Installation and usage

• Clone the repository

• Authenticate
  • OAuth2 is currently broken with ytmusicapi, use browser cookies as follows:
  • create a .env file in your working directory(should be the repository root) with the following contents:

    AUTH_TYPE=browser
    

  • Follow the instructions in the ytmusicapi documentation
  • Getting the cookies from a private browser window results in a longer lasting session cookie
