Dependencies

Software

• Python
• VLC Media Player

Libraries (or pip installs)

• pip install google-api-python-client
• pip install python-vlc
• pip install youtube-dl
• pip install pafy
• pip install requests
• pip install PySide6 (Warning! May not function properly with Python 3.9.*)

It is recommended to use a virtual environment to organize all the installs. Once you have all the programs and pip modules installed, run the main.py file on your machine. This program sends requests to a YouTube API, therefore the amount of requests per day are limited.

Outro

If we had more time to build onto the project, we would have implemented a previous song button and displayed the result video instead of just the thumbnail. We would have also fixed a known bug where the labels each display the last queued song's values instead of the actual next song's values.
