YouTube fix for Volumio

Unread post by slinger »

As mentioned elsewhere...

If your YouTube functionality is broken in Volumio this fix has worked for me, and others.

Enable SSH if you haven't already.

volumio.local/DEV/
or
IP-Adress/DEV/

-> SSH enable

Start Putty
Login (default: volumio/volumio)

1: cd data/plugins/music_service/youtube

2: npm i fent/node-ytdl-core

3: nano package.json

4: change following line:

"ytdl-core": "github:fent/node-ytl-core"
to
"ytdl-core": "^0.29.2"

5: Ctrl+X -> Exit, Save

6: npm install

7: Reboot Volumio
It buggered me about in a couple of places.

Step 1 kept coming back as no such directory so I had to cd /data and then cd to the rest of the string one step at a time which fixed the problem.

P.S. If you need to ask how to do any of the above you probably shouldn't be diong it in the first place. :lol:
