Youtube Plugin on Squeezebox Server

In my opinion this is the best plugin for your Squeezebox Server. With the Youtube plugin you have a nearly infinite music collection. It's very simple to use and works great. You can search what every you want on Youtube. The Youtube songs are handled by the player like songs on your local HDD. So it is no problem to add Youtube songs to playlists (also mixed with local tracks).

The list for top rated, most popular and favorite music are queried from the youtube API.

• Top Rated Music - It should be equal to the filter "Most Liked" for "All time"
• Most Popular Music - Special Youtube algorithm
• Favorite Music -This feed contains videos most frequently flagged as favorite videos
• Youtube Search - Same output as the search on Youtube
• Music Search - Search on Youtube in the category music
• Channel Search - Searching in channels
• Playlist Search - Searching in playlists
• Recently Played - Songs you have recently played via the Youtube plugin
• Youtube URL - Add a direct Youtube URL

The Youtube plugin streams the whole video but only plays the audio track. So you have to pay attention if you have some limitations on your Internet connection. But there is a setting that videos are streamed in low resolution.
