It wraps the API to let you play individual videos, manage playlists, queue videos, skip, and clear the queue\u2014all from Python code rather than the YouTube app UI.\n\nThe package depends only on requests and installs with low friction. However, it has been abandoned since 2020 and receives no maintenance; the last commit was in 2023 but no releases have followed. This means the library may not work with current YouTube or Chromecast API versions, and any breaking changes will go unfixed.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already uses it. The package is abandoned and has not been updated since 2020, so it is likely incompatible with current YouTube and Chromecast APIs. For new projects, seek an actively maintained Chromecast library or use the official YouTube/Google Cast APIs directly."},"id":"casttube","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/casttube","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/casttube.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/casttube/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-04-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"casttube","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"YouTube chromecast api"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":208520,"position":9530,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
