Getting Started

4. Configure the connection settings.
5. Enjoy controlling YouTube Music remotely!

Web Version

The web version can be accessed here after doing some configuration on your browser.

You need to disable a security feature for the site first. YouTube Music's API Server is hosted locally using HTTP and the browser blocks requests to the server for that reason.

Chrome (and other Chromium-based browsers)

1. Go to the web app.
2. Click the lock or settings icon on the left side of the address bar.
3. Click Site settings.
4. Scroll down to Insecure content and select Allow.
5. Reload the page.

Firefox

1. Go to the web app and go to the settings page.
2. Configure your connection settings.
3. Click the lock icon on the left side of the address bar.
4. Click Connection secure.
5. Click Disable protection for now.

For Firefox, you have to disable the protection every time you reopen your browser.

Development

yarn
yarn android # or yarn web

• Note that this will not work on Expo Go, as some libraries used are not supported by it.
• iOS is not yet tested to work due to no access to an Apple device.

Limitations

There are some limitations to the app mostly due to the limitations of the API server:

• Authorization strategy must be set to No authorization in the plugin configuration (for now).
• Queue is for viewing only.
• Some player button states (repeat, like/dislike, etc.) are indeterminate.
