YouTuPi lets you play local and YouTube videos in your Raspberry Pi using a (mobile) web interface. It provides a web UI for Omxplayer (the raspbian media player). It has three modules:

Manual installation

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libpcre3 fonts-freefont-ttf omxplayer python-pip python-magic python-dbus git
sudo pip install web.py beautifulsoup4 youtube_dl betterprint

Clone repository:

YOUTUPI_HOME=/home/pi/youtupi
git clone git://github.com/kktuax/youtupi.git $YOUTUPI_HOME
cd $YOUTUPI_HOME
cp youtupi.conf.example youtupi.conf
git submodule init
git submodule update

sudo cp $YOUTUPI_HOME/service/youtupi /etc/init.d/
sudo update-rc.d youtupi defaults

Note: If you want to run youtupi under a different user than pi or from a different directory, you'll need to modify /etc/init.d/youtupi before starting it.

Scripted installation

cd ~
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kktuax/youtupi/master/service/install.sh -o youtupi-install.sh
cat youtupi-install.sh         # well, you need to check whether this shell script from the net is clean.
chmod +x youtupi-install.sh
sudo ./youtupi-install.sh

Note: If you want to run youtupi under a different user than pi or from a different directory than /home/pi/youtupi/, you'll need to modify youtupi-install.sh after downloading and /etc/init.d/youtupi after installing.

Use YouTuPi

Start youtupi
```
sudo /etc/init.d/youtupi start
```
Grab your Tablet/Phone/PC and go to: http://192.168.1.2:8080 (replace 192.168.1.2 with your Raspberry Pi address).
Enjoy!

Debug YouTuPi

Don't start the service (or stop it), then cd into /home/pi/youtupi and run it from the command line:
```
sudo /etc/init.d/youtupi stop
cd /home/pi/youtupi
python youtupi.py
```
Grab your Tablet/Phone/PC and go to: http://192.168.1.2:8080 (replace 192.168.1.2 with your Raspberry Pi address).

This'll give you all the debug messages on the command line. Add more by adding print/pprint statements to the code.

    "port": 8888,
