When we open youtube.com with a browser, we can toggle the "autoplay"
button, if it is enabled - related videos play automatically. And if
it's a music video that you are watching, probably some of the songs by
the same artist will be played next, followed with other related songs
of related artists.

Now if we want to listen to youtube on LMS, we can either open an
already created playlist or play a single song, or open the search
results of a single song or artist as a playlist. But there is no option
for songs to "autoplay" without a preordered playlist and letting
youtube decide what song comes up next, I think.

So a workaround that I was thinking about would be to open youtube.com
on an android device's browser and let it autoplay from whatever song
that was last searched for. But I didn't find a way to forward the video
ID from the youtube.com webpage to LMS by generating links like in
rwanou's example. I know that this could need more work than it's worth
it, but got curious anyway if that could be achieved.

My main usecase for this would be at the gatherings of my friends. Since
my music library is not much suitable for parties and I'm too lazy to
create party playlists, so before I changed from a usb DAC to a DLNA
one, I would just use the laptop for youtube, so anyone could search for
their favourite songs, and music that is related to the last search
would just keep on playing. But now with the DLNA device, there is no
need for me to boot up the computer when I want to listen to music, or
to keep the computer in the room where I listen to the music. But for
the youtube usage that I described I still haven't found a way, other
than bringing back the computer and the USB DAC.

I know I could easily use spotify for that, but probably that would
require subscription and I don't want to spend money on stuff I would
use only occasionally.
