NewPipeExtractor VS MusicBot

There's this thing called NewPipeExtractor, which scrapes a lot of details from YouTube like videos, comments, and channels. But using it is a bit of a hassle since it requires implementing some abstract class, and its documentation is hard to understand.

For example there is https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor which allows downloading videos. there is https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts which activates Windows, I have tried and it works.

As for native support, it seems the issue for it exists but is pretty quiet so you may want to subscribe to it or lobby for some progress: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/690

See https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/8837 and https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/pull/904 for pull requests with this feature. The extractor PR is also needed for LibreTube (as LibreTube depends on Piped which depends on our extractor).

For an example the youtube/streaming front-end android client NewPipe and its associated "backend" NewPipeExtractor has a lot of machinary to emulate what javascript does in your browser when you ask it to play a video/stream from various websites (most notably youtube). It does take a lot of effort, which is why it often goes into periods of quiet development as the previous maintainers burn-out and new ones take over. But it isnt impossible, but modern websites do not let go of thier content easily. Also note that even this is only read-only, there isnt a mechanism to allow you to post.

NewPipe Team's commits were crucially helpful in resolving the issue. TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#960 (https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/pull/960) THANKS SO MUCH, NEWPIPE TEAM!

You should indeed see them, that's a bug. I opened a new issue for this with some technical details: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1017.

I have a question. Can someone help me with setting the JMusicBot up on my Raspberry Pi. I already set it up on my Windows pc, but it can't run 24/7, so I was hoping someone could help me set this thing up on my Raspberry Pi. Here is some info: https://jmusicbot.com/ https://github.com/jagrosh/MusicBot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyOuyCzeEPo&t=483s&pp=ygUJam11c2ljYm90 Please, if anyone knows how I could set this up, please HELP ME. Thanks!

JMusicBot is simple and easy, doesn't require docker. You just plop it in a directory somewhere in a VPS, download the requirements and run it as a service.

Fwiw there's some self-hosted discord music bots you can use as well - https://github.com/jagrosh/MusicBot

https://github.com/jagrosh/MusicBot Simple music bot that you can run on your computer by yourself

Hey guys! I built a Docker container for jagrosh's Discord bot as I noticed that he didn't have it as once of his hosting options.

Hey guys! I created a Docker container that hosts [Jagrosh's](https://github.com/jagrosh/MusicBot) music bot and made it so that you can easily pass the parameters for the owner ID, the bot's token, and the preferred prefix. As long as you have docker you can have the bot running in seconds.

I've started using Jmusicbot. It's a bit tricky to setup and get running, but its reliable and pretty easy to work with once it's going!

I use JMusic Bot, it's self hosted but works perfectly https://jmusicbot.com/

Have you tried this one https://jmusicbot.com/ I have it stream local files without any problems.
