CyTube (formerly Sync) is a server/client combination providing media synchronization, chat,
|
|
|
|
|
and administration for an arbitrary number of channels.
|
|
|
|
|
I began developing this as a hobby project, and when Synchtube announced their closure, I
|
|
|
|
|
began polishing it and readying it for the public.

I am hosting a CyTube server at http://cytu.be

The serverside is written in JavaScript and runs on Node.JS. It makes use
|
|
|
|
|
of a MySQL database to store user registrations, cached media metadata, and
|
|
|
|
|
data about each channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The clientside is written in JavaScript and makes use of Socket.IO and
|

|
|
|
jQuery as well as the APIs for various media providers.
|
|
|
|
|
The web interface uses Bootstrap for layout and styling.

Installation instructions for specific distributions are available here: https://github.com/calzoneman/sync/wiki/Installing
|

|
|
This assumes you have Node.JS installed.
|
2013-04-09 21:44:47 +00:00
|
|
|
I'm using v0.10, please feel free to report which versions do/do not work.
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend using at least v0.8.20 due to a bug in previous versions of node
|
|
|
|
|
that caused sketchy client connections to crash the server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First install MySQL on the server. There are many online tutorials for setting up MySQL on
|
|
|
|
|
various operating systems.
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend installing phpMyAdmin so that you have a nice database administration interface.
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new user and database, and make sure the user has full permissions for the database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, follow these instructions to install CyTube:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repository (`git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync`)
|
|
|
|
|
2. cd to the directory containing the source files
|

|
|
|
3. Install your distribution's `libmysqlclient` package.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Install dependencies: `npm install`
|
2013-04-09 21:44:47 +00:00
|
|
|
4. Edit `config.js` and input your database details and connection port
|
|
|
|
|
5. Edit `www/assets/js/iourl.js` and change the value of `IO_URL` to `yourhostname:port` where `port` is the port defined in `config.js`
|
|
|

Running
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start the server: `node server.js`
|
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to connect via `yourhostname:port` where `port` is
|
|
|
|
|
the port you defined in config.js
|
|
