Re: [orca-list] youtube-viewer login question

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

I must not be explaining myself clearly.  Once inside of youtube-viewer 
and you have to be inside of youtube-viewer to login to youtube so 
already subscribed channels are shown to you you run the :login command.
 You are given a unique url that's different each time generated and 
that url takes you to a google authorization code page.  You log in on 
the google authorization page and you authorize youtube-viewer to do 
things with your youtube account.  Once done you get a google 
authorization code that you need to copy and then leave the google 
authorization page and you need to paste that code into the 
youtube-viewer code box and then finish the process on youtube-viewer. 
You use that code on youtube-viewer until inside youtube-viewer you run 
the :logout command which removes the code from youtube-viewer.  Thanks 
for the login password url, I'll have a read through this since I expect 
it will be helpful with other applications.
