[PLUGIN] YouTube2

Thank you. All versions I look at say stable.
Is the beta version somewhere else?

  • Uninstall current version.
  • Enable “Plugins Test Mode” in http://<volumio address>/dev
  • Find the YouTube2 plugin in the plugin store. Click the Details button under it and choose latest beta version to install.
  • Restart Volumio.

All steps mandatory.

Legend worked perfectly. Thank you.

Works like a charm the beta version! I have 160 kbps sound coming out my setup… My question is: can I see the vid as well? I have the now playing plugin installed, but there you only see a static cover.

@Quanticus volumio doesn’t support video…

Pls. post in the thread for the plugin.

Dear colleagues,

I am a beginner to streamer play. I have installed the Volumio on RPi4B with Audiophonics Evo Sabre Q2M DAC box. It has worked very well for my purposes of music play from local files, radios and YouTube, too. But a few days ago, suddenly the YouTube streaming did not work (music search, screen show-up OK but no play, just stopped) though those local files and radios are still working very well. I checked the plugin, the YouTube2, which was version 1.1.5 and the plugin storage shows a button, Update, and so I tried to update. The screen showed successful update but not working again. When I checked the plugin again, there are 1.2.0(beta). 1.1.6(beta), 1.1.5(stable), 1.1.4 & 1.1.3(stable). I tried one by one from 1.1.3 to 1.2.0 but not working, too. When I tried to 1.1.6 and 1.2.0(beta), the installed version resulted in 1.1.5(stable). I produced a log file and found ‘error’ in YouTube keyword lines but I could not interpret. Help is needed, please.

My log file is following;

The plugin should be released as stable tonight or tomorrow.

Today I found the YouTube2 plugin version 1.2.0 changed into ‘stable’ from ‘beta’ as advised by the ‘balbuse’. Of course, I just tried to install this version 1.2.0 from my previous one 1.1.5 and it worked well again as before. Great thanks for all colleagues to resolve the issue. Thank you all again.

Updated:

Thanks for the swift update !

Great thanks for your fast and hard work!

Many thanks for the timely update!!

Something that regularly fails for me is the automatic sign-in. Youtube then does not work, but it is enough to deactivate the plugin and then activate it again and the sign-in works. I suspect this is a problem with timining when booting (?)

Yes same here, including the workaround. This has been the case for as long as I can remember. After a restart of the Pi (4 or 5). I leave mine on most of the time, so not a big issue.

I need to correct myself (checked it just now): Even when it’s showing “Signin in…” the plugin plays. Perhaps not always, but at least it’s not as clear as I thought.

With me, when it’s not logged in properly, the plugin does play, but no access to favourites, etc.

Have installed all possible YT2 stable and beta, from 1.2.1 stable and 1.1.6 beta. played 1 day.
YT2 uninstalled ,reboot then test pluging activated 1.2.1 version installed logged in to google and not playing (big red bars ).same with 1.1.6 beta .but has worked for me the last few days I think with ver.1.1.6 beta .

Same here :frowning:
(I had version 1.2.1 successfull in use until the day before yesterday)
