AIMP YouTube-DL (support for YouTube, SoundCloud, MixCloud, Yandex.Music, etc.)

AIMP YouTube-DL v2.0.4 cubis12321 | 2024-09-20 | 7.4 MB | Downloads: 223365 Platform: Windows App Version: v4.50 or newer Type: Extensions Target: 32-bit + Adding and playing audio from Youtube, Soundcloud, MixCloud, Yandex.Music and probably other sites listed here https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html + Adding whole playlists + Auto-updating + Open source Requirements: .NET Framework 4.7.2 Download

https://github.com/jaryn-kubik/aimp_youtubedl/releases/latest

Made a different version of the YouTube plugin from scratch, written in C# with aimp_dotnet and using youtube-dl to download the audio.
Gives AIMP the ability to add and play audio form YouTube, SoundCloud, MixCloud and a bunch of other sites.

Requirements:

• .NET Framework 4.7.2 (should be preinstalled on updated Windows 10)

Features:

• Adding and playing audio from Youtube, Soundcloud and probably other sites listed here https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
  
  • should in theory be able to add anything from those sites, in practice i'm testing it with Youtube/Soundcloud, whatever else works is a bonus
• Authorization support (logging in)
  
  • means you should be able to play private tracks/playlists
  • you need to add your username/password in options - the credentials are stored encrypted using DPAPI, only the currently logged-in user should be able to decrypt it
  • alternatively you can pass cookies to youtube-dl for other sites not directly supported
    
    • you need to add a file named cookies.txt to C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\AIMP\aimp_youtubedl\
    • see https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-youtube-dl on how to get the cookies.txt file for the desired website
    • or a video tutorial made by user @Avanege - https://www.aimp.ru/forum/index.php?topic=63088.msg401539#msg401539
• Adding whole playlists
  
  • when adding, it only loads some partial info of the individual tracks (url and title for youtube, only url for soundcloud), it loads the rest on first play of the track
  • there is an option to load all info about every track right away, but it takes about 1sec for each track, so playlists with hundreds of tracks would take several minutes while the ui would be blocked, which is shit
• Auto-updating
  
  • auto-updates the youtube-dl part on startup
  • disabled by default
  • slows down the startup a bit (might figure out some way to let it update in a background task so it doesn't slow down anything)

Options:

• Update youtube-dl on startup
• youtube-dl --format - don't change unless you know what you're doing
• youtube-dl vYYYY.MM.DD - should display current youtube-dl version and has a button to update it manually

Differences from the previous version:

• Should be able to play things from more sites, see above
• Faster
  
  • on my rig the old version took about 5sec (not great, not terrible) to start the song, this one is about 1-2s
  • it hosts python engine inside AIMP and only loads the youtube-dl scripts once instead of launching the whole thing (python+youtube-dl) in a separate process for every request
• What's missing
  
  • doesn't have the "check for new tracks" function - will add later
  • no way to manage the actual playlists on youtube - not gonna add, youtube-dl doesn't support this
  • not sure what else the old version does to be honest, only ever used it to play the songs

What requirements?
Microsoft Visual C++ ?
.NET Framework ?

What are the conditions to start working?
Copying to the plugins folder does not give anything.

It's work for me. Это работает у меня.

AIMPYoutubeDL 0.2 - после установки архива из плеера включил плагин и в настройках нажал кнопку обновления YouTube dl модуля.
AiMP 4 b2137, windows 7.
Как понимаю, использует Microsoft .NET 4.7.2, похоже требуется установленный не ниже этой версии. У меня 4.8 (основной, SDK, targeting pack, targeting pack (ENU)).

Microsoft visual C++ тоже есть весь (http://forum.oszone.net/thread-145766.html), включая 2019, но вряд ли он нужен.
В принципе, отладчик показывает использование "C:\Windows\System32\vcruntime140.dll", так что лучше установить актуальный набор версий с заглушками для исключения сбоев в работе плагина и других программ. В папке "python" у плагина он есть, так что должно работать и без установки.

Моя текущая конфигурация





плагин, даже в списке установленных, отсутствует.
Попробую обновиться.

[Алексей Долматов]

ss.pl, скачал архив, в плеере нажал "Установить"?

[ss.pl]

Алексей,  aimp_4.60.2137

[Алексей Долматов]

Странно.
Все 4 DLL есть в папке aimp_youtubedl, как в архиве?
"Попробую обновиться."
Попробовал обновить .net&c++?

[ss.pl]

После обновления M$ Visual C++ (оф.ссылки, плюс к oszone) и установки NET Framework 4.8 (ссылка)
Всё заработало.

Пока гоняю по Youtube - плейлист
На Soundcloud плейлист редко, но бывают какие-то прерывания при переключении треков и вылезает такое окно

А так, в целом, пока Всё Замечательно, с учётом того, что это Альфа релиз.

Thank you! cubis123

Yea sorry, it does need .NET 4.7.2 (should by preinstalled on updated Windows 10), I updated the initial post.
It shouldn't need any Visual C++ stuff (especially not v14, which is 2015?). Maybe the aimp_dotnet library needs it, I'll look into it and maybe package the dll with it or at least make it clear in the initial post.

The warning window seems to be just some unnecessary warning, it still just plays fine.
I changed it so it only displays errors and not warnings in v0.3.

[Алексей Долматов]

Thanks.

haven't tried if it works with whole channels yet

Direct link https://www.youtube.com/user/MizTheBrotherZeroKun / https://www.youtube.com/user/MizTheBrotherZeroKun/videos / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr_4OY2vsnY&list=UU38GMKiSwiZQQITrRYuTEOA don't work.
Need use api or another method to get direct link video from yutube-dl.
You can write only list ID (check and change url for youtube) for autocomplete playlist. Example UU38GMKiSwiZQQITrRYuTEOA (need wait sometime).
If write incorrect URL, then plugin show windows 3 windows with error. I think need show only first window with youtubedl error,

[cubis123]

v0.4
- should only display one error window
- fixed adding whole channels/users (can take a while if it's several hundreds/thousands of videos)

The thing with a url like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr_4OY2vsnY&list=UU38GMKiSwiZQQITrRYuTEOA is that it refers to both a video and a playlist.
If you use the actual playlist url https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UU38GMKiSwiZQQITrRYuTEOA it works fine.

There is a switch that changes what happens with urls that contain both video and plalist, it can either always return just the one videos or always the whole playlist.
I set it to always return one video and not playlist, because it seemed better to add one video by mistake instead of adding a whole playlist by mistake.
I guess I could add this switch to the UI.

I updated the requirements, VC++ redist indeed seems to be required by aimp_dotnet. Only the version I linked there should be needed, apparently Microsoft finally decided to unfuck that mess and the latest installer includes every version from 2015.

[Алексей Долматов]

- should only display one error window

Can you change window priority?
In current moment show second window (see answer 10 in this topic) with Python message. You can add "debug" options for write all messages (include error) to TXT file in AIMP user folder.

Microsoft change method install VC++. 2019 replaced 2015 version and restrict install older version.

[Алексей Долматов]

doesn't support logging in (so no private playlists/tracks or whatever) - will add later
no way to manage the actual playlists on youtube - not gonna add, youtube-dl doesn't support this

Recommend after realize authorization add option mark-watched for Yotube when finished listen (maybe with percent detected).
I guess this is better than passing a mark only to Last.fm, where scrolling of video titles is not guaranteed.

--mark-watched                   Mark videos watched (YouTube only)
--no-mark-watched                Do not mark videos watched (YouTube only)

Есть, какие либо ошибки воспроизведения?

Почти постоянно, при переходе трека, лезет окно,

если переключать треки, кнопками интерфейса, то вроде бы всё нормально.
Если переключать треки, двойным кликом в окне плейлиста, то лезет такое,

После непродолжительного тыканья и переключения, плеер завис, пришлось убивать процесс.
