[PLUGIN] YouTube Music

You got the YouTube link to a track that gets cut, so I can test it here?

Hi,
in raspberry PI5 with Youtube Music after install plugin Peppy-Meter-Basic track are reproduced without audio, after remove Peppy-Meter and reboot everything goes back to normal.

Now except from the Autoplay thing it works fine!

(When I click on the first song of the ā€œTop 3ā€ category in the search, it is playing all three songs even with disabled autoplay.)

Thanks a lot Patrick for your huge effort to provide that service for us!

(BTW what’s the difference between youtube2 and youtube music? Once I switched from youtube 2 to music but no idea why)

This is not autoplay. This is simply Volumio adding all three songs to the queue. Autoplay is when the queue ends, the plugin fetches more songs and add them to the queue for playback.

YouTube2 vs YouTube Music is pretty much the same as visiting www.youtube.com and music.youtube.com. One focuses more on videos and the other more on music (songs, albums and artists). Because YT Music gives you mainly songs (as opposed to videos), if you have YT Premium you get 256 kbps streaming vs 160kbps for videos.

Oh, ok. I don’t like that feature :laughing:

Then I’m at the right place with YT music. Thanks! :+1:

Good evening, today youtube music and youtube2 don’t go in play anymore ! How can I do ? Thanks

Hello,
http error no work anymore failed to decode …

Try stopping and restarting the plugin. Or Google might have changed something again – although I haven’t been affected yet.

I also had problems. Renewing the cookie did the trick.

Hello, I just installed your plugin and inserted the cookie as intended. It stopped working after a while, but I checked this topic and refreshed the cookie as other users suggested, with successful results. My issue is that, before it’d stop working, it would normally play fully through tracks with the ā€œGapless Opus Streamsā€ option enabled, now, even if I enable it, it just skips the track when it’s about to end, usually 10 seconds earlier: this seems to happen with any track I’ve tried. What could be causing this/am I doing anything wrong (unsure as I’m a beginner)? Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

Good evening everyone, my youtube music is not working anymore. Even renewing the cokies gives me error and it doesn’t work. The track search works but when I send to play it fails to decode the stream.
Can anyone help me ? Thank you
