♻️ TechZMusic Beta Update

We've made significant changes to how TechZMusic operates, now consisting of two distinct projects:

1. TechZMusic Bot
2. YT-DLP Stream API

These components communicate with each other using Socket.IO to exchange data efficiently.

🚀 Key Changes:

- Interconnected Architecture:
- A bot can now connect to multiple stream APIs, which speeds up file downloads and helps avoid IP bans by YouTube.
- Similarly, the stream API can connect to multiple bots, enhancing flexibility and redundancy.

🔄 Streamlined Requests:
- When a bot requests a song download, it sends the request to a random stream server from the pool. The stream server downloads the song, saves it, and sends the stream URL back to the bot. This URL is then shared with the mini-apps of connected users.
- This process now uses Socket.IO instead of repeated FastAPI polling requests, improving efficiency and reducing latency.

🔗 Simplified Connections:
- The stream server only requires the bot's mini-app URL. It automatically connects to all bots upon starting.
- If an API goes down, all cached URLs from that stream server are removed, allowing the bot to request files from other available stream servers.

🛠 Mini App Fixes:
- Removed duplicate users showing in the mini-app.
- Changed button styles for a better user experience.

We have removed the Piped API that was previously in use.

🚀 Stream Api Update

This uses ytdlp to download songs from youtube, and stores them locally

Due to some unknown reasons in ytdlp, the ram usage keeps on increasing on every song download. I tried some fixed and methods to decrease/remove this but no method can be used for our case. The only thing we can do is to restart the api.

Now the api keeps on checking the ram usage every minute. When it increases above 80%, it sends all connected bots (currently 3) to request a restart of api. The bot then checks if no song is playing / queued from that server, if yes then this status is returned back to bot. When all bots return yes status, then the stream api restarts.

Well if the usage increases above 95 %, api restart automatically. This can cause problem if the api is streaming some song. Even so 95% usage, the api definitely gonna crash anyway.

🔮 Tip: Using TechZMusic in Channels

You can share and enjoy songs with your channel users using TechZMusic. Here's how:

1. Create a Private Group: Ensure only you can control the bot and its commands by making the group private.

2. Add TechZMusic Bot: Invite @TechZMusicBot to your group and send commands to start playing music.

3. Generate an Invite Link: Use the /invite command to get an invite link, then share it in your channel. This way, anyone can listen to the songs playing in the group. Since the group is private, only you can change the songs.

I created a semi-automatic scraper for the MKV Cinemas website that extracts GDTOT links.

How it works:
- Semi-automatic process: Occasionally, the website requires captcha completion, which needs to be done manually by the user.
- Efficiency: The scraper successfully extracted 4 links in less than 2 minutes.

What's New:

🚀 Bot Username: @TechZMusicBot

Thank you for your patience and continued support!

🔰 TechZMusic Update

- Re-enabled `/playlist` command
- Auto-End Group Music: Music will automatically stop if no stream server is connected
- Stats Fix: Corrected the number of connected users displayed
- Improved Stability: Fixed issues with the skip command and auto song downloader
- Duplicate User Sessions: Resolved issues where the same user joining multiple times caused errors

Important: To avoid connection issues, please do not join TechZMusic with the same account multiple times. Ensure you close any previously connected mini app sessions before opening a new one. Currently, phone users can open multiple sessions of the same mini app simultaneously, which can cause conflicts. Alternatively, you can join TechZMusic with the same account using different devices.

Note: Although I’ve added code to automatically remove previous sessions, this may not always work reliably.

🔰 TechZMusic No Longer Maintained

This project will no longer receive updates. While the bot currently functions, it is facing some issues that are expected to worsen over time, eventually leading to its complete shutdown.

Thank you to everyone who supported and used TechZMusic during its time.

After a long time...

🔰 TGDrive Update

I have made a script to backup all local files to TGDrive. Files will be stored in telegram, and then you can later acess them from TGDrive UI. This maintains the same directory structure as you have locally.

I just completed it, and now backing up my 70gbs of files/photos/videos to telegram (single file size less than 2gbs)

I think telegram private channels are safe enough to store files as long as you dont do something fishing and telegram bans your account

⭐️ The script will be coming soon publicly...
