Enabling YouTube Music under Linux

Enabling YouTube Music under Linux

This small guide is only intended for Linux DE's / WM's that doesn't support tray-icons (like Gnome 3).

First of all make sure GPMDP isn't running.

In ~/.config/Google Play Music Desktop Player/json_store you will find a file called .settings.json. This file is a basic JSON configuration file you need to change the following properties to enable YouTube Music;

{
    "service : "youtube-music",
    "theme : "true",
    "themeType : "FULL",
}

Now launch GPDMP and you are all setup! :)

Please be aware that enabling this will currently disable the possibility to change settings for GPMDP and that the mini-player functionality doesn't work.
