It's still not perfect yet, I have found some issues with videos that are over an hour or so. Will definitely spend some more time to get it perfect. For now, it's just a quick implementation that allows you to play Youtube videos. It also sends the artwork and song details to e.g. a chromecast.

I am planning to create a simple Youtube app, which enables us playback youtube video.
For now this is an extension to chromecast app https://github.com/matjaz/com.google.chromecast/tree/rewrite

I am planning to create following
triggers
- youtube media changed (have url token)
actions
- search youtube (have query argument); triggers change
- get playlist (first, one random, all, all shuffle); triggers change
- play music on Homey (future... when media manager is documented/working)

Because how flows currently work, we need two flows for that.
1.
- when say something (text ->)
- search youtube (-> text)
2.
- when youtube media changes (url ->)
- cast media to chromecast (-> url)


We could use (global) variables, but that needs variables API as I suggested.
Maybe we could add global app events (with new built in general trigger onAppEvent(app, event))
Or implement more advanced actions as suggested here.

Thoughts & suggestions welcome!

Great work. I just saw this and just love it.
