Hi would it be possible to create a script to blacklist certain youtube links, some users like to play stupid things on the bot and it becomes quite irritating.

If you do could !blacklist http://www.youtube.com/watch?12345 and it would then instantly skip the song or block it from playing that would be perfect!

The nasty way to do it would be to have a script that gets the portion of the YouTube url with the ID of the video and compare it to an array set in the script options for a matching ID. If it matches, then it'll skip the song or not play at all.

If you had a user who had full playback of the bot (through the built in permissions), then the song would skip since the script cannot stop a command which is built in and granted to a user. If you had a script control use can use the bot, then it just wouldn't play at all.

A final idea which IMO would be the best is to have the script control permissions and use YouTube's API to get the title of a video. Then it'll check the title for a list of keywords (ex: 10 hours, ear rape, etc.) and if there's a match it won't play.

I can code it the first option, but it'll be a while till I'm home.
