Maintainer wanted

Mopidy-YouTube is currently kept on life support by the Mopidy core developers. It is in need of a more dedicated maintainer.

If you want to be the maintainer of Mopidy-YouTube, please:

1. Make 2-3 good pull requests improving any part of the project.
2. Read and get familiar with all of the project's open issues.
3. Send a pull request removing this section and adding yourself as the "Current maintainer" in the "Credits" section below. In the pull request description, please refer to the previous pull requests and state that you've familiarized yourself with the open issues.

As a maintainer, you'll be given push access to the repo and the authority to make releases to PyPI when you see fit.

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

For older versions of Mopidy (pre v2.0), install the plugins by running:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

Install by running:

pip install Mopidy-YouTube

Configuration

No configuration needed. The only supported config value is youtube/enabled which can be set to false to disable the extension.

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 resolving of URIs stops working, always try to update the pafy library first:

pip install --upgrade pafy
