youtube-music-desktop's Issues

Unable to copy/paste into authentication pages

I use a password manager with complex passwords, but found that I could not copy/paste the password or 2 factor authentication code into the login pages.

Minimize to task bar and allow to controll music from it

Especially Next/Prev song or Pause/Play should be accessible from context menu of task bar icon.

LastFM change scrobble percentage

So I recently started using this instead of GPMDP and I'm really liking it. However, one problem with the Last.fm integration is that is seems like the app scrobbles the song when you start it instead of when you finish the song. It would be nice if you could choose what percentage of the song has to be complete before it will scrobble it.

Support for last.fm

Hi, first of all thank you for your work.
I'm the Reddit guy who asked about Last.fm, I'd like this functionality to be added.
Sorry for my english, I'm using Google Translate.
Thank you!

Cannot compile

Hi,
my versions
Archlinux OS
yarn -v 1.16.0
node -v v11.13.0
electron -v v3.1.6
after yarn run dist I get error
"yarn run v1.16.0
$ build
/bin/sh: build: command not found
error Command failed with exit code 127.

Has you an ideer what I need to install to have the build command?

What's up with this using my GPU when idling?

This program always uses around 25% of my GPU, even when not playing music or doing anything. Kinda sketchy if you excuse me saying that.

Cast or Airplay

Hi Will you by any chance try to incorporate cast to google chrome device or apple airplay?

Thanks for your yard work

Hotkeys are not working

Hello there,
First of all, i'm grateful for your work, having an app is much more comfortable than having extra browser window.
However, the app doesn't respond to my hotkeys (play/pause, next track, etc). I'm running ubuntu 18.04 Mate.

Thank you in advance,
psychochemist

High cpu usage, sometimes GPU usage.

I am getting relatively very high cpu usage (10-20%) even when the program is idle and not playing music. Furthermore it's sometimes using my dedicated GPU for 5-10% which it shouldn't do in any case I believe.

I have an i5 6600k and a rx vega 56.

Can not sign it, This browser or app may not be secure

This is a fresh Debian testing installation.

Ability to turn off video?

Only because it uses a lot of cpu.

Or not even possible?

Title Bar

The font and color of the title bar do not flow well with the rest of Win10, especially in dark mode. Please dim the bright red.

Toggle MusixMatch Button

Since the MusixMatch is reportedly useless as of right now (I don't use it, but other people seem to think so). Is it possible to make the button removable from the status bar so that it's not just sticking out like a sore thumb?

Resume from last played song

This is something I very much love in spotify app. Something like storing the last played song(and maybe the whole queue) when the application closed and restoring the application with that state. Not sure if it's possible though without an offical api and all but maybe a workaround could be found. What are your thoughts?

No lyrics found for any song

Clicking on the Musixmatch icon just shows a "Sorry, we couldn't find any lyrics for you." message.

Hotkey feature

I'd like to see a similar feature like in GPMDP where you can assign key combos to different actions.

Thanks for your effort on this. I've been trying to use YTM and GPM simoultaneous everywhere, and this together with Google Play Music Desktop Player makes it really easy.
