Hi. I have been digging around and cannot find the YouTube Music plug in. I’ve seen people talking about it online but can’t locate it to install. Is this still developed please?
Can you please advise how I can get this on my device.
Loving the product so far. 10/10
Thanks

Yeah I read through those and none say YouTube. Is it part of the premium version?
Is there a way to install it using SSH? Maybe that will work better
@ActionParsnip
no they removed it from the normal list of plugins,
because it runs but you have to do a lot yourself …
and you can install it with with ssh no problem …
if you run in problems i will try to help you…
no it’s not a part of premium
Is there a guide online please?
guide is not really compleet any more i guess you didn’t have it before …
but here is a start… only i used a older plugin and they using the 1.0.1

Thank you for this. Really appreciate it
if you done that and you got from Google… API key/ClientID/SecretID and installed the plugin
and it still doesn’t run … you know how to find me 
i got it working again but on the 32bit version queue requests are very slow
( 1 in the 4/5 sec takes ages to get it filled up )
gonna go back to the 64bit version the queue is mutch faster in this system…
went back to a backup of 3.10 of @ashthespy now i have 234 songs in 45
seconds…
The link seems broken now. Is there a plan to put Youtube Music in place as a supported plugin?
I’m a newbie, where I can get Youtube Music tutorial or guideline?
what do you want to know…? the youtube plugin is replaced by the youtube2 plugin.
YouTube2 plugin for Volumio
Volumio plugin for browsing YouTube videos and playing audio streams.
It has been tested on Volumio 2.834.
Getting Started
To install the plugin, first make sure you have enabled SSH access on your
Volumio device. Then, in a terminal:
$ ssh volumio@<your_Volumio_address>
mkdir youtube2-plugin
cd youtube2-plugin
git clone https://github.com/patrickkfkan/volumio-youtube2.git
cd volumio-youtube2
volumio plugin install
...
Progress: 100
Status :Youtube2 Successfully Installed, Do you want to enable the plugin now?
...
// If the process appears to hang at this point,
just press Ctrl-C to return to the terminal.
Now access Volumio in a web browser. Go to Plugins -> Installed plugins and enable
the YouTube2 plugin by activating the switch next to it.That plugin doesn’t support YouTube music though. I don’t think such a plugin is possible for some reason. I guess google wants us to go and buy their speakers instead of streaming from Volumio.

Sorry. I should have included that.
This is on Raspberry Pi3 Model B+
Volumio System Version: 2.917
Also, I tried to install this plugin under /myvolumio/plugins/music_service/ directory (as root). Would that be an issue?

strange you didn’t need any root to install plugin’s maybe that’s the problem.
ssh in to the device with name:volumio password: volumio
and you only had to follow the steps from this post.
and if it hangs on finalizing / 100% just wait a bit and with ctrl-c you can break it
go to you plugin’s in volumio and enable the plugin… in the search bar you can search on youtube.
I will re-try to install it under /home/volumio without being root.
I did the root because /myvolumio/plugins/music_service/ directories were root.
I will let you know.
Thanks
root is already in many versions gone. with sudo you could elevate it when needed.
