Investigate straming music from backend

[IronicUsername]

Goal
Know how to go about streaming audio for a channel.

Context
What is a tv channel without audio?
With this we want to investigate how we are going to implement the background audio streaming.

Tasks

• Check following questions:
  • Stream from Spotify?
  • Stream from YouTube?
  • Download current + next song on server, serve that file on a websocket and remove after its been played. Good idea?
• pls conciser following things for making a decision:
  • accessibility for the tracks | easily change songs over a gui or something?
  • space on disk
  • legality
  • come up with other aspects if i missed something here

Streaming from YouTube:

This might be a good option to create a private/public playlist on YouTube which could serve as an "radio channel" for the music.

Here a small sketch of how that could look like.

Because of YouTube being so generous and kind, they removed the dislike button which makes pafy useless atm.
There is already a PR for it, but i guess this will take time to get merged since the whole project seems to be a bit unmaintained (last commit 9 months ago).

Keep an 👁️ out for updates!
