Integration with YT Music

[PawelStefaniakViseca]

Is the integration with YouTube Music possible/planed ?

Not planned, and the blocker is not effort.

YouTube serves no stable audio URLs. A resolved link expires and is tied to the address that resolved it, so STR cannot hand one to the speaker and walk away. Doing it anyway needs a small always-on resolver in your own network that keeps re-resolving and restreaming, and the yt-dlp layer underneath it breaks every time YouTube changes its bot checks.

So the shape that could work is a bring-your-own stream server that STR then plays like any other station, rather than YouTube support inside STR. It sits on the backlog as that, in #390.

What works today without any of it: Bluetooth from the YouTube Music app to the speaker.
