Streamus™

A Google Chrome extension which allows users to add YouTube videos to playlists, share playlists and discover new YouTube videos.

Overview

Streamus consists of a front-end client, the Google Chrome extension, a back-end server ("Streamus Server"), server test cases ("Streamus Server Tests"), and a website.

The server's modules are managed by NuGet Package Manager.

The server is used to record information about a given user's listening experience. All videos, playlist items, playlists and folders are written to the database. The server is used to enable sharing of playlists between users by copying a playlist row and providing a link to the new row to other users.
