Chris Handley's YT_launcher program is included, which allows you to run the

YT_launcher.lha and copy YT into the directory YT.rexx resides in.

============================================================================

Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

YT.rexx is a script for providing direct video & audio links from YouTube URLs,
and the ability to stream them within MPlayer. Just provide a URL and it will
display all of the available video links found and let you play them.

This script can be used on any website containing links to a YouTube video, and
also supports the ability to stream live content within FFplay.

With just a few configurations, all of these abilities can be used within your
Amiga web browsers. Just right-click to play the YouTube videos.

An extensive AmigaGuide documentation is available within the archive.
