SSL support through a different app. Okay! Will have to finally begin using Nginx then. Good opportunity to learn something new.

#52So it can only play a handful of the most popular formats and it requires a metric ton of dependencies. Why are you not using ffmpeg? It can handle decoding, encoding, streaming, tagging, filtering and output without any external libraries.
This is a great question. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer, at least from a technical standpoint. ffmpeg is super stable, battle tested, and does just about everything. I think there were a couple reasons we (myself and the original developers) didn't go with ffmpeg initially: (1) we really wanted to learn how to build a medium-sized C++ app from scratch. Passing everything through to ffmpeg sounded boring. (…

I tried to write a beets implementation, I got rather far but it was cumbersome because beets is more of a library manager than a playlist manager. That meant it lacked playlist functionality, which meant I'd have to write my own playlist manager, which was quite a bit more work than just the import/export plugin :/

#54Too bad it doesn't do youtube. Anyone knows of a cli app that can play local files as well as youtube?

#55For each cool app like this or terminal based chat apps or terminal slack that's another 2.4mb just for overhead! I'm looking at my process monitor right now and I have 250, 250mb, allocated to terminal apps. It's insane!

#57The thing that really chaps my hide about the proliferation of these terminal based apps is that now I have all these terminal instances open.

Wouldn't a GUI app have much, much more overhead though? Right now, the _Dock_ on my laptop is taking ~250MB on its own. A simple app that allows me to control when my monitors sleep is another 100MB. Both of those are way more that a simple terminal instance of 2.4MB.

I don't know about local files, but mpsyt is great for listening to music on YouTube.
I would have hoped there's a program that can do both.
