Frequently asked questions
How do I actually play a YouTube video on a screen in Minecraft?
Place a WaterMedia screen, then use the screen's URL or media command to paste a YouTube link. The YouTube plugin intercepts the link and hands it to NewPipeExtractor, which resolves the stream and starts playback on the screen.
Why won't my YouTube link load even though the plugin is installed?
Most failures come from the plugin not being loaded alongside WaterMedia, or from a link format NewPipeExtractor can't resolve, such as a shortened or region-locked URL. Try the full watch URL and confirm the plugin jar sits in the same mods folder as WaterMedia.
Do I need the YouTube plugin if WaterMedia already plays videos?
Yes for YouTube specifically. WaterMedia handles the screen and playback 
framework, but it does not ship YouTube extraction on its own, so the plugin is what actually resolves YouTube links into playable streams.

Yes. Point a WaterMedia speaker at the same YouTube URL and it will pull the audio stream instead of rendering video, so you can use it for music or radio-style setups without a screen.
