Prototyping project to stream youtube videos to a SONOS device. This project gets the information from youtube based on ID, downloads the video, converts it to MP3 and enables it for SONOS.
npm install
npm run debug
Files downloaded and codec converted are temporarely stored in the /tmp directory. An express server enables this folder over the network.
Sonos will retrieve the file from the web server.
- Streaming videos instead of downloading them 100% first.
- A UI where the user can search for youtube videos and send them to SONOS. Also a progress indication would be nice because some videos (1h or longer) can take some time to download.
- Make basic controls for SONOS to replace the official SONOS connect app.
- Add support for other streaming services preferably Spotify. This would be not that difficult since Sonos can directly accept a spotify URI.
