@patrickkfkan can you update youtube2 again?

624

Itā€™s working fine here.

625

YT Music is also working.

626

yes. today youtube2 working again.

627

Mine wasnā€™t working either again, was better when you would login etc, not all this token nonsense.

May uninstall all of it and try the casting plugin again but none of them really work unfortunately and very buggy.

Itā€™s easier just using Google Chromecast Audio.

628

it is google, not by plugins. This is Tom and Jerry game. Live with this game and dont complain

629

Yes I understand that mate. Itā€™s just all the tinkering breaks a lot of things that were fine in the strive to achieve something better. I can live with it as Iā€™m using RPi (although have premium membership) but would expect it to be pretty schmick using the Volumio hardware.

I did type a code in the manual pairing (tv code) into the mobile app, didnā€™t work either. kind of does but nothing plays (from phone or pc)

(No code: receiver not running)

Just not worth the trouble when i can use another app and input on the DAC.

For some obscure reason, mine started working again.
System: 4.080
Plugin: 2.4.0

I canā€™t recall having done anything after it stopped working. Apart from a power outage, so a full power-down-restart.

631

Lucky, neither YouTube plugin works.
Is that beta plugin and non beta player?
Easier to just use my Chromecast Audio, good thing I kept it and these are low bitrate files anyway.

632

The YT Music plugin (v2.4.0) is working for me (after updating the cookie).

633

Ok. May have to try that again. I remember it was advised to uninstall YouTube 2 if you were using the cast receiver plugin. Out Of all of them yt2 worked well for a long time before all the cookie stuff.

Yt music goes well with CCA, either way you have to search for the video but most are on there as Audio.
That was the only use for the cast plugin and volumio, as CCA canā€™t cast videos.

634

@patrickkfkan After Volumio update Version 4.084 youtube2 plugin 2.4.0 doesnā€™t 'work anymore. Instead YouTube music plugin is Ok.

635

I reflashed the latest volumio os version and now itā€™s all ok, youtube2 started working again !

can you login to youtube normally, or have to go and find the cookies and all that in developer mode browser? Mine has never worked again.

Itā€™s pointless as the audio quality is rubbish anyway. Iā€™m only trialling Spotify but happy to see a lot of the channels are on Spotify at CD quality. Would be nice if it worked though as use Tidal as my primary streamer.

637

I keep getting this on all videos on 2.4.0 and 4.097

If it is innertube breaking on API changes why not trying spawning a child process on yt-dlp to get the stream url?
