youtube-music: [partially works] doesn't build for linux armhf/arm64

here are the build instructions for linux arm so far (I added everything I did, so there might be some uneeded instructions):

Install dependencies

node.js

There are two ways to install node.js: using apt and the nodesource repo and using nvm (node version manager), I recommend using nvm because using the nodesource repo has broken system permissions multiple times for me.

curl is needed, but you can change it with wget if you use the correct flags.

nvm

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion
nvm install node

nodesource

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs -y

yarn

curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install yarn -y

build youtube music

git clone https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music.git
cd youtube-music
yarn --frozen-lockfile

build a appimage

yarn build:linux --linux appimage --armv7l

build a deb

yarn build:linux --linux deb --armv7l

I had to run yarn --frozen lockfile, yarn build:linux --linux appimage --armv7l & yarn build:linux --linux deb --armv7l as root. otherwise the commands failed. change armv7l with arm64 for building for Linux arm64.

notes

• the downloader plugin doesn’t work.

Hey @Itai-Nelken, thank you for the detailed feedback! Glad to see it working 😃 For the downloader issue, the mp3 conversion is done with the WebAssembly version of FFmpeg and not sure of how well it is supported on ARM 😬 - I don’t have an ARM machine at the moment to test, keeping the issue opened to track progress on this!
