WATERMeDIA: YOUTUBE PLUGIN
This plugin for WATERMeDIA adds YOUTUBE support, it shades all the needed libraries and inject into WATERMeDIA the patching logic.
It uses NewPipeExtractor as the Youtube extractor engine, making reliable access to videos of the platform
IMPORTANT
This only works on JAVA 17 (1.18.2+), any other version that doesn't run on JAVA 17 isnt supported (that includes 1.16.5).
VERSION SCHEMA
This plugin follows the WATERMeDIA version schema, matching with it. So, this is the "version 2" of the plugin because it was for the version 2 of WATERMeDIA, you have to be sure the plugin matches with the version of watermedia installed, otherwise you will get a crash if you use the version 3 of the plugin and the version 2 of watermedia.
