youtube-playlist-randomizer-controller

Scripts allow controlling your http://youtube-playlist-randomizer.valami.info page from your phone!

Descripion

First app is a simple node app which receives commands from your phone and remembers them for a while. It also tells the second script what to do when it asks.

Second one is a chrome extension that starts up only on http://youtube-playlist-randomizer.valami.info pages. It is asking questions to the first one and, whenever you want, literally clicks on 'Play next' or 'Play previous' buttons on the page.

Moreover, website script sends current and next song titles, so one can GET them. Also POST response will have a title of the song after the change.
