Youtube Music link support

[champion174]

Please include YouTube music in newpipe, just like you've added SoundCloud, Mediacloud and some others.it'll help a lot I hope your dedication can do this.

Not sure about the difficulty of making YouTube Music into it's own tab, but YouTube Music videos/audios would be a simple implementation I believe.

Take this track: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=9XvXF1LrWgA&list=PLrEnWoR732-DtKgaDdnPkezM_nDidBU9H

If you remove the music and the &list=PLrEnWoR732-DtKgaDdnPkezM_nDidBU9H, you just get the singular track on YouTube, which could then be downloaded.

I've wanted to get more involved with the code aspect of NewPipe, so I would like to attempt to add this as a link handler via the extractor.

[gkeegan]

If you could test the apk in #3074 that would be appreciated. It seems like there was already stuff for YouTube Music in the extractor, so I don't think I'll have much work to do.

Also, playlists generated from YouTube Music are not handled. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4fGSI1pDJn5Je5NXSbA_Y-pSwa16FntZ If you share this to newpipe, it crashes, it should give top 100 tracks in the world.

Youtube Music Links Are supported in 18.6 latest release. Just share your albums from the youtube music app.

It should be reopened, it's not supported by the manifest file, then it opens in browser instead of NewPipe. Once this is achieved, we can say NewPipe supports YouTube music links

@B0pol: I already noticed and re-opened ;)

See #3177

I think Youtube Music should be a separate entry in the service selector. Since the focus is on audio, it should have a Soundclound-like UI, where only background playback is available. Video playback is a waste of data in this case.

I don't think so. There are videos on music, clips. Why would you want to block videos when you have the possibility to play audio only?

[wb9688]

YouTube Music is only another UI for YouTube, and has the same streams and everything, just a different search engine, which we should add to NPE. There is no need for it to be a separate service in NPE.

[opusforlife2]

Hmm. Are these videos separate from the ones accessible from the main Youtube site? If not, then the user could access them from there, no?

[wb9688]

No, it has the same videos you could also access from YouTube's main site.

[opusforlife2]

I suppose if the UI clearly categorises songs separately from videos, anything would be fine.

[opusforlife2]

If you were to tap on the thumbnail of an audio, though, what should happen? Should it play audio only, or the video as well? The video is just the thumbnail in all the frames.

[PeterHindes]

Youtube musics main feature is the search and likes are filtered to only include songs. It also includes automatic playlists for albums of supported artists.

Yes Peter, NewPipe should prioritize Youtube Music results

[PeterHindes]

No it should be an option to use results from each search provider.

Yes Peter, I think that is a better approach

It's now supported.
