#Ivy-YouTube



  

  

  

  



Ivy-YouTube is a simple plugin to query YouTube via emacs and play videos in your browser.

**IMPORTANT:** Remember to set your 'ivy-youtube-key' variable!

## Based on Helm-Youtube

This package was based on [Maximilian Roquemore](https://github.com/maximus12793)'s package called [helm-youtube](https://github.com/maximus12793/helm-youtube).

Thanks Maximilian to create this awesome package.

## Installation

The installation process is very simple:

- M-x package-install: ivy-youtube

- Obtain new google API key

    [here](https://console.developers.google.com/ "Google Developer Console")

    ![Screenshot](https://github.com/squiter/ivy-youtube/blob/master/api.png)

    - To create this API key you need to go to `Credentials` ->

      `Create Credentials` and select `API Key`

    - After create you need to **enable** it: go to `Library`, select

      `YouTube Data API` and click in `Enable` button on top.

- **IMPORTANT:** Set 'ivy-youtube-key' variable

    ``` el

    M-x customize-variable ;; search 'ivy-youtube-key'

    Ivy Youtube Key: replace "NONE" with "API KEY" ;; FROM STEP 2

    ```

## Where do you want to play the video?

By default Ivy Youtube play the selected video in your default browser, but you can configure that:

### Change the default browser:

Set browse-url-generic and add to .emacs

``` elisp

;;start ivy-youtube.el

(autoload 'ivy-youtube "ivy-youtube" nil t)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c y") 'ivy-youtube) ;; bind hotkey

;;set default browser for you will use to play videos/default generic

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic)

(setq browse-url-generic-program "google-chrome-open-url")

```

### Using an external player (beta)

You can set a external player to watch your videos, like `mpv` or

`vlc`. To do that you need to set the custom varialble

`ivy-youtube-play-at`: `M-x

customize-variableivy-youtube-play-at`.

You can set in this field any binary that receives the youtube url as

parameter like: `/usr/bin/mpv` or `/usr/bin/vlc`.
