Currently, when you install the extension and all the required files, when you visit a youtube video it will prompt you if you want to view the video locally. After pressing OK and waiting a few seconds, omxplayer will pop up displaying the video. It's as simple as that!
Edit: Now using omxplayerGUI and all bugs known so far have been fixed. Active development is continuing for support for more features, like over 300 new websites. If the prompt doesn't load, try refreshing the page.\
Edit 2: Now, I've updated the extension to now support >600 websites simply by clicking the extension icon!
Install. If you recently installed Chromium, this should already be installed
Run this in the terminal
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install rpi-youtube
Then, install the Chrome extension from the official store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... ijaekhhlgn
It should be updated regularly:
Code: Select all
run_omxplayer.py -U
Any problems can be reported on Github.
Known problems:
No support for users other than pi (this is being worked on)

Currently, some features are still being tested, such as setting the omxplayer size and audio output. More features are to come and I'm open to suggestions! Thanks!
