RPi-youtube: Smooth YouTube Playback in Chromium

RPi-youtube is a free Chrome extension developed by kusti8. This extension allows for smoother playback of YouTube videos in Chromium by running them through omxplayer. With RPi-youtube, users can enjoy a much more seamless viewing experience.

This small script adds a quick button to play any YouTube video locally in omxplayer, resulting in faster and smoother playback. By utilizing youtube-dl, RPi-youtube prompts users each time a YouTube video is opened. With a simple click of the "OK" button, the video is displayed locally in less than 10 seconds.

To use RPi-youtube, users must have Chromium installed on their device. Additionally, the host script provided by kusti8 must also be installed. For any questions or issues encountered while using the extension, users are encouraged to report them on the Github page. The developer is open to new ideas and suggestions for improving RPi-youtube.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
