YouTube Music please
« on: July 23, 2021, 03:00:21 am »
I can load YouTube under Streaming/YouTube and log in (Premium), but can't play YouTube Music, instead I get blank screen with "browser not supported" message.

Should be doable, yes?

cheers

I'm honestly surprised you were able to log in, typically Google has blocked embedded web browsers from logging into YouTube in general. Maybe they haven't gotten around to blocking YouTube Music yet? Nonetheless I don't think this will work under macOS or Linux unfortunately, only on Windows with Microsoft Edge (via WebView2) and the WDM driver. If it did work through the embedded web browser it unfortunately won't play through Media Center's audio engine for Mac/Linux because neither platform has an equivalent to the WDM driver.

I noticed that too. I think it's because Google can't figure out the Mac browser is being embedded in MC. Still there is no way to get past login so it's not useful at any rate.

I don't do much with YouTube Music, but I just logged in and played music via the Stack browser on my Mac.  I don't know must about embedded browsers, but I thought that's what they were essentially doing and I sign into multiple Google services through that (chat, fi, messages, etc).  I've had issues with versions before where the Google login "broke" and they then released an update that fixed it: https://stackbrowser.com/
