[PLUGIN] YouTube Music

[Miguel_Genova]

I’ve not used Volumio since my post.
I’ve run It now and You Tube cast receiver doesn’t work.
You Tube Music runs Ok.
My Volumio run on Pi5 with un external DAC.

So I have made some progress…well sort of. When using Volumio plugin to play a song, I am limited to 160kbps VBR. Same happens when I cast from iOS YT Music app. However, when using Android YT Music app to cast to Vokumio, I can get 256kbps.

Not sure if anyone else has a similar issue? Or are you able to get 256kbps?

Finally managed to fix the issue. I was using Youtube cookie in both Youtube and YT Music settings. That resulted in YT Music being restricted to 160kbps. I changed YT Music cookie to one from YT Music site (music.youtube.com) and I can get 256kbps streams now.

I just installed volumio bookworm beta 4.011 (on a proxmox VE), even though you have to sign up to volumio now, which annoys me, I just downloaded the plugin, activated, got the cookie and now I’m listening to music. Great. Thanks a lot for your effort and patience!

Hi, short question, I don’t know whose “fault” it is:
I access volumio, which is running on a proxmox VE*), through different devices (laptop, phone etc.) using its static IP adress. Once I start the music search from another device, the music stops playing. Is there a reason for that? It used to be playing until I eventually clicked one of the search results. Or is it volumio’s or even proxmox’ fault?

*)Installed according this guideline:

Thanks for moving my question here. I’m fighting Proxmox right now. Made the necessary BIOS changes, one hint: it’s not “apt install unzip” but “apt-get install unzip” maybe clear to the most here, I had some issues. I’m continuing. And of course you need to make the necessary changes to the repositories when you don’t have a subscription (since I’m not a productive user, I don’t) 1 hour later the first music plays. I’m stunned. Thanks!

Did anyone successfully setup their Volumio with YouTube Music? I installed the plugin on Volumio version 3.512. When I choose YouTube Music and select Home, I see some albums come up but if I click on any of the selections, I get an error (failed to decode…).
I have Youtube subscription and would like to play youtube music through Volumio.

Thanks for any help/guidance/insights…

Youtube2 is the only one that was really reliable so I’m keen to start using it again. The cast receiver hardly ever works reliably unfortunately (but good sometimes, hard to know if the other plugins are able to be installed as well).
I’d rather just search the youtube vid from the native volumio player.

Youtube Music - Still trying to find the ‘browse’ line in Chrome (F12) to set up the cookie. It’s all pretty convoluted, there used to be a login screen.

Always hard to know if the player and/or plugins should be installed using test mode or not as well. Chromecast just works but isn’t gapless.
