Chris Handley's YT_launcher program is included, which allows you to run the
script from an executable file for use with APPDIR:. Simply extract
YT_launcher.lha and copy YT into the directory YT.rexx resides in.

Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

YT.rexx is a script for providing direct video & audio links from YouTube URLs,
and the ability to stream them within MPlayer. Just provide a URL and it will
display all of the available video links found and let you play them.

This script can be used on any website containing links to a YouTube video, and
also supports the ability to stream live content within FFplay.

With just a few configurations, all of these abilities can be used within your
Amiga web browsers. Just right-click to play the YouTube videos.

An extensive AmigaGuide documentation is available within the archive.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  If using the HTML option, it is recommended to configure the context menu
  in the browser to use autoplay for right-clicking Original Link, so
  non-expired links are always used.

ChangeLog
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.8 - 10th Feb 2026:

- Automatically disable DUALPLAY if a live stream is detected. Only HLS
  supported for live streams at this time.

3.7 - 3rd Feb 2026:

Note: WEBSAFARI no longer working.

- DUALPLAY can now be used with Emotion player with limitations.
  APPDIR:ffmpeg required to pipe multiplexed video and audio to it.
  Seeking is not available. Pausing not recommended.
  Close Emotion player before watching another video.
  Expect other possible issues.
  Emotion player must be named Emotion.
  Use ANDROIDVR or ANDROID client with DUALPLAY.
  Set PlayMode to 3 (only applies to HLS / live streams).

- IOS HLS streams can now be piped to Emotion with the above limitations.
  PlayMode 2 required if using Emotion with IOS client.
  More overhead than DUALPLAY.

- Minor misc bug fixes.
