JukeTube

A YouTube powered jukebox built with AngularJS.

Purpose

When I attend parties, YouTube is often used as the sole music provider. People in turn launch the video they want to hear. The process goes as follows:

open a new tab
browse to YouTube
search for a video
open and instantly pause it (to preload it)
wait for the current video to stop
launch the new video

Several problems arise from this process:

need to wait for the current video to stop before launching a new one
need to permanently have someone queuing and launching a new video
no automatic play, so if the current video ends, there's no music
time spent queuing a new video
tons of tabs opened

Features

JukeTube is an attempt to simplify this scenario.

Single page app
Ajax search
Playlists (upcoming and archived videos)
Automatic play (as soon as the current video ends)

Requirements

You only need a valid YouTube Data API v3 key to copy-paste in app.js. (The current one only works on my domain).

Possible enhancements

Play/Pause/Next/Previous controls (currently, only the state is shown).
Use the YouTube API to retrieve the pre-populated video titles using the ID. Right now, the titles are hard-coded.
Save the current playlist in LocalStorage or a cookie and restore it on the next visit
Add a Clear playlist button.
Add drag controls to reorder the playlist items.
Add search results pagination (the YouTube API provides a pageToken parameter).
