Simple YouTube Title Announcer v0.1 (2022)

[chain]

Simple is the keyword. You don't need any registrations or API keys.
Just load the script and it should work in any channel your bot is in.
Important: mIRC v7.56+ is required, because of $urlget function.

How to install:

Let's assume your mIRC is installed in D:\mIRC\

1. Copy and save the script code in a file. For example: youtube_title.mrc
2. Put the saved file in your scripts folder (example: D:\mIRC\scripts)
3. Open mIRC and do: //load -rs scripts/youtube_title.mrc

How to Uninstall:

1. Open mIRC and do: //unload -rs scripts/youtube_title.mrc
   That's it. No garbage or variables left behind.

---

The script can easily break if YouTube make changes to their website.
If it is broken or you find a bug or you have a suggestion - leave a comment below.
I will try to keep the script in working condition and fix bugs as soon as possible.
