How to run it
Install these packages if you don't already have them
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-venv
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools
Let's clone the repo and create a virtual environment
git clone https://github.com/makebit/GenM3U.git
cd GenM3U/genm3u_server
mkdir venv
python3 -m venv venv/
source venv/bin/activate
Then you need to install the requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then run the server with
export FLASK_APP=api.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
flask run
At the first run the server will generate your private key and it will print it (e.g. S6BHQMHD6B). Copy this key because we need it!
Now you are ready to open /genm3u_client/dist/index.html and connect to the server. Before that, click on File -> Settings and paste your key under "Private Key" field.
Now you are ready to build your playlist!
