Google Music was replaced by YouTube Music Logging in shows no playlists on Google's side And when trying to sync local to google I get this error:

Starting sync to Google Play Music... Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source

Is it possible you'll update the plugin to support YouTube Music?

Short version: It's unlikely I'll update the plugin to support YoutubeMusic.

Longer version: A little background around this plugin... My main motivation for working on this was for my own personal use since I used Google Music (GPM) on my phone but MusicBee on my desktop. When GPM was announced to be replaced by Youtube Music (YTM), I gave YTM a try and really did not like it. During the time I was trying out YTM, I did actually end up writing an unofficial c# api for YTM (based on an existing python one) and even added code to get this plugin working with YTM. So theoretically, everything is already there to add support, if someone is motivated enough to fork and update/fix/support the API library and this plugin, feel free to. Ultimately however, I decided that I'd rather use Spotify as my music streaming service instead of YTM. If YTM had an official API, I might consider releasing a build with support for YTM to this plugin. But seeing as the YTM API is unofficial, and it's honestly a pain to work with, and I no longer have a personal stake in this feature - it's unlikely I'll update the plugin to support YTM. Sorry to disappoint.
