YouTube-as-Command-Control-Server

Imagine being able to control your device with just a few simple commands, without having to lift a finger or type out complex instructions. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, what if we told you that this is now possible, and it's all thanks to the power of YouTube?

This innovative project has harnessed the potential of YouTube live comments as a command control server, allowing users to assign specific actions to certain keywords or phrases in real-time. That's right - using nothing more than your average YouTube video comment section, you can now control your device with unprecedented ease and precision.

Demo Video

Youtube-as-Command-Server.mp4

This video demonstrates the functionality of the program and shows how it can be used to control your device using YouTube live comments.

How it Works

The program uses the pytchat library to connect to YouTube live and read comments. It then processes each comment, checking if it contains any assigned commands. If it does, the program performs the corresponding action using the pynput library.

Commands can be anything from pressing Enter or Caps Lock to typing specific text. The program will only respond to commands that are specifically assigned in the key_map dictionary.

Commands Documentation

The key_map dictionary defines a set of pre-configured key mappings that can be used to control your device using YouTube live comments. Each key mapping is associated with a specific action or command.

Customizing Key Mappings

The key_map dictionary is customizable, allowing you to define your own key mappings and actions. To customize the key map, simply add or modify entries in the dictionary.

For example, if you want to assign a specific action to the "shift" key, you can modify the existing entry:

• "shift": Key.shift,

to something like this:

• "shift": Key.media_volume_down,

This would cause the "Shift" key to decrease the volume when pressed.
