So this is how I should proceed
-
Install Debian version: 12 (bookworm)
-
Install Volumio 3.779
-
Install Youtube v2.1.0 Beta
-
???
No. Volumio is a distro itself so you canāt install it like an app. Given the current situation, you would have to wait for Volumio to release a bookworm-based version.
Hello,
I hope someone can assist me with this Youtube2 issue Iāve been having lately.
After logging in in the app settings it shows me as just logged in, where earlier it would show my username as well. When I then go and try out the app Iām just met by a red box showing āError. No resultsā.
If I log out it works fine, but then I donāt have my Youtube Premium advantages, history etc.
Anyone else with the same problem or maybe a solution?
Thank you a lot in advance

Iām having the same issue and have reverted to casting. I really miss being able to have a browser tab open and being able to manage mixing my local sources from my nas with YTM from a single interface. I hope someone fixes this. Is a roll back to a previous release a possible solution?
Please read above.
Is this issue fixed? If not any workarounds?
Thanks a lot for the explanation.
So any work around that I can try or signing out of YT Music is the only option?
I go to //volumiopc.local/dev and I clicked on the TRUE to enable plug test mode, then I restarted my Volumio OS but it does not show any new Youtube 2 plugins. It only shows version 2.1.1 and that version does not work anymore. SIGHHHHā¦this is so frustrating. All I want is to stream Youtube music in the very high quality that this plugin with Volumio offers, and it keeps breaking. So bummed out. 
Then I click the TRUE button but it does not do anything. ? Then I go back to volumio.local and restart volumio, then back in Volumio, only version 2.1.0 for Youtube2 is showing, not the latest betas. ?
Sooo Sooo bummed out. I had issues with my SHD Studio from MiniDSP running Volumio because Youtube plugin stopped working. I then setup a dedicated music PC for Volumio was overjoyed and over the moon that it was allowing me to use Youtube 2 plugin, along with a host of other plugins that the minidsp version of Volumio was not showing. Nowā¦Youtube plugin is no longer working. I tried to SSH into my volumio and it is not accepting the passwordā¦goodness, I though I had written down all the passwords, but perhaps that one slipped through. Is there any high quality, low-price option, of streaming Youtube in high quality that Volumio offers, when the plugin works, where we do not have to face this uncertainty and drama when Youtube makes changes? I have tens of thousands of dollars in DACs, and amplifiers, and run a fully-active digital crossover system, with my own custom-built DIY speaker system, so I take my audio hobby very seriously, and this Youtube plugin is such a HOOT when it works!!
Itās very clearly posted above that the plugin is currently not working due to changes by YT. Hopefully a fix or workaround will come, but that is the situation right now.
I have installed V1.2.2 right now and so far it plays fine 
Many thx for your efforts!
Patrick, is there a way we can compensate you for your time on this? Can you please please please provide the new Youtube2 plugin for minidspshd ? The Minidsp SHD Studio is trying to download the plugin from https://plugins.volumio.workers.dev/pluginsv2/downloadLatest/youtube2/minidspshd/buster/armhf and only version 1.1.5 is there. Please? I would really really appreciate it.
And I would like to add one additional note to VOLUMIO. I am seriously contending for which system/environment/ecosystem I will settle with for streaming Youtube music and this issue with not only MINIDSP not having access to current plugins, but overall the problems with volumio and the way the plugins interact with streaming services is really a huge turn-off for me. I was seriously considering purchasing a license for using Volumio on my dedicated PC because it seems the PC has much more access to all the plugins that are not showing up for the miniDSP SHD Studio Volumio version. BUT this issue with the Youtube plugin continually breaking is really just got me considering a different company/path, whatever. Very very frustratedā¦
Please keep in mind that the youtube plugins are contributed by community members, just like you and me and not Volumio.
The fact that they break is not caused by Volumio and/or @patrickkfkan. They break because Google thinks itās funny to keep adding changes and changes.
This was already mentioned by Patrickkfan. So please read the topics before drawing the wrong conclusion.
The YouTube plugin had worked perfectly for a few weeks when I joined Volumio with version 3.6xx, canāt remember exactly. About a week ago, when I turned on the system and tried to play YouTube music, it shows āError No resultā.
I had tried:
- Uninstall plugin, restart, install plugin, restart again, problem persist
- Reflash the sd, loaded with latest version 3.779 and YouTube music plugin version 1.1.3, problem persist
However, I observed under the Music folder, Favorites always shows a YouTube music that I saved before. When I tried to remove it from the Favorites, it stays and cannot be removed.
I appreciate if anyone had a solution with this problem before and please let me know.
The youtube cast streaming option DOES work and is a good workaround for now. Itās not airplay so it doesnāt have extra layers of bs from your phone. I have been using that and itās made it totally tolerable. Huge volumio fan and most of my music is flac anyways, but I use YT Music alot for songs Iām practicing / learning.
