[Notice] Two Words about YouTube support!
YouTube support is removed:
[Notice] YouTube is no longer support!

YouTube support was disabled by default:
The January 2018 update changed the YouTube support to be disabled by default. This used to be enableable by the user in the settings or in the help window. This will forced the user to acknowledge that problems with the YouTube support can not easily fixed by me. That's because it relied on independent third party services.

How to enable Youtube Support?
You can't, it is removed.

Using converters:
This addon used three independent automatic YouTube converters when you entered a YouTube URL (NOT converter URL). So there wasn't any need for using other converters. This no longer works as all services are incompatible or were discontinued.

These are the converters, that were used by this addon:
  • youtubetoany.com
  • youtube-mp3.info
  • break.tv
These are all dead by now.

You can try to use your own converters. But problems with converters can not be fixed by this addon. Converters are just not meant to be used with radios.

Why not use other APIs or services?
Because they are hard to find and often unreliable aswell! At the moment there is no better way to play from YouTube without having to setup and pay an expensive server that would have to handle a lot of traffic.

But other addons can play YouTube much "better"...
Yeah they can because they usually use the crappy and unstable Awesomium ingame browser as a hidden sound source. It likes to kill the performance and to crash the game often. This radio addon does not and will never use Awesomium or any other ingame browser.

The point of this addon
Remember playing from YouTube is not the main point of this addon. It's optional and was added because people asked for it quite often. I however recommend to use the radio for internet radio streams and online files only.

How to make to make it work?
You can't, it is impossible. You can try to use your own converters, though.

Yeah, the YouTube support is pretty much dead now. If it still works for you, it does probably because of the cache. RIP YouTube support 2021. YouTube code will be removed soon.
