juicebox is a simple media server that can play audio from various sources.

It is as server that exposes functions and data over HTTP.
Put it in your bathtub, wagon, boombox or other music vehicle of choice.
Plugin-based url processing system that converts uri to audio.

• all communication with the server relies on json
• looping play queue, exposed as a RESTful resource
• play audio from your local library, bandcamp, youtube and piratradio

1 either ffplay or avplay installed and on path.
2 nodejs and npm: download
3 which unix tool

avconv example install on ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libav-tools

installing juicebox itself is simple:

• git clone https://github.com/murlocbrand/juicebox.git
• cd juicebox && npm install

before running, check out the config.toml file and make edits if you want.
the config file should be fairly self-explaining and have sensible defaults.

run juicebox: cd juicebox && node ./index.js

the index page (/) contains some controls for easy control.

juicebox serves a status page at localhost:8888/status
