PlaybackLoop was a site that accesses playlists and allows re-sorting playlists in various order. Most notably useful was to sort by created at date to view playlists in chronological order.
PlaybackLoop is down :(
On September 28th, Youtube started erroring saying that PBL is over it's quota. Without warning the quota was set to 0, so PBL is always over quota now. I don't know why Youtube did this all of a sudden without warning.
In the past, I have requested higher quota limits, but have been denied with the following answer
Policy I.1 (Additional Prohibitions) I will try to bring back PBL, but unfortunately it's very hard for a small developer with a hobby site to get any response from Google. Sorry to everyone that has come to PBL and expected continual service.
Anyway we've had a good run and thanks for everyone who has reached out to me. I wish I could promise this site will be fixed, but given this site relied upon youtube and they have blocked PBL, it's not looking great.

- I have made this repo public for others to play with. Technically if this site should work as of 9/2020 if you had a valid youtube api key.
This is a pretty standard Ruby on Rails app. There is a encrypted credentials file in /config. This file has the following format:
secret_key_base: xxxxxxxx
errors_email: info@playbackloop.com
sender_email: info@playbackloop.com
opsworks:
production:
stack_id: xxxxx
app_id: xxxxx
development: &default
google:
api_key: xxxxx
client_id: xxxxx
secret: xxxxx
aws:
access_key: xxxxx
secret_key: xxxxx
region: us-east-1

The opsworks related keys were for deploying via opsworks which is an AWS service that uses chef. You can modify to deploy as you like.
