Requires: .NET 8

This is a simple YouTube player for your favorite videos.

This is a rewrite of Toby using C# and Blazor. This project is using the server-side hosting model.

NOTE: Currently the database shipping in the repo is a slightly modified one from Toby. It's pre-populated with videos I like. Use the command /all to list them or /manage to delete them all. Or if using Visual Studio you can just delete the included database and run the Entity Framework migration to create a new empty database.

NOTE: If you want to search YouTube you'll need a YouTube Data API key. This code needs to be added to an environment variable on your machine called YOUTUBE_API_KEY.

To obtain a YouTube Data API key you need a Google account and need to go to Google's developer console to obtain one.

Search commands:

• /all or /ls: lists all videos in the database
• /clear: clear search results
• /crp or /clear-recently-played: clear recently played
• /group [name] or /g [name]: lists videos in a specific group
• /favorites or /fav: list favorite videos
• /manage or /mg: video management
• /manage-recently-played or /mgrp: recently played management
• /manage-groups or /mgg: group management
• /recently-played or /rp: list all recently played videos
• [search term]: search locally for video
• /youtube [search term] or /yt [search term]: search YouTube for videos

NOTE: When using manage there is a search box to search within the videos you are managing. You can use /all to show all videos after a narrow search.

The Recently Played videos are limited to 30 videos.

• server: Blazor server-side project
• electron: Run Toby inside Electron
  • Run Toby then start Electron (this will be changed in the future so that all you need to do is run Electron and it'll start Toby up)
