Support Free YouTube Music Accounts

[theparkdude]

I'd like to request support for free YouTube Music accounts in Music Assistant. I'm currently using "ytube_music_player" which supports free YTM accounts and the integration has been working great but obviously does not integrate with Music Assistant. I do not wish to subscribe to YTM at the moment but sometimes will listen to content on YTM that can't be found on any other service (such as live recordings, etc.) It'd be great to have Music Assistant support Free YTM accounts to consolidate provider sources. Might I suggest a collaboration with ytube_music_player's developer to allow this support. Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

Does that player play YouTube's advertising?

Good question, never gave that much thought! I just tested now and no, it does not play the advertising, also tracks can be skipped with no interruption🤷‍♂️ . When I originally setup this player in Home Assistant I followed the player setup instructions and when it worked I just assumed free accounts were supported (I'm 100% sure I don't have a premium YTM account). I would definitely not mind listening to YouTube's advertising to allow for free account support in Music Assistant though.

MA cannot stream the ads therefore this will not be progressed.

Oh well that's a bummer, I was hoping to consolidate providers. Thanks for the prompt responses.
