@leeb98 There should be a separate ‘search’ feature, you’re using the ‘filter’ function
Also try the incognito mode, I can’t get it to work when I’m not in incognito.

edit:
@phreaq actually … my understanding was to use that “filter” but … hey… whatever works
So, big game_changer news, (I know that many are still working on ‘i need a header’ so this might not be sooo big), but:
I’ve rewritten the way how this component is retrieving the streaming URL:
Old: Take the videoId and let the pytube component find the URL (which failed very often for me, I’d guess because the YouTube music subscription videoId aren’t available from the web without login - which the pytub lib doesn’t have)
New: take only the descrambler algorithm from the pytube lib and use the extra info that we already have (from the ytmusicapi (ytmusicapi != pytube)). This is a) way faster and should b) way more reliant.
ah … and also the improved parser for the cookie (that is now stored in .storage/ytube_header.json) is also part of this commit.
Let me know if this works any better … JKW

With this latest update, I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong!
( I did not see the updated README )
Instead of saying "Enter cookie text, copied from browser" - I think it might be more clear to say "Enter Requests Headers text, copied from browser"
Tried the new release: It works so far.
I have my media player and I see all playlists.
Thanks for your engagement!
By the way: The media_player doesn’t start.
Do I have to write a script?
Hi Jörg, that’s good news. So the cookie works, otherwise the playlist wouldn’t be filled. All you should have to do is hit “on”. If that doesn’t work I’d assume that there is something wrong with you inputs. Did you copy everything from the readme (or the package) ? Have you checked the log? I think that It should spit out an error if it can’t find the inputs.
Did you add your Mediaplayer as shown in the readme?

Hi,
I think, that I configured everythinf like described:
media_player:
- platform: ytube_music_player
# adapt the file location if needed. this has to match the file path that was
# speicified in the config flow
header_path: "/config/.storage/ytube_header.json"
speakers:
# if your speaker is called media_player.speaker123, add speaker123 here
- office
- unten
- wohnzimmer
- browser_s6_joerg
the media players are alexa echos
ytube_music_player_source:
name: YouToube Source
icon: mdi:music-box-multiple
options: # don't change
- "Playlist Radio"
- "Playlist"
ytube_music_player_speakers:
name: Speakers
icon: mdi:speaker
options: # don't change
- "loading"
ytube_music_player_playlist:
name: Playlist
icon: mdi:playlist-music
options: # don't change
- "loading"
Looks good … I haven’t tested if this type of url works with alexa but I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t. I guess you don’t see entries in the log, do you? Jkw
Edit: ok I’ve just setup my firetv stick via the Android TV integration. This isn’t working. The ytubemedia player calls the media_player.play_media service. Does that work for generic http urls, with your alexa? It does for all my chromecasts and google home but isn’t working with the fire tv.
Hi, I never tested it but as I learned from the alexa media forum, the guys there working with it quite intensive. So it should work. I for myself use alexa for notifications so far.
Have you seen this?
Didn’t you gave other release numbers?
Hi @Pirol62, there are no versions release numbers at this time.
The numbers you are seeing relate to the projects commits on GitHub

Ok, that is super strange … Kaco is another integration that I wrote. I might have copied something from there but can’t find it. Did you clone the correct repository ? …
Has anybody realized, to play the music on an android device?
browser_mod does not work.
So there must be a way to create a media player which points to a local media service
I’m using https://github.com/KoljaWindeler/ytube_music_player.
And I only download zip
As per the instructions , it say create a folder called kaco…
I am doing this wrong ?
Lee
@leeb98 - It’s a typo, I think it should be
- In the
custom_componentsdirectory (folder) create a new folder calledytube_music_player
Is there a shuffle mechanism/setting when playing playlist?
Yes, exactly the same as in the gmusic player from @troy. (Currently not documented) also same defaults and should be configurable in the same way (although I didn’t test)
