⚠️ DEPRECATED
This OCP search skill is deprecated and unmaintained. OCP search skills (
OVOSCommonPlaybackSkill+@ocp_search) are replaced by MediaProvider plugins loaded in-process by theovos-ocp-pipeline-plugin, which dispatches search to them — the replacement isovos-media-provider-youtube. The package is published, but it only does anything once the OCP pipeline's MediaProvider dispatch is the default search path — installing it does not replace this skill under the legacy OCP/ovos-audiostack.ovos-mediais a separate component (the player daemon) and is not involved in search.
- How MediaProviders work / how to migrate: https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-media/blob/dev/docs/media-providers.md
- Base-class deprecation: ovos-workshop#423
This skill keeps working until the OCP pipeline's MediaProvider dispatch becomes the default search path and this repository is archived.
