Your own YouTube Music account in Vivi: search songs, albums, artists and playlists, your liked songs, playlists, saved albums and history, up next and mixes, likes and adding to playlists, with Premium audio when your account has it. Signs in with your browser's cookies (kept in a private file, wiped on Sign out). Optional downloads with tags and cover, also of whole playlists, albums and liked songs as Vivi playlists you can sync, off by default. Unofficial: uses YouTube Music's web API, not a Google-approved app; it may break when Google changes it, and Google may restrict accounts that use it. Needs yt-dlp (the YouTube & yt-dlp plugin provides one), curl and a Vivi with the plugin music dialog: 0.13, or a 0.12.0 build from master of 18 Oct 2026 or later.
"Open in Vivi" shows the plugin in Settings → Extensions → Browse, where you confirm its permissions and install it.
