calzoneman 6dc0a33bda Separate ports for webserver and socketio 
It came to my attention today that some firewalls block websocket traffic on port 80.  For this reason, I have split out the webserver and socket.io traffic to 2 different ports.
In config.js, IO_PORT is the socket.io port.  This should NOT be port 80.  WEBSERVER_PORT is the port that the built in webserver will bind to (can be port 80, but this requires root permissions).
You will connect to yourhostname:WEBSERVER_PORT, and use yourhostname:IO_PORT as IO_URL.

About

CyTube (formerly Sync) is a server/client combination providing media synchronization, chat, and administration for an arbitrary number of channels. I began developing this as a hobby project, and when Synchtube announced their closure, I began polishing it and readying it for the public.

I am hosting a CyTube server at http://cytu.be

The serverside is written in JavaScript and runs on Node.JS. It makes use of a MySQL database to store user registrations, cached media metadata, and data about each channel.

The clientside is written in JavaScript and makes use of Socket.IO and jQuery as well as the APIs for various media providers. The web interface uses Bootstrap for layout and styling.

The following media sources are currently supported:

  • YouTube (individual videos)
  • YouTube Playlists
  • Vimeo
  • Dailymotion
  • Soundcloud
  • Livestream.com
  • Twitch.tv
  • Justin.tv
  • Ustream
  • RTMP livestreams

Installing

Installation instructions for specific distributions are available here: https://github.com/calzoneman/sync/wiki/Installing

This assumes you have Node.JS installed. I'm using v0.10, please feel free to report which versions do/do not work. I recommend using at least v0.8.20 due to a bug in previous versions of node that caused sketchy client connections to crash the server.

First install MySQL on the server. There are many online tutorials for setting up MySQL on various operating systems. I recommend installing phpMyAdmin so that you have a nice database administration interface. Create a new user and database, and make sure the user has full permissions for the database.

Then, follow these instructions to install CyTube:

  1. Clone this repository (git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync)
  2. cd to the directory containing the source files
  3. Install your distribution's libmysqlclient package.
  4. Install dependencies: npm install
  5. Edit config.js and input your database details and connection port
  6. Edit www/assets/js/iourl.js and change the value of IO_URL to yourhostname:port where port is the port defined in config.js

Running

Start the server: node server.js You should now be able to connect via yourhostname:port where port is the port you defined in config.js
