BarkingLlama Roulette adds a simple shortcode and REST endpoint that selects a random YouTube video from a configured playlist and embeds it on your site.
Perfect for motivational cards as Shorts, “daily randomness” pages, or any curated playlist you want to keep fresh.
Features: 
* Shortcode: [llama_roulette] 
* REST endpoint: /wp-json/llama-roulette/v1/random 
* Playlist caching via transients to reduce YouTube API calls 
* Optional Privacy Enhanced Mode (youtube-nocookie embeds) 
* “Start Muted” setting for reliable autoplay
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin uses the YouTube Data API v3 (Google) to retrieve videos from the configured YouTube playlist so it can select and display a random video.
What data is sent and when: 
* The configured playlist ID (or playlist ID parsed from a provided playlist URL) is sent when the plugin requests playlist items. 
* The configured YouTube API key is sent with those API requests for authentication. 
* These requests occur when cached playlist data is missing or expired, or when playlist data must be refreshed.
Service provider: 
* Google / YouTube Data API v3

Now with Gutenberg block!
Sp*tify Play Button lets you easily add a Spotify Play Button for instant play of album, playlist or song by adding the Sp*tify Play Button for WordPress block or adding a shortcode:
Album example: 
 [spotifyplaybutton play=”https://open.spotify.com/album/5PvkD4XryLL9oC4NFItYIM?si=pT6des85S6WPQY7O9ipGPw”] 
Also works with old Spotify URI: 
 [spotify:album:7JggdVIipgSShK1uk7N1hP]
Playlist example: 
 [spotifyplaybutton play=”https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E39g1r00WoOvS?si=e05ab8be00c24b39″] 
Also works with old Spotify URI: 
 [spotify:user:jonk:playlist:65ujzBs6WTdWDIr17dOXUm]
Song example: 
 [spotifyplaybutton play=”https://open.spotify.com/track/6te1QldCR1BWiNgwZADpu4?si=ee0dfebaa2944756″] 
Also works with old Spotify URI: 
 [spotify:track:2qntSA2cwerjTduHPuKnW5]
You don’t have to remember these shortcodes. If you are using Gutenberg, there is a block with all the settings you need. And if you’re using the Classic editor there’s a Sp*tify Play Button in the editor.
Simply right click on album, playlist or song in Spotify and click “Share” and then click “URI”. Either paste that together with the shortcode above or just use the admin button and paste the URI there.
You can set the style for your Sp*tify Play Buttons on the “Sp*tify Play Button Settings” page under the “Settings” menu (http://YOURBLOG/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=spotifyplaybutton_settings).
You can also add attributes to customize a single Sp*tify Play Button:
<ol>
<li>
view
</li>
<li>
size
</li>
<li>
sizetype
</li>
<li>
link
</li>
</ol>
All of these will override the settings in “Sp*tify Play Button Settings” for the Sp*tify Play Button and they are all optional.
Example: <code>[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Xm7KEL5NFHwPboQY22BcZ?si=c99d69e2c916447b" size="0" sizetype="big"]</code>
