YouTube Music
What
Shows the currently playing song in the YouTube Music Desktop App.
Setup
You need to enable the Companion API in the YouTube Music Desktop App settings.
To do this, open the app, go to Settings > Integration and enable the following:
- Companion server
- Enable companion authentication
From the CLI, run the following command to set the authentication token:
oh-my-posh auth ytmda
If done correctly, you should now be able to add the ytm segment to your prompt.
rate limiting
The YouTube Music Desktop App has a pretty strict rate limit. Therefore it is recommended
to set the cache property in your configuration. If you don't, the segment will not be able
to display correctly.
Sample Configuration
- json
- yaml
- toml
