  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.
