Support for YouSee (Danish Music streaming service)

[helgedk]

I would like to request support for the Danish music streaming service YouSee Musik.
​It is one of the largest music providers in Denmark (part of the Nuuday group) and is often included in home internet/TV bundles. It is currently integrated into systems like Sonos, which shows that integration is possible.
​Since this is a local provider, I am happy to help with testing or provide any information needed to understand the service's structure.
​Link to service: https://yousee.dk/musik

I have mapped the API flow for YouSee Musik. It uses a GraphQL backend at https://graphql-1458.api.247e.com/graphql. I've attached a JSON sample of the playlist response showing the track IDs and playback context. I have also verified that the stream URLs are HLS-based (m3u8) with AES-128 encryption, delivered via signed AWS CloudFront URLs.

Additional technical notes:

Token Expiry: The Authorization token expires after 12 hours (ExpiresOn timestamp in the header), so a refresh mechanism will be required.

Backend Provider: The service is hosted by 24-7 Entertainment.

Stream Request: When a track is played, a GraphQL request is sent with the trackId and playbackContext, which returns the signed CloudFront HLS URL.

Metadata: The API returns detailed metadata including duration, album.id, and artist.id, making it easy to map to the Music Assistant library.

I have attached a .json sample of a playlist.

      }
    }
  }
}

I just had a look at this but it seems I can't create an account if I am not Danish so will have to wait for a Danish dev to come along

You are right, OzGav. YouSee Musik is a Danish service that requires a local subscription (often bundled with mobile or internet plans), so it's restricted to the Danish market.
​I completely understand the need for a developer with local access. In the meantime, I have mapped out most of the GraphQL API and the HLS streaming structure. I am more than happy to assist with further testing, providing more logs, or capturing specific network traffic if a developer wants to take a look at it without having a personal account.
​Hopefully, a Danish developer in the community sees this – we are quite a few people ready to help test it!"

I would love to take a look at that @OzGav wher I find the docs on the dev requirements?

[OzGav]

We don’t have a huge amount yet, check here https://developers.music-assistant.io/ then there are examples here https://github.com/music-assistant/server/tree/dev/music_assistant/providers

Look at other existing providers and ask in the #dev-support channel on our discord server for help.

@bdollerup did you look into this yet? I hadn't noticed your response, and I've started looking into this also. So far I haven't gotten very far, but authentication and simple fetching of liked tracks is functional. It seems the API is pretty straightforward, so I'm planning to look into the actual streaming part as the next step, before I implement each of the basic features.

@math625f I've only just started looking at it. It seems that you've gotten further than I have. Let's keep each updated. And let me know if there anything I can do to support your efforts.

I've just added a PR that contributes an initial implementation of this provider: music-assistant/server#3043
