Setlist Player

are you a musician who likes to practice along with youtube videos? #metoo! so i humbly submit to you the setlist player plugin.

if you follow this blog, you’ll know that me likey the drums, and in the lead-up to this plugin, i’ve used a continually evolving variation of this functionality for some time now.

check these neato features! 👀

  • add yt vids to build your practice setlist
  • add more than one player per page, if you’re into that sort of thing (soundboards anyone?)
  • keyboard controls to change tracks, speed, restart, loop, and switch to audio-only
  • avoids ads by playing vids in embeds vs on yt directly
Controls: Space Play/Pause r Restart p Previous n Next i Speed+ d Speed-

why keyboard controls? because during practice i’ve been known to wear ahead gloves, and they’re not touchpad friendly. now i can control playback with gloves, sticks, or well-thrown pebbles.

also-also, with this plugin my daughter can just look at her setlist page for practice, and not need to search and nav thru yt, which can be infinitely distracting.

what’s new 🌟

version 0.1.0 is the first release, with all the bells/whistles you see above! it’s not in the wporg plugin dir yet, but i’ll be submitting it soon.
