Installation & Updates

You can install it via repository to provide automatic updates (future updates may require to rebuild database)

or install it manually (updates should be installed manually)

• plugin.audio.ytmusic.exp

Important:

On first run it will ask for OAuth authentication. Follow the instructions displayed in the UI.

Using Cookie Data instead of OAuth:

If OAuth authentication is disabled in the settings, on first run it will ask for a headers file with cookie data from your web session. The plugin will accept either 'raw header files' or 'JSON files'.

Please follow this guide https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/lat...on-headers

See the two points below for further guidance:

Creating a JSON file

JSON File template:

{
    "Cookie": "xxxx",
    "X-Goog-Visitor-Id": "yyyy",
    "origin": "https://music.youtube.com"
}

Create the JSON file manually as described in Manual file creation.

Using the raw headers

Copy the request headers to a plain text file as described in Copy authentication headers.

Help needed with maintaining!!!

I am very clueless on this project currently cause this addon was made by foreverguest who has done a very great job maintaining this addon. Be aware that this is a community driven project, so feel free to submit PR's yourself to improve the code and/or help others with support on the forums etc. If you're willing to really participate in the development, please contact me so I can give you write access to the repo. I will do my best to maintain the project for foreverguest. Thanks for understanding!
