a music server for linux-based systems that queues up and plays songs from youtube. inspired by mps-youtube

to actually listen to anything you'll need a client. currently the only available one is here but i'm planning on making a cli version too.

• golang, until prebuilt releases are a thing
• youtube-dl
• youtube api key
• ffmpeg

by default gotube uses youtube-dl's simulation options to search for tracks. this is very slow, and increases linearly with the number of search results returned. as such it is possible to search using youtube's api directly, but an api key must be provided. go here to get one.
