For some reason the page is very slow to interact with and type on while using my Motorola Atrix (supposedly a fast device). Ideally, the home page would have just a textarea and no video playing by default.
Nice work.
I'd love to read about the technology behind. It works well even on names I typed in in Polish.
When I clicked on a "Death Cab For Cutie" video in the list I was shown a 50-minute academic video about search engine quality. Slightly ironic.
More useful for building playlists on the fly rather than having a prepared list of songs as roll.io does.
feature request: allow me to append to a playlist without resetting
I wonder why everyone seems to get what this does from reading the description. When I read "eat and shit", I assume that the "food" is "transformed" into ... youtube videos. So I thought this would generate new videos and upload them to youtube automatically, maybe showing the txt files as a huge StarWars scroller, or something.
Sorry. that's me trying to sound cool in 80 characters (minus "Show HN:")
'Show HN: roll.io plays youtube videos searching list of text. Useful?'
That aside, neat app. It's a clever tagline though.
Now I see I should have stick to it. Deep inside me I knew if the service would be useful to me, it would be to some other folks, but I was a bit disappointed and didn't correct the bugs that the project had.
Here is the website if you guys want to check:

It is buggy, sometimes doesn't change to the next video and it lacks the controls and the display of the playlist as this site does and it is a lot slower. It also lacks the upload of a text file. But I had other ideas in mind, the mode implemented was supposed to be the "feeling lucky" mode, where you just typed each video one per line and hoped it would match to the video you wanted, but you'd also have a way to create playlist more carefully by passing the exact urls of the videos you wanted, like this site does.
How do you overcome this feeling when you know you should have sticked to your guts?
Anyway, good work guys! This is exactly what I wanted.
