About this extension

Jukebox-YT is a Media Player for YouTube videos that lets you collect videos, group them into dynamic playlists and play with rating-weighted shuffling!

Videos can be added to your collection individually, or batch-imported from a playlist. From there they can be shuffled, rated and filtered through using complex expressions. Playlists can be made from these search filters.

The plugin features a main screen where the tracks are played and handled, a toolbar popup with remote control and 'Add' options in the context menus for YouTube videos and playlists.

(It should be noted that Jukebox-YT cannot play certain music videos that are disallowed from being played outside of YouTube, but most music works :3)

Developer comments

The 'Addding' part of the plugin is done in 2 different ways depending on if it's a single video or playlist import. For a single video, the ID is already known (from the URL) so all that's needed is the title. This is acquired from YouTube's oEmbed API. For playlists, that playslist's page (youtube.com/playlist?list=___) is downloaded and scraped for the IDs, names and durations of these videos. Unfortunately this poses some problems:
- Due to the strange new Polymer site and how it streams in data, the script asks for the old site, which could be removed tat any time and break the addon.
- The playlist page only initially loads 100 videos, so only these first 100 videos can be scraped and added.
