Any plans to support YouTube Music? #243

Closed SacredSkull closed 6 years ago

SacredSkull commented 6 years ago

There are rumors that YouTube Music will be replacing Google Music at some point. Are there any plans to support this inside this skill? On the gmusicapi repo an issue exists for this, but they feel like it might be a job for a completely new library. Though, given that there are suggestions that they are not meant to exist side-by-side, i.e. YT should replace GMusic, I think that it probably could fall under it's jurisdiction.

On the other hand, the Google Music Desktop Player already has beta support for YT Music (I've been using it for several weeks - it's actually very good with few bugs), so it can be accomplished.

If they rebrand, maybe gmusic would fall under YT, but the functionality would remain eerily similar. I doubt they would entirely deprecate their API, which the unofficial gmusicapi leverages heavily. And as you said this is really very easy on our end as there are classes propped up wrapping the gmusicapi, so if it changes, it would be as simple as creating another class.
