Usage

Tweet request syntax:

@jukebox_user song name [by artist] [#spotify|#youtube|#soundcloud]

or

@jukebox_user [link to a spotify, youtube or soundcloud music]

• search will play the first result found for the query
• artist is optional, but can help to search the right song
• you can restrict the search to a specific source by using the hashtag with source name
• if no music #source is specified, it will play the first result found on Spotify, then Youtube, then Soundcloud

A pre-configured admin user can send DM messages to jukebos user to #play, #pause, #next (skip song).

Resources needed

• Mopidy music server
• Mopidy Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud plugins
• Node.js
• Twitter REST and Streaming API
• Raspberry Pi
• Network access (via ethernet or wifi)

You can run on any device and OS that supports these softwares. I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi
