I see there is a new beta version of the plug in up, at the moment it stalls at 10% download. I’ll try again later.

v2.5.0 is the latest version but the submission process failed due to backend error. Appears the plugin system doesn’t rollback on error so you’re seeing the new version in the plugin store but it’ll never install. I’d have to resubmit when Volumio fixes the issue.
Same for the YouTube2 and YT Cast Receiver plugins.

Noob question: Is there a way to install the plugin (2.5.0) from the command line?
SSH into Volumio, then:
$ git clone https://github.com/patrickkfkan/volumio-ytmusic.git
$ cd volumio-ytmusic
$ npm i
$ npm run build
If fresh install:
$ volumio plugin install
If update:
$ volumio plugin update

Thank you Patrick! The install went smoothly, and v2.5.0 works!
Install on Volumio 4.x.
it worked thanks!
can we do the same way the rest of the plugins?
So when I tried the latest version of Volumio from their webpage on the Pi 5 I had nothing but issues. After many tries I created an image using the Pi Imager and selecting Pi 5 and then Volumio. I assumed it installed Volumio 4 but I guess not - but it did setup and run everything smoothly, compared to using V4.
yes, just git clone the corresponding respository:
YouTube2:
$ git clone https://github.com/patrickkfkan/volumio-youtube2.git
$ cd volumio-youtube2
...
YouTube Cast Receiver:
$ git clone https://github.com/patrickkfkan/volumio-ytcr.git
$ cd volumio-ytcr
...
All I can say is that the plugins will not work on Volumio 3.x
i had to run npm audit fix --force for youtube cast.
youtube2 worked finally after did a clean install.
youtube cast still blank page
thats the errors that i saw on the installation…
YouTube2 didn’t work first time after update probably because you didn’t restart Volumio.
For YouTube Cast Receiver, the RangeError is a Volumio issue that can be worked around as follows:
// Start from scratch since you did "npm audit --force"
$ cd ~/
$ rm -rf volumio-ytcr
$ git clone https://github.com/patrickkfkan/volumio-ytcr.git
$ cd volumio-ytcr
$ npm i
$ npm run build
// Important to avoid RangeError
$ rm -rf node_modules
$ volumio plugin update
finally i fixed youtube cast also.
thanks!
Thanks for fixing the plugin @patrickkfkan. I am away at the moment, but will update in a few days when I return. I just wanted to pass on my thanks for a great plug in, that youtube seem intent on breaking!
Thanks, it works. 
Did it this way, doesn’t work. I uninstalled the plugin, restarted volumio, installed the plugin, in the plugin menu 2.5 is showing but still doesn’t play. Yes, I got a fresh cookie. Volumio is 4.097.
Logs??
Good morning.
The YouTube Music plugin no longer worked.
I did a clean install of Volumio 4.119, but YouTube Music wouldn’t install on version 2.5.0, and 2.4.0 didn’t work.
I forced the installation to download from GitHub via SSH. I then activated the plugin from the Volumio menu.
I added cookies. Now it works.
Thank you very much.
Of course I didn’t activate them.
I uninstalled ytmusic on the desktop, but the directory remained and cloning was rejected since it wasn’t empty. I deleted the folder manually. Can that be the problem? I try it again as soon as I’m able to and turn on the logs.
