parts to the index page. I use it to link to an
- instance of guacamole, a web based VNC client.
- ( https://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/ )
- }
