Just can't stay away

This DOS script can be used with YAM.
If in a mail an URL is given , a double click will either open the URL in muiOWB or if it points to a YouTube video, will play it.
I installed it in sys:utilities getvideo drawer. You may have to edit for your system.


.KEY url/A

;called from YAM "on clicking URL"  sys:Utilities/getVideo/PlayYTube %p



set metube `cut  "<url>" char -28`

cd sys:Utilities/getVideo

IF  $metube EQ "http://www.youtube.com/watch"

    ; Requestchoice video  "<url>" ok

    Getvideo.rexx "<url>" play

ELSE

    cd datas:muiowb  ; datas:muiowb/owblauncher does nothing 

    waitforport OWB.1 timeout 0; returns 0 if found ; 5 if not

    IF WARN

        RUN owblauncher 

        waitforport OWB.1 timeout 10

        IF WARN

            echo "waited not long enough or OWBlauncher problem"

        ELSE

            wait 3 ; the rexx command  below will not work without it

            

            RX "address OWB.1 'OPEN  NAME ""<url>"" '"

        ENDIF

    ELSE

        RX "address OWB.1 'OPEN  NAME ""<url>"" '"

    ENDIF

ENDIF

cd sys:Utilities/getVideo

If you solved this in other way would be interested in knowing how

Quite a regular

Appears noone has a better solution

Myself I rarely get youtube links in e-mails, but sometimes over chat, like IRC or MSN. It can probably be connected to those too.

Home away from home

An alternative would be to copy the URL into the clipboard (I assume YAM can do that!), and then use ClipDown to view the video.

I already have ClipDown run when OWB is run (thanks to a little script), and it wouldn't be any harder to do that with YAM, SimpleMail, etc. (But same as Deniil, I rarely get YouTube links in email, so I haven't bothered.)
