Googles Youtube provides a quirky JSON API that makes browsing channels and genres feasible. This beta plugin provides a little overview, and usually retrieves recent video uploads.

VLC can directly play Youtube URLs. For other players one can use youtube-dl as wrapper. For example totem $(youtube-dl %srv) as configured player command.
