D++ Local Music Bot (Pickle Rick)

This is a basic streaming bot for Discord powered by the D++ library which streams a local MP3 collection from a directory. It has a secific use case and there are no plans to add streaming of YouTube etc to this bot (but you can fork this project and do what you want with it).

Compilation

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j

If DPP is installed in a different location you can specify the root directory to look in while running cmake

cmake .. -DDPP_ROOT_DIR=<your-path>

Running the template bot

Create a config.json in the directory above the build directory:

{
"token": "your bot token here", 
"homedir": "/path/to/mp3s",
"homeserver": "server id of server where the bot should run"
}

You should then make a file called songindex.txt within the mp3 directory which contains a list of relative filenames of all MP3 files within that directory. You can build such a file with a command like cd /path/to/mp3s; find . -name '*.mp3'. When the bot is running, updating this text file immediately updates the index of available songs.

Start the bot:

cd build
./musicbot
