Need 11 character video id or the URL of the video. Got None.

See original GitHub issue

Hello, i have got problem with playing from yt. Everytime when i tried to play m3u, mopidy shows message: INFO Need 11 character video id or the URL of the video. Got None.

mopidy --version
  Mopidy 0.19.5
mopidy deps
  Not found:
  none

Playlist file:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1, My song from YT
yt:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njpw2PVb1c0

I’m able to play from youtube with this oneliner;

gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=$(echo "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njpw2PVb1c0" | python2 -c 'import pafy,sys;print(pafy.new("".join(sys.stdin)).getbestaudio().url)')

Thanks

Found a workaround having exactly the same issue here running Mopidy (2.1.0), Mopidy-Youtube (2.0.2) and pafy (0.5.3.1). Youtube URLs are playable by searching and playing them using the Mopidy-Moped (0.7.1) web interface. I found out, running mopidy -vvv, that the called URi is a bit different:

Sending track_playback_started to CoreListener: {'tl_track': TlTrack(tlid=90, track=Track(album=Album(images=[u'http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UBS4Gi1y_nc/hqdefault.jpg', u'http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UBS4Gi1y_nc/mqdefault.jpg'], name=u'YouTube'), comment=u'UBS4Gi1y_nc', length=633000, name=u'Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (official video) 1080p HD', uri='youtube:video/Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (official video) 1080p HD.UBS4Gi1y_nc'))}

As a workaround it works for me to simply put the URI to my .m3u playlist:

youtube:video/Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (official video) 1080p HD.UBS4Gi1y_nc

Some shorter notation is also possible:

yt:/.UBS4Gi1y_nc

Cheers!

I’ve got the same error. Thats the Output

INFO Need 11 character video id or the URL of the video. Got //com/playlist?list=PLeCg_YDclAETQHa8VyFUHKC_Ly0HUWUnq

WARNING Track is not playable: yt:http://www.youtube.com /playlist?list=PLeCg_YDclAETQHa8VyFUHKC_Ly0HUWUnq
