Hello everyone,

This plugin is a very simple plugin that allows you to import your own YouTube playlists and play them through eisy.

IMPORTANT:

Since this plugin is still in beta, please send your email address (the one you use to login to your YouTube account) to support@universal-devices.com and request to be added to the beta list.

Instructions:

Upon successful installation, click on the Authorization button in PG3 page for this plugin. This is a secure authorization process through Google such that neither UD nor eisy need to capture your credentials.

Once the authorization is successful, please restart the Admin Console and you should be able to see your playlists. If playlist is empty or not complete, please restart the Admin Console.

For Bluetooth, you need the Bluetooth plugin.

With kind regards,
Michel

@Michel Kohanim I have been testing this plugin.  I start a playlist with the speaker jack output.  After the first song, nothing changes in the AC, but the audio switches to bluetooth.  Starting with bluetooth, it stays with bluetooth.

@Whitehambone, most probably because something else is changing it to bluetooth. In short, the output does not change automatically. Can you please check the logs?

With kind regards,
Michel

@Michel Kohanim This is repeatable.  Around 3:31, I switched to the speaker jack and started to play, and as the first song ended, the AC went from Playing to Idle momentary.  Then it started to play to the Bluetooth again.  It happens after the first song.

This is the log from the AC:

@Whitehambone,

Fixed. Please upgrade to 1.0.3.

With kind regards,
Michel

Installation was straightforward and easy. After about 5 minutes or so the playlist from YouTube was available for streaming. Very cool! I am enjoying it. Thank you @Michel Kohanim
