Plasma 5 Multimedia player video youtube
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/zanturik/plasmatube
Plasmoid for viewing youtube videos on your desktop.
You should have google account to use this plasmoid.
Current version 3.0.6
Features:
* playing youtube video :)
* searching video, channels and playlist
* presets editing and sorting (settings -> youtube channels -> click and hold, than drag)
* folders for different categories of video/playlists
* number of videos for channels/playlists in search results
* pin to stay "always on top" when docked in a panel
* drag and drop youtube links to view them
* play list of video non-stop (stop at the last video)
How to use
* Add widget -> Setting -> Google Account -> do some magic -> enjoy! :)
Roadmap (when I`ll have time for a new release in future):
* a way to copy/share video url
* "recommended" videos from youtube
* preferred language for search
Troubleshooting
* Clicking on video recomendation (URL) make plasma crash. It is a QT version 5.15.(0-2) bug - https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-87378 just update QT if it's already fixed.
* Version 3.0.6 requires QT 5.14 (or higher). If you have lower QT version in your distro (or you see the message "module QtQml version 2.14 is not installed") - use 3.0.4 (or 2.8.2).
* Version 2.8.2 is the latest version using minimum of dependencies. v3.0 requires qt-webview (qml-module-qtwebview for ubuntu) and qt-localstorage (qml-module-qtquick-localstorage for ubuntu) modules (name can differ for different OS). If you don't want (couldn't) install/use these dependencies, please use v2.8.2.
* If you see the message "Your browser doesn't support any video format", but everything is working in your favorite Firefox/Chromium, please test in in Konqueror. Firefox/Chromium doesn't use qt-webkit, but Konqueror (and Plasmatube) does. So, if you are missing some configuration/modules in you Qt, Firefox/Chromium still could be able to play video. Search in Google "Konqueror html5 video %your-distro-name%" to find more detailed information about what you should do with it.
* If you see a message like "missing Qt module", "private is not supported" or "module not found", that means you have outdated version of Qt, or you don't have some qt-modules installed. Please, update your system and install all needed modules.
Don`t hesitate to leave your comments/feedback about usability/features.

Can you confirm that you have an option "Pinned by default" in settings? If you don't have one, I'm afraid you have an old version.

Now, I can set presets for "Chabel" and "Previews"
...but how do I store a simple video like a bookmark?
...this would be very very useful
Is it possible to insert an option to disable previews, that youtube offers on the background of the display?
thank

I consider PlasmaTube really handy to keep handy, playlists broken down by activity ...
I allow myself to suggest something if possible ...
it would be very convenient to keep in the same view of the presets, three distinct groups of presets es.
Playlists TopRated MostRecent
and maybe have the possibility to delete presets (playlists) directly from this page
Ciaoo Zanturikand thank you very much
