Playlist Scrape and Play

What it is:

Playlist Scrape and Play (Playlist SNP) scrapes and plays complete YouTube playlists in VLC media player, commercial free. Also uniquely exports each videos URL, Title, Runtime, and Author into a well-organized Pandas DataFrame and from there, also out to a CSV file. Current version .84 is debug version. Simply plug a playlist URL into Jupyter Notebook and enjoy.

Benefits:

• Move through videos at up to 30x faster speed with VLC
• Eliminates commercials and advertising completely
• Specifically skip to any video
• Use VLC as a learning tool. Load up your playlist for educational content and watch within the VLC video player environment
• Once VLC playlist is inputted VLC is launched and plays completely from the first to last video
• No need to download videos. YouTube SNP acts as a playlist generator upon inputting playlist URL. Each video in playlist streams quickly and instantly to VLC.
• Provides the unique benefit of playing complete YouTube playlists

How it works:

1. Load “YouTube_SNP.py” in Jupyter notebook
2. Input: Enter YouTube playlist URL
3. A VLC playlist file is outputted by Python
4. VLC launches automatically from Python
5. Once VLC is launched the user can use VLC controls to watch and navigate videos being played and the YouTube playlist

Future versions:

• Working to have first official v1.0 pre-populate the entire playlist to allow for easier navigation
