Twilio Code

Follow these docs serve_twilio.py tries to listen for texts

• Run python serve_twilio.py to set up the server
• In a separate terminal window, also run ./ngrok http 5000
  • Grab the forwarding URL
  • Add here: https://www.twilio.com/user/account/messaging/phone-numbers

What's Going On

• Server listening in for texts (serve_twilio.py)
  • Write to list of incoming texts
  • If text is NEXT_CODE, gets written to playlist.txt directly (skips next part)
• In a loop on a separate script (search_youtube_dl.py)
  • Read in texts
  • Search on youtube for URL
  • Download m4a
  • youtube-dl -f 140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRYvuS9OxdA
  • Add list to playlist.txt
• Every two seconds, a python script (music_play.py) reads in playlist.txt and adds the next song to the queue
  • TODO: Every ten songs, delete the files of those songs

TODO

• Figure out order in which scripts should be run and who erases what files.
• Stop hard-coding file path
• Celery async
