can this service stream audio only from youtube

[fanyangto]

This awesome plugin deserves a lot more attention.

Many want to listen to youtube's audio stream only. Can this service stream audio only ? Many other solutions require downloading files and use ffmpeg to generate and save an audio file. I see your self-hosted service as a great solution to youtube audio listening without saving audio files. Could you comment on audio streaming ?

Now that I have it installed and up running. I can see from the web interface, lots of powerful features. But it's not clear what I need to do in jellyfin to utilize this youtube plugin ? Can you add in your MD file what the user needs to do ?

For example, in your sample youtube channels, you have

• keyword-kase o
• extractaudio-https://www.youtube.com/@luisitocomunica

Is the keyword-kbase for any keyword search ? what is extractaudio doing ? Does it extract audio of all files from the channel ?

Thank you @fanyangto , yep the keyword- is the prefix to get videos from youtube search , you just need to add a new element in your youtube list with this prefix and the keyword you want seach. For example if you want to search for "football", add a new item like "keyword-football".

And the extractaudio- prefix means that the strm files only play the audio from all the videos in the channel. For example, if you want to stream only the audio of @LiveMusicRadio channel, add a new element like "extractaudio-https://www.youtube.com/@LiveMusicRadio"

Thanks a lot.

If youtube uses the direct method, no video/audio is actually downloaded. Instead, jelly fin will use strm to play the stream through the youtube plugin?

I also have the same issue as the other user in that after setting the crons schedule every hour at the hour, nothing happens to the /media dir. No youtube subdir and content were created. I use the docker image. I wonder if you could comment on this.

Now it seems to generate them not according to the schedule I set. But overnight, it does generate all the youtube channel content. Not sure why changing the schedule to every hour than every day didn't work.

Try leaving the "quantity" field empty and in the "every" field set "hour" (singular). I'm using schedule library, take a look for more information https://schedule.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ *used in clases/cron/cron.py

call_constructor = "schedule.every({}).{}.at('{}').do(main_cli, {})".format(
    cron['qty'],
    cron['every'],
    cron['at'],
    cron['do']
)
