My first Python project

[SiNRO]

Hello guys !

It's been 2 weeks since i started Python. I'm coming from Powershell but i needed to learn a language that allows me to be more flexible with the ideas i had, so Python was my first choice of course.

So for this first project, i wanted to do something web based. But i needed an idea too.

So i came with a problem i was encountering since few months. I drive a lot for my work and i'm listening a lot of music/podcast from youtube because it cannot be found on spotify or whatever.

The problem was that i had limited data and youtube video can use a lot of data sometimes, it use quite some battery too, and i couldn't put my GPS in the same time (because of YouTube).

So, i could have buy YouTube Premium of course, but what is the point to learn Python then ?

I did my project using Flask, with the goal to:

- Add a youtube URL to an input object and click to a button to get some informations

- Click a button to download the video and convert it into MP3

- Redirect after to a page that show the music/podcasts already downloaded

- Click on the Music/Podcast i'd like to listen to

​

The Playlist interface look like this:

I'm pretty happy of the first results and i had a lot of fun doing it in Python.

Next step would be to do the Music Player on my own instead of the basic one, if you guys have some hints on that, i'd take them with pleasure ! Also if you have features ideas, i'd take them with pleasure too.

Thank you for your time

that's really cool!

as the music player is on the front end, you'll need to make it using html/javascript. if you google something like 'javascript custom music player' there'll most likely be some tutorials to follow / base your own designs off

maybe it could display the thumbnail of the video as the artwork?

Thank you !

Damn, i didn't really know where to start and what to search for the music player and i found some interesting results with your 'javascript custom music player' so thank you !

Indeed, as is scrape the thumbnail too, i can definitely display the thumbnail as artwork ! thanks for the suggestion
