chef 3744 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Does youtube have an Api? With some of the new rules about CR, and we allowed to stream from youtube? Should a channel plugin be scraping the information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstamas 153 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I thought I would give the workaround @@Jamin316 suggested earlier in this thread a try but I cant for the life of me figure out how to actually access or play a podcast of any kind? Ive added the plugin, inputted a podcast URL but where the heck to you play it from? It doesn’t show up anywhere I can fine. It’s not listed under My Media and doing a scheduled task update doesn’t make it show up anywhere. Am I missing a step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 From the podcast library on the home screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstamas 153 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 That’s just it. No library is being produced. If I go to add a library after installing and populating the plug in with a podcast url I don’t have “podcast” as an option for the type of library to add. Is there a step I’m missing?

Luke 36886 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 A library is being produced. Have you explored your user access permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstamas 153 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 A library is being produced. Have you explored your user access permissions? Only one user (myself). I have full access to everything. I get a log to you if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstamas 153 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 A library is being produced. Have you explored your user access permissions?Log attached. Part if my problem maybe is there doesn’t seem to be any instructions on how to set this up. If its not something that should be automatically popping up then I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be doing next after installing the plugin and adding a URL to the settings. I see no “podcast” specific library anywhere and if I try to add a library of the type “audio book” etc. it just wants me to set up as usual, inputting a folder path etc. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hstamas 153 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) If the plugin was working correctly should I be seeing a new library auto generated in my list of libraries in the area attached? I ask because as I mentioned in another thread where I’m having issues, when using the trailers plugin, shouldn’t that also auto generate a library? It does not for me. Might be related?

ebr 14862 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have access to all libraries @@Luke. How about this checkbox? The Podcast (and Trailers) plug-in is an Internet "channel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3744 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Also there is a scheduled tasks that is "refresh internet channels" Make sure you run that after you build the configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hstamas 153 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 How about this checkbox? The Podcast (and Trailers) plug-in is an Internet "channel". I dont have a check box like that. Only like the image I posted before thats for Library access. I think something is up with my system as Trailers plugin doesnt create a channel either. Am I looking at a fresh install? @@chef I did make sure that scheduled task was run a couple times. No difference unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpaull 0 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 It's a great idea, but unlikely to come from the core team as there are already youtube apps on every platform. This would be a great plugin from a community contributor. Good comment but we're loving to STAY in the Emby environment. Youtube is "just another source" but we know its a redirect. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you do if you want to watch YT on your TV and only have Linux-machines (including mobile phone)? All the unofficial client's are very bad. A good answer would be very much appreciated.

Carlo 4328 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 On my Linux computer I open a browser type in www.youtube.com and watch videos. Linux isn't "the environment" for client use IMHO as it's lacking compared to PC, Android or Mac in this regard. Better yet is to just use a device running iOS or what I'd prefer Android TV but even a Roku will do in a pinch. LOL If you want to use Linux maybe consider running Kodi on it with an Emby plugin as well as youtube plugin. It all depends on your needs but youtube access is pretty much par for the course on any platform worth considering for a home theater environment. This I'm sure isn't the answer you're looking for but Emby doesn't develop or work on Youtube but just uses the native OS access to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
