But yeah we should document them

4 days ago Your via command suggestions are impossible and nonsensical.
First of, it is a url protocol, not a cli tool.
You can't pass parameters using --time=10 or --time 10.
Even if we wanted to do that, we can't... It has to be part of the url.
(unless a separate terminal interface is made independent of the uri protocol)
Secondly, these controls are made to be used as shortcuts by other programs, their intended usage was not to replace the need for a terminal interface (e.g. cli)

4 days ago The way the url protocol is implemented, to pass a parameter you have to just separate it using a url encoded space.
e.g.
youtubemusic://goForward%2015
Will go forward 15 seconds.

%20 is a url encoded space (`) So in reality it isyoutubemusic://goForward 15` but url encoded.

4 days ago Understood on the cli part. I was trying to find --any-- way to make it work. really.
But if you say that they do function as expected, I would like to know more, because i have not been able to make it work, hence the request for doc.
How should i make the call for for the go forward or backward by X seconds, as the code implies is possible, and can the search call be actually used for any search, and how so ( including playing a found search result, ideally ) ?
Because as of now, i still dont understand how to do any of those things, and I have not found any explanation on how to proceed

4 days ago Personally I believe having the params be in a url query would make more sense.
But that is sadly not the way it was implemented.

4 days ago Ah yes, our messages were at roughly the same time, apologies.
It seems that the
youtubemusic://goBack%2015
(and to note, start youtubemusic://goBack%2015 via command line --does-- work too )
Does work, but not the goForward :
youtubemusic://goBack%2015
I DO see the play/pause button in the player briefly flash, so it seems like it may have been interacted with, but no time change has been made.
Do you happen to know if it would be possible to search & play songs ? Or is that beyond the scope of this ?

4 days ago As I said, this is just for shortcuts to be used in other apps.
The search shortcut interacts with the search bar, it doesn't actually do a search.
There is no way to achieve what you want :( Although this could be done in the future

Reproduction steps
Note : this is one example of the issues, there are multiple issues that are reproducible the same way
Reach the url : youtubemusic://goBack
click on the 'open link' prompt
or run the command in a command line : start youtubemusic://goBack
Expected Behavior
(url) youtubemusic://goBack?value=10 -> would expect it to go back 10 seconds
youtubemusic://goForward?value=10 -> would expect it to go ahead 10 seconds
youtubemusic://search?value=someSearch -> would expect it search for the song 'someSearch'
youtubemusic://requestQueueInformation-> Should return a json formatted information of the queue
(command) start youtubemusic://goBack --value=10 -> would expect it to go back 10 seconds
start youtubemusic://goForward --value=10 -> would expect it to go ahead10 seconds
start youtubemusic://search --value=someSearch -> would expect it to search for the song 'someSearch'
start youtubemusic://requestQueueInformation-> Should return a json formated information of the queue
Actual Behavior
First , these different functionalities should probably be documented
The commands from the song-controls ( src/providers/song-controls.ts ) do not all work as expected and there is seemingly no proper documentation as to how they are to be used.
I've found 2 ways to call those :
Via URL :
youtubemusic://playPause -> correctly toggles play or pause state
youtubemusic://goBack -> Makes the song reset to time = 0, where you would expect it to do nothing because no goback amount has been given
youtubemusic://goForward -> Does not seem to work in any way in tried it. I do not know the proper format of parameters it should be called with, since it does not seem to be documented
youtubemusic://setVolume ->Does not seem to work in any way in tried it. I do not know the proper format of parameters it should be called with, since it does not seem to be documented
youtubemusic://search -> The search has no input param from my understanding of the code, which functionally does nothing
youtubemusic://requestQueueInformation-> There is no documented way to retrieve the information that would be expected to be returned here
Via command :
Practically the same comments as above, lacking documentation for their usage or seemingly non functional
start youtubemusic://goBack --10 -> would expect it to go back 10 seconds, just resets to begin
start youtubemusic://goForward --10 -> would expect it to go ahead10 seconds, but does nothing
start youtubemusic://requestQueueInformation-> There is no documented way to retrieve the information that would be expected to be returned here
Enabled plugins
Additional Information
I've been exploring some form of implementation that could be done quickly. I have seen the rest API PR, but i wanted a very simple and basic control, and this seemed to be roughly what i need but, it lacks documentation and seemingly does not work in a general fashion.
