YouTube

Suggested plugin code for YouTube Data API V3:

viewtopic.php?f=22&t=18778

[zip]

Updated the plugin to work as a WebResource plugin. Example URLs in the original post.

Thanks for that.

One question, I normally just use the youtube channels 'upload' category, but it looks like those pages do not have a playlistID. Is it a case of well that sucks, have to add each channels playlist to serviio now?

Thanks for that.

Yes. The only way I know right now to get channel uploads playlist ID is to use the Google API Exlorer for YouTube and request 'channels.list'. Here is a video that covers the subject https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RjUlmco7v2M

Thanks.

For those who want to know, goto

https://developers.google.com/apis-expl ... nnels.list

part = contentDetails
forUsername = (channelusername)

Hit execute, and in the results at bottom of the page, look for "uploads":

Thanks All! Works for me. Allows me to keep up with my youtube feeds easily and now with v3 api

With the v2 API, it was possible, to set the start-index of the playlist.
This was useful, when one wanted to have more results than 50, because then one could create a second Online resource in serviio, which was beginning at 51.

E.g.: (v2 API)

  Code:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/6D4C31FFA7EBABB5?start-index=51&max-results=50

Can this be done with the new Plugin/API ?

The V3 API uses a 'pageToken' attribute instead which can be appended to the url (&pageToken={TOKEN}). One must use the API explorer to get its value. https://developers.google.com/apis-expl ... lists.list

Attributes:

part=snippet
maxResults={MAX_RESULTS}
(pageToken={TOKEN})
playlistId={PLAYLIST_ID}

Hit 'execute' and look up in the result for 'nextPageToken' value. Use the value as pageToken={TOKEN} for getting a certain page (and new tokens).

Clear enought?

Edit:

  Code:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?playlistId={PLAYLIST_ID}&pageToken={TOKEN}

Thank you.

Could you please make an example for the Channel "NFL" with maximum 20 videos?

Thank you.

Execute (NFL) for the uploads id

https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.channels.list?part=contentDetails&forUsername=NFL

uploads: UUDVYQ4Zhbm3S2dlz7P1GBDg into playlistId

Execute (20) and repeat for all wanted pages

https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.playlistItems.list?part=snippet&maxResults=20&playlistId=UUDVYQ4Zhbm3S2dlz7P1GBDg

nextPageToken: CAUQAA into pageToken

Thank you, but im not able to get a valid string.
Could you please post the string with the example (Channel=NFL, number results =20)?

Follow the example in this thread post #1 with the uploads playlist id. Note that max items is set in Serviio's console and if you want the first page items then no pagetoken attribute should be added.

I'm attempting to follow the posted examples and not having much luck.

I went to the https://developers.google.com/apis-expl ... nnels.list to get the id I needed, then use the URL

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?playlistId=UUOzpgwSVhD9VLZrOvume4YA

in Serviio.

The log shows returned status code '400'

Any advice would be appreciated.

Okay, after a computer restart, I'm no longer seeing the status code '400' message, but the folder doesn't show up under Online sources on my TV anymore.

Keith

Did you set plugin type as 'Web resource' in console?

No I hadn't. That solved it, thanks!

Hi All

Sorry to be a complete noob at this sort of thing but can someone please tell me where I am going wrong.

I have copied the youtube.groovy in to the plug-in folder on Serviio
I have listed it as a web resource under source type, and copied the following URL in to the the source URL box
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/v ... ostPopular
display name is YouTube.
The online category is enabled on the presentation tab under the video category.

when I open Serviio on my TV, the online folder is there but it is empty.
I have stopped and restarted Serviio numerous times, hit refresh and still nothing.

My setup:
Serviio is installed on a HP proliant microserver running Windows server 2008 R2
DLNA device is a LG HB405SU BD Player
Both the above go through a GiG switch.
The BD Player is then connected to a TV via HDMI

I have no problem playing movies and music from Serviio, but cannot access anything online.
I have tried different plug-ins ( Vimeo,xVideos) with corresponding source URL's and nothing seems to work.

Please help

If getting the plugins from the A.P.P. collection it might not work since many are outdated.

Thanks for the answer

I used the YouTube plug-in from the beginning of this post

Check the logfile what is going on.
