About
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.
The following media sources are currently supported:
- YouTube (individual videos)
- YouTube Playlists
- Vimeo
- Dailymotion
- Soundcloud
- Livestream.com
- Twitch.tv
- Justin.tv
- Ustream
- RTMP livestreams
Installing
Installation instructions for specific distributions are available here: https://github.com/calzoneman/sync/wiki/Installing
This assumes you have Node.JS installed. 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:
- Clone this repository (
git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync
) - cd to the directory containing the source files
- Install your distribution's
libmysqlclient
package. - Install dependencies:
npm install
- Edit
config.js
and input your database details and connection port. Optionally, configure an SMTP transport to use for sending password reset emails (see https://github.com/andris9/Nodemailer). - Edit
www/assets/js/iourl.js
and change the value ofIO_URL
toyourhostname:port
whereport
is the port defined inconfig.js
. Also changeWEB_URL
toyourhostname:web_port
whereweb_port
is the websocket port you defined inconfig.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
