One of my favorite things in my condo is my music collection. It’s made of Physics-al Media objects resized to (1.35, 0.9, 0.1) to mimic a vinyl canvas. You can take one and throw it at the nearby Nightclub Media Player Panel and start groovin’. Took a while to set up, so I have some quality of life suggestions.
(btw physics-al medias render funny from a distance when squished on the z axis but what im about to propose will make this a non-issue.)
I know there’s a style for the Physics-al Media that is a CD, but I’d like to see the two other styles from the Disc Jewelcase object as styles, as well as a Vinyl Canvas style and a Vinyl Canvas alternate style that is just the cover for people who just wanna be lazy and paste the album cover URL.
Second, I’d like it if when fed a https:///music.youtube.com/ URL, it puts the album cover on the canvas and makes the label become “[SONG] - [ARTIST]”. See the collapsible menu for a technical summary on how to get this information.
Technical summary on how to get YouTube Music video data
Send a POST request to https://music.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/next.
In the Header, put…
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: "[insert YouTube Data API v3 key here]"
YouTube api keys are free to make and use if TU isn’t already using one.
In the Body, put…
{
"videoId": "[video id goes here]",
"context": {
"client": {
"clientName": "WEB_REMIX",
"clientVersion": "0.1"
}
}
}
All the information you really need in the JSON response can be found in:
json["contents"]["singleColumnMusicWatchNextResultsRenderer"]["tabbedRenderer"]["watchNextTabbedResultsRenderer"]["tabs"][0]["tabRenderer"]["content"]["musicQueueRenderer"]["content"]["playlistPanelRenderer"]["contents"][0]["playlistPanelVideoRenderer"]
Then from there it’s just:
Song Title: thatCrap["title"]["runs"][0]["text"]
Artist Name: thatCrap["longBylineText"]["runs"][0]["text"]
Thumbnail: thatCrap["thumbnail"]["thumbnails"][5]["url"]
Here’s an example of a thumbnail URL just in case. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/trQZLZIPWC_Fho4L36yIexCEwjrntb5rfOtpPkVfgbFNcTyjjszrUxtCZczuvBGjqQBALTfr5Wog6cMh=w544-h544-l90-rj
Lastly, I’d like to see the record shelf get a function similar to the upcoming Media Organization Shelf.
