Server plugin to extract a direct URL to a YouTube video using the yt-dlp library.

How to use

Tip

Both endpoints also support providing the URL as a query parameter.

Video URL

Send a message containing a video element with the source URL pre-wrapped with /api/plugins/youtube/play/.

For example

<video src="/api/plugins/youtube/play/https://youtu.be/zFfL0y3zyfc" autoplay controls></video>

Video info

Query the GET /api/plugins/youtube/info/ endpoint to fetch the video info.

interface VideoInfo {
    id: string;
    title: string;
    url: string;
    thumbnail: string;
    duration: number;
    description: string;
    uploader: string;
    view_count: number;
    upload_date: string;
}

Example: GET /api/plugins/youtube/info/https://youtu.be/zFfL0y3zyfc.
