Title: Create a library entry that is just a URL
Post by: imugli on August 03, 2011, 09:58:30 pm

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if this is possible.

I'd like to be able to create a playlist of Youtube videos that is simply a series of URLs.
I don't want to have to store them locally (that's what the interweb is for), but simply have the ability to create my own 80s music video or Movie Trailer "Channel" (for example).

Currently I have this done with internet radio streams etc, whereby MC is the default player for that type of stream, but if I put a youtube URL into the Open URL menu option, it opens in my browser (as you would expect).

Is there any way to do what I'm after?

Cheers,

J.

You could play the clip inside Media Center (browse with Video > Connected Media > YouTube or Theater View > YouTube), and then drag the list entry from Playing Now to a playlist.
