Fetches your YouTube “subscriptions” via RSS and provides all uploaded videos in a chronological order with infos about the Channel name, Video title, Upload date and the thumbnail.

Thumbnails are directly embedded from YouTube (transfers the client’s IP to Youtube). Upon clicking a thumbnail, embedds an iframe to youtube-nocookie.com in order to be able to watch the video right there.

Videos are not(!) fetched periodically, but can be polled on-demand via the “reload” button. Fetching is done via an R-script (“yt.R”).

Subscriptions are added via the “url.csv” file, that includes AT LEAST one column names “url”, which contains the YouTube RSS url to that channel.

An example CSV file is included: “url.csv.sample”, which you can use by doing:

mv url.csv.sample url.csv
