YouTube Subscriber Counter

owain1988

I was wondering if someone with the know how would be able to code a YouTube subscriber counter with a counter like Lametric clocks?

I presume that a lot of the code would already exist in the form of the DIY social media counters and that maybe the Facebook counter module could be adapted somehow.

Thanks.

Good Idea !, Google gives api to get the subscriber count and it can reuse the fbPageCounter module’s UI.

Hey, I thought this was a cool project, so I have created something like that. You can find it under https://github.com/choffmann/MMM-YT-SubCount.

I hope this is what you wanted. I don’t know how exactly you want the number of the subscription, but the Google API rounded the value down, so 12,345 will shown as 12300 or 12.3K.

@choffmann - nice module.

Here’s a similar one I put together last year - https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-YouTubeChannelStats

@ianperrin Thank you for this!! I was going crazy with my MM, and swapping in your YouTube plugin fixed all kinds of problems I was having, that I have now figured out were because the older “MMM-YT-Stats” plugin is apparently broken.

How do you get a subscriber counter on YouTube?

Hi, I understand nothing about this at all. Guys, could you explain to me why I need this? And one more question. How do you convert YouTube videos to other formats? Do you use this https://getmp3.pro/ service or something else? On Windows, we need video in an AVI container, on MacOS - in MOV, we take out the phone and already switch from AVI to MP4 or 3GP, and it’s generally better to upload videos to the Internet in FLV. Which service is best for that?
