Adds a compact YouTube livestream controller above the vault name in Obsidian's sidebar, so you can listen to (or watch) a YouTube livestream without leaving your notes.

Features

  • A small play/pause control and volume slider docked above the file explorer's nav header.

  • Configure the livestream URL and default volume from the plugin settings.

  • The player persists across layout changes and reloads with your last saved settings.

Usage

  1. Open Settings → TubeNote and paste the URL of the YouTube livestream (or any YouTube video) you want to control, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID.
  2. Set your preferred default volume.
  3. Use the play/pause button and volume slider docked at the top of the sidebar to control playback.

Network use

This plugin loads the official YouTube IFrame Player API (https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api) from YouTube's servers, and embeds a YouTube video player for the livestream URL you provide. No other external service is contacted, and no data is sent anywhere by the plugin itself beyond what YouTube's own player requires to stream video/audio.

Installation

From Obsidian (once published)

  1. Open Settings → Community plugins → Browse.
  2. Search for "TubeNote" and select Install.
  3. Enable the plugin.

Manual installation

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release.
  2. Copy them into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/tubenote/.
  3. Reload Obsidian and enable TubeNote under Community plugins.
