Wrong (or no) lyrics using system now playing app with YouTube #554

I am fully aware that this is experimental feature. I am also aware that handling of YT videos is not the same as system app handles players.

In case of YouTube videos system app will use complete video title as upper line and channel name as bottom line, which will mostly result in wrong results or in many cases nothing will be shown.

Here are some examples where even exact match can be found manually, it can't be found automatically:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWigDQ6EXt8

title used for search: VISIONS OF ATLANTIS - Lost
artists used for search: Napalm Records

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7LgJrSU460

title used for search: U.D.O. - DANCING WITH AN ANGEL (2002)
artists used for search: UDOtubetv

I made some tests with manual search and in many cases providing only the title will result in a proper match, so I guess easiest will be to add a checkbox that will suppress using of artists name for cases like this one.
