Install Failure

[Jstudner]

So fairly certain this comes down to user error, however I have been working on installing this the last few days with no luck. I am running Ubontu with the intent to have youtube videos in jellyfin. I have tried the linux install serveral times but kept getting "error: externally-managed-environment", which then told me to do it in a Python venv. I set that up and finaly got it to install requirements.txt, however when I go to start the systemd program it gives me this

"ytdlp2strm.service - ytdlp2STRM Service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/ytdlp2strm.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

Aug 27 15:50:39 MyServ python3[1417156]: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask'

I am guessing its not meant to be run in a venv, but unsure how to work it otherwise. In case it wasn't obvious I am very new to linux in general. I also tried it in docker awhile back and while it didn't work then the web UI is there, but does not work (says it downloaded but the files aren't there and jelly fin also reads nothing there.

Guessing I did something stupid but any help would be appreciated!

I also started getting this massive one whenever I try to use any python command:

I redid the install a few more times, used the "--break-system-packages" to install all of the dependencys again (originally I had done them one by one) I got one status check to show as working, but then it promptly went back to not working (i ran the command a 2nd time in disbelief (changed nothing)) After a few more I got a install with no errors, but it still doesnt show working in status. I also tried just running python3 main.py, which opened the webUI, but its totally broken lol giving this error atm:

$ python cli.py --media youtube --params direct
only python cli.py command can be executed from here.
$

so yea.... fun

[Jstudner]

and here is an example of the working thing, I believe it is trying to restart as soon as it loads and then failing?

The port is also now showing this:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

[cleanerspam]

providing it in on ArchAUR or even pip would be better , installing python packages system wide is not recommended

[Jstudner]

I am still confused on what is causing them to be installed system wide though? I am using Ubuntu so not sure about archAUR. will look into both though.

[Jstudner]

providing it in on ArchAUR
-I am on ubontu so I believe makedeb was the closest alternative, but I am unsure what difference this makes?

or even pip would be better ,
Its currently being installed using pip? I believe you are referring to the requirements.txt as that is seemingly my main issue

installing python packages system wide is not recommended
I am aware, but I have been very confused as to why it is installing them system wide, I am following the instructions here and using the recommended directories.

guessing I am missing something, I look forward to hearing from you.

[cleanerspam]

those errors you are getting is not your fault , python pip packages are meant to run in virtual environments it is not meant to directly install alongside system packages in opt

Solution would be for the creator of this tool to provide pip packages or binaries for linux

Ok, that's very good to know, in that case shouldn't I be able to change everywhere it says opt and move the files to a separated folder? I will first try to remove some of the stuff running in opt though.

If I can move it out of opt what files should I edit?

Install Instructions ,

First install nano, screen ,python , python-pip and python-venv using your distro package manager ( they may be called python3 or some variation for your linux distro)

1. Open terminal type screen -S ytdlp2STRM then as root by sudo su

2. cd /opt && git clone https://github.com/fe80Grau/ytdlp2STRM.git

3. pyhton -m venv ytdlp2STRM

4. cd ytdlp2STRMsudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ytdlp2strm.service

5. source bin/activate

6. pip install -r requierments.txt

7. python main.py

Your service should be running now to make it run in background press Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+D this will detach your screen session from terminal now you can close terminal.

To stop the service or see logs you can reattach to it by running screen -r ytdlp2STRM and then use Ctrl+C

Automation

If you want this to activate automatically after reboot few more steps would be required ,
first stop the service by following above instruction then
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ytdlp2strm.service paste this.

 [Unit]
Description=ytdlp2STRM Service
After=network-online.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/ytdlp2STRM
Type=simple
ExecStart=/opt/ytdlp2STRM/bin/python /opt/ytdlp2STRM/main.py
Restart=always
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Press Ctrl+S and then Ctrl+X
sudo systemctl enable --now ytdlp2strm
Now check if it running correctly with sudo systemctl status ytdlp2strm it should show running (Active) .
Now Setup is complete visit https://127.0.0.1:5000 to configure further

Removal

sudo systemctl disable ytdlp2strm && sudo systemctl stop ytdlp2strm && sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/ytdlp2strm.service && sudo rm -rf /opt/ytdlp2STRM
