This is a LUA script to manage OBS browser source and add a URL to play embedded videos from Youtube. The script just makes it simple to insert a single video player, create custom playlists or load a Youtube generated list via a remote URL using OBS browser source, without all the ads and page elements on the Youtube page. Report bugs here in the thread.
