probably already have it installed. If it doesn't, well, now you have
Python installed.
How can I make the bot announce titles of URLs (links) posted in channels
=========================================================================
This is called the "title snarfer". You can enable it with::
load Web
config supybot.plugins.Web.titleSnarfer True
If you only want it for some channels but not all, use this instead of the last command::
config channel #channel supybot.plugins.Web.titleSnarfer True
Why doesn't the title snarfer announce links from a particular website (eg. Youtube)?
=====================================================================================
Limnoria needs to fetch pages to get their title. But in order to avoid being
overloaded by users, it only fetches the beginning (the first 8kB if I recall
correctly). That's enough to find the title of most pages, but in the last years
Youtube has become so bloated it isn't.
If you are ok with Limnoria fetching more data when users post URLs, you can use::
config supybot.protocols.http.peekSize 32000
This will make it fetch 32kB from every link, instead of the default 8kB.
This should be enough for Youtube for now. If not enough for other websites,
try increasing it further.
Can I make Supybot silent, but still working on channel (as titlesnarfer or something)?
