#Osc video feeder of youtube videos and playlists.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Y7h0FmCGM) "Ain't me babe")

Give it urls to download then randomly send videos over osc within min and max time limits.

It also send a frame to skip to. All youtube videos are 30fps.

##Run

(requires node 7.0++)

npm start

##Configure

The video path on the harddive is sent over OSC with port TARGET_OSC_PORT at this route:

/layer<layerIndex>

There is a frame route if you want to skip to a frame in the video.

/layer<layerIndex>/frame

Only 1 argument for each. In layer.js

###Configure

config.json

• Each array item is a layer

• Fill each layer item with youtube playlists urls or video urls

Example config.json with comments

  //osc route would be: /layer0
  [{
    "playlist": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRQ2jIXShfkYUDJWN4v_hClyFb0Qcnhlk"
