An open-source Python Online Music Player 🎵

About CodTubify 🎵 - An Online Music Player

CodTubify is a Music Player project, fully developed in Python. It can Play your favorite Songs or any Youtube Playlist without any interruption.

Requirements

• Operation system: Windows
• Python Version: 3.9.x

Required Modules

• Refer to requirements.txt
• Use the package manager pip to install all the Required Modules.

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Required Audio PostProcessors

• FFMPEG AND FFPROBE ( just download the EXE's from the given link and extract them in "src/backend/Download_process/" before starting the application)
• Or refer to IMPORTANT.md

The Purpose

The purpose of this project really was to create an application that used a song-name/title or any Youtube URL as an input and downloads a MP3 copy of the desired user input, it then works as a Normal Audio player and basically plays the downloaded Audio, contrary to popular belief of streaming Music instead.

Technologies

• Python (basically to create everything init)
• Audio PostProcessors (Audio files conversions)
• GitHub (Proejct and Issues)

Significant Changes

This project required me to utilize many different aspects of what I learned so far in the last 2 Months. I incorporated Modules like yt-dlp and pygame to assist in Downloading Audio Files and Playing them respectively. Instead of traditional Object-oriented way of Programming in tkinter (using CLASSES etc) , i tried to make things as simple as Possible.

Challenges

• There were significant challenges on this project that had a lot to do with traversing the unknown. Firstly, after i decided NOT to use the Object-oriented Programming approach for the GUI. For a while i was left Confused, because it was not one single gui i was working with, it was a group of many Nested GUI's combined together. though after waiting for someone to answer my questions on stackoverflow (which no one did to this date). I started figuring it out in my Way, Hopefully i was Able to Link all the GUI's with each other. (probably after creating a lot of mess in the code)
• Once i completed the GUI, the second problem which i was encountering was that the audio file downloaded using yt-dlp wasn't really an audio file, so i had to Convert the Downloaded File into a .mp3 using PostProcessors Such as : FFMPEG/FFPROBE , so that they become playable with pygame.
• There were plently Other challenges which i also faced while Making this, but i'll keep them for some other day.

Things To Consider

The Directory's are a little Messed up, so in order to Run the Application smoothly, please Follow the Steps below.

• After Cloning, your folder should look something like Codtubify-main
• open the main folder and run Command Prompt in that location
• Now in Command Prompt Give the Following Command : python src/app.py

codtubify's Issues

Update Current GUI

Currently, the GUIs are hardcoded to overlap each other, which creates a messy user experience. To improve this, I propose implementing proper class structures and utilizing tkinter's TopLevel widget for managing multiple interfaces.

Additionally, the aesthetics of the GUI need refinement. The rounded borders were chosen randomly by me, resulting in a less-than-appealing design. Therefore, a makeover of the GUI is necessary.

Tasks

• #11
• #12

Refactor GUI implementation to use proper classes and tkinter TopLevel for managing multiple interfaces.

Redesign GUI to improve aesthetics, ensuring a visually pleasing user interface.

Broken logic for mediaPlayer

Maybe I overdid it, that's why it doesn't work. I think the entire directory /mediaPlayer needs to be rewritten.

BUG

Exposed Directory's in song_downloader.py and playlist_downloader.py at line 10 in the Download_process Folder.

this is how that line looks like :
'ffmpeg_location': 'C:/Users/User/Desktop/Codtubify/src/backend/Download_process/ffmpeg.exe'}

i don't know if changing this just to : 'ffmpeg_location': 'src/backend/Download_process/ffmpeg.exe' would work?

Playing playlist in a loop

I think I forgot to write the logic for playing a playlist in the loop, though I remember adding a self.loop var in mediaManager.py
Once am finished with the GUI, I'll handle this issue.
