Drop Radio is a live, endless, variable-quality multi-stream of the complete recordings of Drop Ceiling.

Drop Radio is an NX monorepo hosted on GitHub. For proper maintenance, first clone the repository locally and then install its dependencies with npm:

git clone https://github.com/resisttheurge/drop-radio.git
cd drop-radio
npm install
Copy

Now, you should be able to explore the project and its modules using nx's commandline tools:

npx nx graph # open live project dependency graph view
npx nx g @nx/node:library # interactively generate a new library module
npx nx affected -t lint test build e2e -c test # lint, test, build, and run e2e tests affected by code changes
npx nx docs # generate the docsite
Copy

Here's what you can do right now

Run the stream server

To run the server locally, add an .local.env file to the apps/server folder with some details:

FILE_EXTENSION=mp3
INPUT_DIRECTORY=assets/drop-audio/
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=assets/drop-stream/
NODE_ENV=development
Copy

Then, add some audio files to the assets/drop-audio directory. These should all be the same format. If they are not mp3 files, update the configuration above.

Finally, run:

npx nx serve server
Copy

This will start a server that streams the audio files in assets/drop-audio on port 3000. If you have a streaming media player like VLC, you can open the the following network location and listen along: http://localhost:3000/stream/00_stream.m3u8

You might need a few things

To run those commands above, you will need to install git and node if you haven't already.

You might also need docker and gcloud - they help us get this thing live outside of our personal computers. Some nx targets like
