Need help installing the YouTube plug-in for qmmp

Software & Operating Systems Linux

Hi guys,

I am new to the Level one tech forums!

I installed Pop-os recently and I am quite happy with it.

However, I have been looking for a player that is similar to Foobar2000 for windows. I quite like qmmp and is about the closest one to all the features I would like, the only downside it does not allow me to play any youtube videos. But there is a plugin but requires me to download python-qt, qjson and youtube-dl.

But I am not sure exactly how to install all of those and to compile it into the plugin for qmmp.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey! Welcome to the forum.

So, I’m not sure the specifics on the first two, but this worked for me on POP!_OS

sudo apt install python-qt4 libqjson-dev youtube-dl

When in doubt, you can use the package manager to search for a keyword.

apt search python-qt

It’ll point you at a few packages. I picked the one that looked the most relevant. Hopefully this will get you a start in the right direction.

Thanks for that!

Now when running the make -j4 command in the directory for the youtube plugin for qmmp. I seem to be getting these errors, which most seem to come down to not finding the directories.
