Mopidy extension that plays sound from YouTube
Project description
Mopidy extension that plays sound from YouTube.
Installation
Make sure you already have the GStreamer plugins, especially the “bad” collection of plugins. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu you can install it by running:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
Install by running:
pip install Mopidy-YouTube
Configuration
If you want modipy-youtube to use the YouTube API, before starting Mopidy, you must set api_enabled = True, and add your Google API key to your Mopidy configuration file:
[youtube] enabled = true youtube_api_key = <api key you got from Google>
Other configuration options are:
threads_max = 16 search_results = 15 playlist_max_videos = 20 api_enabled = false
If api_enabled is True but the youtube_api_key supplied is not valid, the plugin will report an error and the API will not be used.
Usage
Simply use search for filename in your MPD client or add YouTube URL to playlist prefixed by yt:.
Example video:
yt:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njpw2PVb1c0
Example for playlist:
yt:http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeCg_YDclAETQHa8VyFUHKC_Ly0HUWUnq
Troubleshooting
If the extension is slow, try setting lower values for threads_max, search_results and playlist_max_videos.
If resolving of URIs stops working, always try to update the youtube-dl library first:
pip install --upgrade youtube-dl
