ytm-mpd

Cast from YouTube/Youtube Music app to MPD. Other apps will not work as we're basically using youtube.com/tv for receiving the current songs.
Mostly inspired by upnpTube https://github.com/mas94uk/upnpTube but without dlna support and instead support for a single mpd instance.

Why MPD?

MPD is a greate tool which works on every platform and can output to almost all sound devices. You can output to dlna, fifo or hardware devices.
Implementing all of this would be a harder then to maintain then simply using mpd. On top of that it also automaticly buffers the stream and handels all of the complex logic. Also integration stuff like snapcast is already documented.

Road Map

Local HTTP Cache
Sponsorblock Support
Connect to local Music Database and use those instead of youtube if they exists (e.x Local FLAC library)
