feat: Stop YT music auto-replacing songs by allowing default mode to be set to "Video" instead of "Song" #2582

Closed distbit0 closed 3 months ago

Feature description

It should be possible in Youtube Music revanced settings to specify whether the default playback mode is "Song" or "Video", as currently it defaults to song mode regardless of what options in settings I configure.

Motivation

Currently Youtube Music is automatically replacing custom versions of songs in playlists with the origina/official version of the song, which is very annoying as often the original version is very different to the version I intended to add. For example nightcore, sped up, reverb, base boost, cut etc.

I have however discovered that youtube music does not play the "official" version of a song if you listen to it in video mode, rather than song mode. As a result, I would very much appreciate the ability to listen to all songs in video mode as a way to avoid youtube music replacing songs for me.

If you'd like to test that what I am claiming is true, try adding the following song to a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3ujn71Tjcc You will notice that it is auto-replaced with the original full version of free bird if you play it in song mode, however the correct version is played when you select video mode.

Many thanks!

Use YouTube for video playback?

distbit0 commented 8 months ago

I prefer the youtube music interface and layout for listening to music + its recommendation mechanism.
