Track switch cannot be detected if YTMDesktop runing in background. So the song title/author could not be updated correctly.

I found this feature really useful in web version of YT Music.

I've opened the app image on Fedora 30, the page doesn't load and I'm unable to listen to music, page loads normally on browsers. The configuration screens load correctly.

Issue exists since v1.5.1

While navigating over various playlists/searches, there's a need of going back.
But it's not possible right now.
Generic mac shortcuts or touchpad gestures also does not do that.

I just found the new setting and I don't know how it works... 😂

A mini version of the player (with something like just album art and media controls) that can be kept always on top would be amazing.

Great application!

I adapted the favicon to have antialiasing and a margin so it will look just like other Apps such as Chrome.

You can acquire the new files from my fork:

On my hd screen there's no way to make it show everything(tried to set it manually)

I am saddened that the program is in English only.
I suggest to localize the program.
I am ready to assist in the translation into Russian.
(For example, you can use the service Crowdin or any other. Crowdin is free for Open source projects.)

Version: v1.6.0

It would be nice to have an option to listen to songs without tracking them on your google/yt user, kinda like logging with incognito mode on a browser, for the times you don't want songs suggested to you in the future based on that session.
Possible name suggestions: Guest Mode; Party Mode; Incognito Mode

After 1 hour with the app on the background, i can't open the context menu.

I am running the app on a Mac Book Pro but I cannot use the global Mac shortcuts for play/pause or next / previous song. I have configured the keys so that I have to combine them with FN + F7, F8 or F9. The gobal shortcut CMD + SHIFT + SPACE works. The bad thing is, I don't have page up or page down keys ...

v1.4.1 has a .pkg file, while v1.5 does not.

Hi, is there a work around about this 'You are trying to sign in from a browser or app that doesn't allow us to keep your account secure.' message?, finally find the app I was looking for but I got stuck here

Platform: Windows

Hi, would this software/app steal/misuse our youtube account password/information? in terms of privacy and security, im worried. TQ

is it working?

When you minimize or maximize the youtube music window after playing music for a while (4hr+), the app will stop displaying the front end, it looks like it gets hung up and stays gray, sometimes if you give it 1-2 minutes it will load, other times its permanently gray and the app must be restarted.

I'll attach screenshots the next time this occurs

I installed the app on Windows 10 and it got an error right away:

Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined

Upon pressing "OK" nothing happens, however the process remains open until terminated via taskmgr, which doesn't help. I also tried reinstalling the app - no luck.

Starting the AppImage offers an option to integrate with the system. The integration fails with the following error:

It would be great if there was an option to broadcast the music to a Chromecast on the network :)

Hi!

x64 is mainstream, x32 is not 😄. Can you repackage?

Hello guys!

Can'i hack a control presett for my macbook pro touchbar?
I use the bettertouchtool for the touchbar editing.

Is there any way to integrate the application with discord so that it is shown in the profile

Hey, so during me playing around with the settings. Under the title bar settings, I changed it to "No Title Bar" or something and now there's no way to get it back. I'm wondering if there's a shortcut to the settings page otherwise I'm stuck.

Hi, thank you for this app.

I've a few suggestions:

1. Gestures to use by holding down right mouse button as in below:
   swipe left - go left
   swipe rigt - go right
   swipe down - minimize window
   swipe up - maximize window
   (if gesture thing is somewhat difficult, a right-click context menu with the options above would be great.)

2. Scrolling anywhere on the player-bar at the bottom to change volume
   

3. Being able add CSS to change layout of YT Music(not app).

4. Lyrics window should remember its' position and size. (now it's centered)

Thank you again for this.

Hello, I wanted to have ytb music on desktop. I use Linux (Deepin 15.10.1) and I installed every depedencies. I used 'npm i' (the 'npm install') and used 'npm start' in terminal. The problem is the language. I opened some html files to check (like always) to see how it'll looks like. In the browsers, you can't use the main page due to the react components. But I saw your app works properly and include the Linux OS in the list of support. I think your app, don't support the french laguage. When it open, every components are here: action buttons, title, settings, every components work properly. But I have a big 'fr_ALL' where normally there is the UI. I understood you use a component of react to put a language. Do you have a way to put your own language (add manually a translation) or force make it in english or put automatically if a translation isn't valaible in english?
If you have a way to add a translation manually, I'll give you the french translation from english I did.

In Mac OS you have a small app icon on the top right where are some menu entries like next or previous song, thumbs up/down and settings. When I click on settings, the app comes to the foreground and opens the settings overlay window but shows nothing and I am unable to close this window. I have to quit the app completely to get rid of it.

Would be great to have it remember position on desktop from where it was last closed.

First of all, thank you very much for creating this app!

Is it possible to use native title bar on macOS or at least move buttons to the left side, where they should be placed on macOS?

So this is the setting menu.
No matter which setting I change (page zoom here, for example. Also, the sign-in button can't show up and I need to zoom off the page to show it.) When I drag the slider to 80 and then close the settings window, nothing happens.

it would be nice to choose to disable/re-assign certain hotkey combos. for example when i'm using the app and coding in vscode, the ctrl+shift+p to pause/play the music prevents me from using the vscode command pallet

Availeable ytmdesktop version here : https://ytmdesktop.app/
is outdated, also when trying:
sudo snap install youtube-music-desktop-app_1.4.1_amd64.snap
shows:
error: cannot find signatures with metadata for snap
"youtube-music-desktop-app_1.4.1_amd64.snap"

Trying to use .appimage results in other failure. After runing:
chmod +x YouTube.Music.Desktop.App.1.4.1.AppImage && ./YouTube.Music.Desktop.App.1.4.1.AppImage
gives:
/home/usr/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-youtube-music-desktop-app.desktop: warning: value "YouTube Music Desktop App" for key "Comment" in group "Desktop Entry" looks redundant with value "YouTube Music Desktop App" of key "Name"
/home/usr/.local/share/applications/appimagekit-youtube-music-desktop-app.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): value item "Audio" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" requires another category to be present among the following categories: AudioVideo
/tmp/.mount_YouTubPW7hRe/youtube-music-desktop-app: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So as i read in electron web page and here, the last version is 1.5.0. Could you add the .appimage and the .snap file to github repo¿?

Using the github packege and running npm install && npm start it works within the expected behavior.

Im running a newly installed Ubuntu 18.04.3 with acpi=off as launch param, running over MSI GL62M 7RDX with the standard manufacturing hardware.

Hello, i go to Settings and Lyrics and the window goes blank.

I wanted to use this for discord rich presence but simply I can't since settings doesn't save. Everytime I open settings and enable something and close it and reopen settings they're reseted to default. I tried even running program as administrator.

I'm using Windows 8.1

I'm using win10, and when i put the mouse over my toolbar it shows the preview of the app with the stop/play, next and back, and the like/dislike button that changes color when they are pressed.
Well, when i have liked a song on the web page or through the app, it dont shows correctly in this little buttons for liking, and if its liked and pressed, they dislike the song.

This is an good idea because the stupid YT ads

Setting page doesnt have a english text translation v1.5.1

I get the same error when trying installing AUR package on Archlinux or trying building locally.
Error is about node-gyp

On Windows 10 a few thing that would be good in the notifications:

1. Image of the album of the song playing.
2. Don't play notification sound when it's showed.
3. Make them temporal (let's say 5 seconds) so they don't stay on the notification panel.

I think it would be great if you add this feature in next versions.
WebNowPlaying is used by using a BrowserExtension, and it can be added to the official Spotify Player using Spicetify, so I think it will be usefull if you add it.
Thank you

"Appearence" section should be "Appearance" (typo)

Only because it uses a lot of cpu.

Or not even possible?
