@JeffD
Thanks for confirming that the GPM login process works with this fix.
Looking back through my notes, I finally remembered I cancelled my Google Play Music subscription last summer because I wasn't using it enough to justify the monthly fee.
For some years now, we've been told again and again that GPM is going to be retired in favor of YouTube Music. Last year, Google was saying "by the end of 2019". Obviously that still hasn't happened but the uncertainty leaves me not wanting to start up my subscription again.
Perhaps some other user who is using moOde's gmusicapi feature can comment on your findings about its current functionality. [added as I type: I see @jonners already has.]
AFAIK, there's no published API for YourTube Music [1], despite repeated pleas on its forum and elsewhere, nor yet any reverse-engineered implementation of it. Unless and until that happens, moOde and other opensource players will be left out in the cold when the switch-over actually occurs.
Regards,
Kent
