question/feat-req: youtube music support

[redbrain]

hello gatecrasher,
does YouTube Music also run on innertube?
if so, could ytcog be modified to support ytmusic-specific features (for example, filtering music searches for songs, albums, artists, etc)?

Sorry, I seemed to have missed your post.

As far as I am aware YouTube Music is a player built on top of the innertube, rather than there being any specific functionality inside the innertube api itself. All the calls are from url: https://music.youtube.com/ and seems to focus on music playlists, using the same type of calls as https://www.youtube.com/

It might be helpful to allow a change of domain in ytcog. Perhaps that would apply overall filter that limits results to music. But I would have to experiment.

Thank you for the reply!
My main goal is to be able to filter search results to include only songs and/or albums. I'll experiment with innertube requests to music.youtube.com and report any successes or errors.
If you have spare time, it would be great if you could look into it as well.
