# VRC-YT
Playing [YouTube] videos cross-platform in [VRChat]
## Notice:
VRChat added `yt-dlp` support to Android/Quest, making this proxy useless.
YouTube is cracking down on IPs and Accounts using `yt-dlp`, making this proxy useless.
## Proxy
The [proxy](/proxy) package contains the source code for my [public proxy](https://shay.loan)
You can also self-host your own instance using a [release](https://github.com/shaybox/vrc-yt/releases/latest) build
This proxy was inspired by [vroxy](https://github.com/techanon/vroxy) which has similar functionality
### VRChat Users
If you're not a [World Creator](#vrchat-world-creators)
You can use my proxy in any world with a compatible video player
⬇️The original YouTube video URL
`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`
⬇️You don't have to type the rest of the URL
`https://shay.loan/dQw4w9WgXcQ`
### VRChat World Creators
You must use a video player that supports Quest
Such as AVPro or ProTV which uses AVPro
When you enter the YouTube URL into Unity
Prefix the link with the proxy link
⬇️The original YouTube video URL
`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`
⬇️Add the Proxy URL Prefix
`https://shay.loan/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ`
### Self-Hosting:
You can self-host your own instance using the [latest release](https://github.com/ShayBox/VRC-YT/releases/latest)
The default binding address and port are intended for use behind a reverse proxy,
Should you not want to use a reverse proxy and accept connections from remote hosts,
You can change the address and port using the `ROCKET_ADDRESS` and `ROCKER_PORT` environment variables.
The default binding address `127.0.0.1` only accepts local hosts, using `0.0.0.0` accepts all hosts.
The default binding port is `8000`, ports below 1024 usually require root privilege on Linux.
