Google assistant YouTube not opening

Ray

so I can’t get YouTube to display. For example, when I say YouTube Michael Jackson thriller it will respond. Here’s a video, but it doesn’t do anything.

I did everything on Wiki and I even got the API and it’s in the token folder.
I also have the following things turned on in the config file.

useEXT: true
useYoutube: true
useVLC: true
useCast: true

I also ran npm run cvlc
I also went into the vlc preferred settings then change the output to OpenGL video output, which I found on your website Here.

so what am I missing here. Why isn’t it displaying, everything working normally YouTube just doesn’t display

Try enabling youtube API in google cloud platform

Ray

I thought I did that but I’ll look again

DJB1966

You would of done the Google assistant API not the youtube API
Do you know were to find youtube API

Ray

Yep, it’s exactly what you got. It’s enabled

Ray

I did exactly what was on the Wiki

Ray

YouTube Data API v3
Google

The YouTube Data API v3 is an API that provides access to YouTube data, such as videos, playlists,…

API Enabled

Which part are you talking about all of it even Spotify which I’m not interested in

DJB1966

http://wiki.bugsounet.fr/en/MMM-GoogleAssistant/ConfigurationStructure

Ray

That’s exactly what I went by

DJB1966

useResponseOutput: true,

responseConfig: {
   useFullscreen: true,
   useResponseOutput: true,
   responseOutputCSS: "response_output.css",

DJB1966

that’s one mistake

Ray

Okay I got that I change my user full screen to true

Ray

So is link in Internet do they have to be added

Ray

As well as screen

Ray

So I changed everything to your specification links works now. I didn’t think that had to be in their.
But YouTube still isn’t working.
