own playlist 4 yahoo youtube widget

Hi,

I've been reading for years since I bought my b650.
It really sucks that I cannot bookmark my own videos
or get my favorites on the YouTube widget.

YOU NEED: telnet access to your TV and/or know how to edit a file on the TV-System

Now I found out that it is quite easy, all you have to do
is add a couple of lines to:

Code: Select all

\mtd_down\widget\data\Widgets\Installed\com.youtube.widgets.tv.widget\Contents\Source\core\application.js
at line 310, the JavaScriptArray "standardFeeds" are the key and we can add some own stuff.

Code: Select all

	var bu = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/' + cc + '/';
	var cl = 'client=ytapi-samsung-tv';
	var rf = 'alt=json';
	var fr = 'format=3';
	var fl = 'racy=include';	//'racy=exclude'; No Filter!
	var bp = '?' + cl + '&' + rf + '&' + fr + '&' + fl;

	var standardFeeds = [
		{ id: 'featured', label: $_('featured'), value: bu + 'recently_featured' + bp },
		{ id: 'most-viewed', label: $_('most_viewed'), value: bu + 'most_viewed' + bp + '&time=today' },
		{ id: 'most-recent', label: $_('most_recent'), value: bu + 'most_recent' + bp },
		{ id: 'top-rated', label: $_('top_rated'), value: bu + 'top_rated' + bp },
		{ id: 'top-favorites', label: $_('top_favorites'), value: bu + 'top_favorites' + bp },
I added a user "htmlworld" (you can just use your own username)

Code: Select all

		{ id: 'my-favorites0', label: 'HTML', value: 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/htmlworld/uploads' + bp + '&orderby=published' },
or it is easy to add a YouTube Playlist (for my kids)
you have to know the PlaylistID: (e.g. E45288B6C5F1E0CF)

Code: Select all

		{ id: 'my-favorites1', label: 'Yakari', value: 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/E45288B6C5F1E0CF' + bp },
It is very important that the "id" is different for every line.
"label" is the name for the list in the Widget
and "value" is the URL of the VideoFeed from YouTube API

I love it, now i can add videos on my laptop or my phone to the youtube playlist
and watch it on TV. Hopefully someone can use it too.

I think here is possible to edit/add playlists using SamyGO webif. Could be useful.

Yes, please share your other archievements too, B series is not dead :-)

Doesn't work for me. The new option shows up but it does not load any files.

Hi atulb,

sometimes i got errors like this. It is probably because the feed is not well formed. You can try this in a Browser (without "alt=json"):

Code: Select all

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/[youruser]/uploads?client=ytapi-samsung-tv&format=3&racy=include&orderby=published
Usually the "orderby=published" is the key. If you fail you can send me a PN with your URL and i fix it for you.

And every time you made a change you have to restart the Samy or at least the Internet@TV (but i don't know how)

hi,

it should be possible to use any Video-Feed with the namespace "Media RSS" from Yahoo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_RSS

and if I modify the xhr.js it could be any Video-Feed with mp4 links

But is it worth the work?

^ Can you please explain which lines to edit in xhr file. I would like to test streaming flash url and some other files.

Also i searched everywhere to modify the you-tube API url to play HD files, because currently it plays only default 360/480p. i have tired to add ?hd=1 to the url but no go.

edit: NVM i figured how to modify xhr.js but can you please show how to add non-yahoo rss feeds. I tried one of my own web server and no go

Re: own playlist 4 yahoo youtube widget on own server

Hi atulb,

if it is your own server then it is easy and you don't have to change xhr.js
Just put a file on the server in YouTube format and in JSON (not XML):

http://example.com/my-playlist.json

Code: Select all

{
    "version": "1.0",
    "encoding": "UTF-8",
    "feed": {
        "id": {
            "$t": "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/karaoke/uploads"

        "updated": {

        },

            { ...
            }
        ]
    }
}
the important entrys are "title","url"
and this is the association:

Code: Select all

			item = {
				id: entries[i].id.$t,
				author: entries[i]['author'][0].name.$t,
				authorUrl: entries[i]['author'][0].uri.$t,
				avatar: null,
				title: entries[i]['media$group']['media$title'].$t,
				url: entries[i]['media$group']['media$content'][0].url,
				thumbnail: entries[i]['media$group']['media$thumbnail'][0],
				preview: entries[i]['media$group']['media$thumbnail'][3],
				description: entries[i]['media$group']['media$description'].$t,
				keywords: ( '$t' in entries[i]['media$group']['media$keywords'] ) ? entries[i]['media$group']['media$keywords'].$t : '',
				categories: entries[i]['media$group']['media$category'][0].$t,
				duration: entries[i]['media$group']['yt$duration'],
				published: entries[i].published.$t,
				updated: entries[i].updated.$t,
				statistics: statistics,
				rating: ratings
			};
you can test your JSON file here:
http://jsonlint.com/

But i did not test it, so good luck and let us know if it works.

Sorry i forgot to update this, your code only had few syntax errors but it is valid json otherwise. However, the playlist file is not at all loaded.

Going foward, the only reason to built a custom playlist xml/json file is to be able to utilize other embedded flash videos outside of Youtube, otherwise there is not point in developing custom json script for Youtube videos because you can create your own playlist with a Youtube account and simply edit application.js with your own Youtube playlist.
