Mopidy extension for YouTube

Project description

Latest PyPI version CircleCI build status Test coverage

Mopidy extension that plays sound from YouTube.

Installation

Install from PyPI by running:

python3 -m pip install Mopidy-Youtube==3.0

Install from github by running:

python3 -m pip install https://github.com/natumbri/mopidy-youtube/archive/develop.zip

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

Configuration

Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for Mopidy-YouTube to your Mopidy configuration file:

[youtube]
enabled = true

If you want modipy-youtube to use the YouTube API, before starting Mopidy, you must add your Google API key to your Mopidy configuration file and set api_enabled = true:

[youtube]
youtube_api_key = <api key you got from Google>
api_enabled = false

Other configuration options are:

[youtube]
threads_max = 16
search_results = 15
playlist_max_videos = 20

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.
