It has 1.4k installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated August 16, 2026. YouTube Music Player is a Marketplace integration that plays YouTube Music through a Home Assistant media player. It connects to Google's cloud and uses a Google client ID and secret, with an optional brand account ID and a header file. Besides the media player, it adds select and sensor entities, including an optional sensor with extra information and dropdowns the user chooses to create. Actions cover searching, rating a track, adding or removing songs in a playlist, limiting the song count, and starting a radio. Settings include shuffle on startup, play mode, a bit rate limit, sorting of media browser results, and a proxy mode with local path and base URL. It is set up in the interface.
