Thank you so much for the work done!
OK, I have updated the plugin that should now work on both Volumio 2 and 3. Please update it through the instructions on the Github page and report any issues. If you were using Google API as the data retrieval method, then you would have to re-grant access (this should not be necessary for future updates).

Volumio Version 2.882
After updating the youtube2 version strangely only the 1st song in the playlist was playing.
Uninstall & re-install still didnāt work for me.
Hence wanted to clear all youtube2 files & do fresh install since uninstall doesnāt remove all of them. Tried removing /volumio-youtube2 directory but was showing files as write protected. Used the following command to delete the folder & contents.
rm -r -f *
Fresh installed again. Works fine after going through the installation process. Occasionally while playing it does get stuck playing the playlist. Have to press the > button to skip for next song.
Thanks Patrick for the awesome work on this Youtube2 plugin! Much better than the first plugin.
@penjoseph , when you say playback getting stuck in the playlist, does this always occur for a particular track or is it just random? Do you get any error messages in the logs? If this is a public playlist, could you give me the link to it so I can test too?

Need to observe whether its at the same song its getting stuck. Give me few days time to check.
Sure, take your time. Iām just thinking if itās a particular type of track thatās causing the hiccup, I can see what can be done about it.
Hi, Iāve updated according to the instructions on GitHub (see below). But however, it still does not play music. I.e. if I click on a track the message āPlay. Started playback ā¦ā appears, but it does not play and also the > button does not toggle. Also after a reboot itās still the same. I use scraping as method.
I would be pleased to get a hint. Thx and best regards Axel

Thx dvo! I have indeed forgotten this command. Now it works 
i was happy that you post your steps otherwise i could not see thisā¦
and happy that it works
My initial finding is some songs occasionally cause the plugin to stop playing. I canāt pinpoint the error because when you click on the song it plays fine. Moreover when you go behind few songs where it hung & play through the playlist it plays fine.
Error screenshot of a troublesome song. I could replicate only after playing multiple times.

Let me know if you want the playlist to be shared. Still havenāt noted all the problematic tracks.
did you run the update ?
what version are you running of volumio and the youtube plugin?
Volumio v2.882
YouTube2 plugin v0.1.1a-20210627
Plugin fresh installed yesterday as mentioned earlier. Update or reinstall was not working for me with player getting stuck at the 1st song in playlist.
@penjoseph , it looks like the error is thrown by MPD. I suspect this may be due to a network issue (such as MPD failing to fetch the stream), but would have to look at the actual logs to confirm. Could you enable Live Logs by going to [your Volumio address]/dev , then when you come across the error, copy the log output and PM it to me as a text file?
Is there any way to configure this plugin to access items from YouTube music like artists and albums to get a more Spotify like experience?
here is your anwser ā¦
Ok, thanks!
Google are acting very strange with their music services imo. Itās like they donāt want to make a real competitor to the other services for some reason.
