YTMDesktop (YTMD) has announced v2 (see above) and v2 is in active development. The changes of v2 include a backwards-incompatible companion server. This implies that the current version of the plugin would be incompatible with YTMD v2. This is a feature request for YTMD v2 support.

Current Behavior

Placing the volume actions on Stream Deck. Each work as expected, and control the volume bar within YMDesktop App.
However, while the graphic shows the volume is increasing, decreasing, and mutes? It actually has no effect.
To force this, you have to interact with YMDesktop App directly. Everything else works fine, just this minor issue.

Expected Behavior

Pressing Mute, I expect the function to actually mute the music. ( The graphic on streamdeck shows the volume has been turned down to 0%, but the music hasn't actually been muted. )

Pressing Volume Up, I expect the volume to increase.
Pressing Volume Down, I expect the volume to decrease.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Load the YMDesktop Application
2. Add Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down to Stream Deck
3. Connect
4. Play Music Track
5. Press Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down

Hey,

if I press louder/quieter or mute it shows in YTMD that it is louder but it isn't. Everything works without the louder/quieter and mute function. What can I do to fix? Or is it a global problem?

Current Behavior

Volume up and down in streamdeck cause the volume slider in YTMD to move (sometimes - it does get stuck), but the volume doesn't actually change. Mute in streamdeck also triggers the YTMD UI to do the right thing visually without actually changing the volume of the playback. In all honesty, this is probably a bug in YTMD.

Expected Behavior

When volume slider moves, volume changes.

Steps To Reproduce

Add volume change actions to streamdeck.
Use them.

Question

Hello,

hello is it possible to control the Youtube Music Player with the plugin over multiple PCs ?

So here is the setup I have.

2x PCs + 2 Loupdeck ct+

I would like to control the Youtube player on PC02 with the Loupdeck on PC01. Unfortunately I can't get a connection although I entered port, host and password.

According to the firewall I can also listen to port 9863 from PC01, so nothing is blocked locally by the firewall.

Does anyone know if this works at all or is it due to a configuration.

Many greetings and thanks for the cool app

I think there should be a way to automate testing as well (unit tests). So you could see whether everything that was pushed works or errors have occurred.

Describe the solution you'd like
Test as many methods as possible.

Additional context
However, I have a few problems there ..

I've never really worked with automated testing, but I have no problem learning it. Maybe someone can answer the following questions for me.

• Since almost all methods are "void", one would have to see how they have to be tested and which ones have to be tested at all.
• Which testing framework should I use best for this?
• What about the connection to the YTMD app or the stream deck? Since the testing framework has no access to these, how should this best be implemented?

Maybe an experienced developer can give me some tips on how to do this.

Here's another idea for you from the maker of the success that is the Toggle/play/pause button.
The title says it. Its great to see how much time there's left in the current song, which is great for timing the song change. I personally prefer this as a counting down thing rather than having the length of the song displayed. But if you feel like being fancy you could make it an option or something.

When using the youtube music desktop application the YTMD connector seems a little mismatched when it comes to volume controls.

For instance, the app will show that there is no volume when the mute button is pressed, but my music is still playing with no changes.

if i press mute I should not hear music, press it again to unmute.
if i press volume up the music should get louder.

As title. being able to say "make sure the music is paused/playing" is great when you're for example switching to a scene in OBS which has a video playing or gameplay providing sound. Being able to automate that without it being a toggle would be nice.

Solution 1: Add a Pause button that pauses the music even if its already paused. Add an Unpause button that makes sure the music is playing even if it is already playing.
Solution 2: Add in the button configuration of the Pause/Unpause button an option to select between "Toggle" "Pause" "Unpause"

Current Behavior

It appears the mute, volume up, and volume down controls do not work. Volume up and down will move the volume sliders inside the YTMD app, and mute seems to toggle mute yet the audio does not mute or get adjusted at all. I have confirmed it's not my audio setup as if I use the mouse to drag the volume or click the mute button inside YTMD it works fine. I'm not sure if this is a problem with your Stream Deck app or with the YTMD player. All other buttons are working fine for me.

Expected Behavior

Volume adjustments should not only adjust the UI elements of the YTMD app but also adjust the volume appropriately.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Press any volume adjustment volume on stream deck.
2. Observe no change in audio volume.
3. Click with mouse on YTMD volume controls
4. Observe proper change in audio adjustment.

Add a function option to the Track Info button. In my experience, and using the YTMD app, pressing the info duplicates the player in a browser window starting a second instance. Seems like it would be more functional to have the Track Info button act as play/pause by default. Maybe I'm missing something, but if there were more options for action to select, that's one less button I have to use if I can avoid a separate play/pause button.

Feature

Hi!

First of all, thank you for this plugin :)

I would like for the background of the button to be black when the music is Paused. First of all, the text "Paused" is pale gray, so it would show more on a black background, but a lot of icons have black backgrounds so it would fit better and not stand out as much.

Solution

It could also just stay as the album cover playing now but with the "Paused" text layered over it.
