<title>Youtube</title>
<p>Googles <link href="https://youtube.com/">Youtube</link> 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.</p>
<p>VLC can directly play Youtube URLs. For other players the default application
setting wraps <link href="http://youtube-dl.org/">youtube-dl</link>, which is also
used for recording.</p>

To apply this setting, and have new categories show up in the genre pane, use
<guiseq><gui>Channel</gui> <gui>Update category tree</gui></guiseq> first.</p>
