	<p>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.</p>

        <p>VLC can directly play Youtube URLs. For other players one can use
        <link href="http://youtube-dl.org/">youtube-dl</link> as wrapper.
        For example <cmd>totem $(youtube-dl %srv)</cmd> as configured player
        command.</p>
        
        <p>Youtube-dl is preconfigued as "recording"/download tool for this channel
        tab.</p>

        <p>Of course you could also just invoke a specific YT video by
        opening it in your web browser - click the station <key>home</key>
        button simply.</p>
