YTPlayer

YTPlayer is an unofficial YouTube client for SailfishOS.

   

Getting the source

Since YTPlayer uses some extra 3rd party components shipped in git submodules it needs to be cloned with --recursive option. Ex:

• git clone --recursive https://github.com/direc85/sailfish-ytplayer.git

Build Prequisites

• SailfishOS SDK (https://sailfishos.org/develop/sdk-overview/)
• YouTube Data API v3 key & client ID (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/)

Building

1. Paste your YouTube Data API v3 key into a file called youtube-data-api-v3.key and place it in the YTPlayer source directory.
2. Copy YouTube client ID JSON file into YTPlayer source directory. Rename the file to youtube-client-id.json
3. Start the SailfishOS SDK.
4. Load harbour-ytplayer.pro file.
5. Build and deploy the application to your phone/tablet/emulator.

If translations don't work, try the following:

1. Select i486/armv7hl > Release > Deploy as ARM package
2. Build > Clean project "harbour-ytplayer"
3. Build > Build project "harbour-ytplayer" (or click the hammer icon)
4. Build > Deploy project "harbour-ytplayer" (or click the play icon)

Translating

If you would like to create a new translation for YTPlayer, this is roughly how it's done:

• Fork the project
• Copy translations/en_GB.ts file to your language (e.g. no.ts for Norwgian)
• Add the new file to translations/translations.pri files TRANSLATIONS section accordingly
• Translate the new file
  • Qt Linguist comes with Sailfish Application SDK
  • Your generic UTF-8 capable text editor will work, too
• Test the translation
• Commit the changes
• Make a pull request

Or you can avoid forking by just creating a new issue and attach the new translated .ts file in the issue.
