YouTube Music Brand Account Support #106

Closed anispwyn closed 3 months ago

anispwyn commented 7 months ago

is description even needed? uhm

so basically brand token and an actual account token are the same token as you can see below image (there is some different after some part, i dont know if its possible to use that to check if its a brand account or not)

and the services just use the actual account (not brand accounts) for scrobbling so i would like to see this get implemented some days

The image you posted does not show the Cookie header, specified in the docs, which is what is used to identify the account.

You should try logging in as the personal account, or switch to it, and checking if the Cookieand X-Goog-AuthUser headers found there is the same as when you are using the brand account. If they are different you can probably use the normal account cookie to monitor just plays from that account.

If they are not different I'm sure its possible to differentiate which account is used because the youtube music library, youtube-music-ts-api, MS uses is basically just scraping the rendered web page for text and account name should be shown on the webpage (upper right corner when logged in, I think). Implementing that functionality is out of scope for MS, though. You could open a PR on youtube-music-ts-api and implement the functionality yourself. I'd be happy to bump the library version so support that.
