Notes

This is a Polymer port of JukeTube - an AngularJS app.
This application is not yet ready for production use
It does not use the newer Bower setup for Polymer elements (yet)
It has only been tested in Chromium edge builds / Canary
It uses custom versions of elements found in polymer-elements
A tutorial based on a newer version of this app is currently planned

Elements

Purpose

When you attend parties, YouTube is often used as the sole music provider. People in turn launch the video they want to hear. The process goes as follows:

open a new tab
browse to YouTube
search for a video
open and instantly pause it (to preload it)
wait for the current video to stop
launch the new video

Several problems arise from this process:

need to wait for the current video to stop before launching a new one
need to permanently have someone queuing and launching a new video
no automatic play, so if the current video ends, there's no music
time spent queuing a new video
tons of tabs opened

Features

JukeTube is an attempt to simplify this scenario.

Single page app
Ajax search
Playlists (upcoming and archived videos)
Automatic play (as soon as the current video ends)
