Service to play music videos without hassle

by NANOTECH97

Hello everyone, I just got a chromecast for my mom and I want to set it up so it is as easy as possible to use.

What I want to do right now is provide her with a service, MTV-style, where music videos play one after another. I know youtube playlists would be an option but those are static, and even the youtube music Top 40 lists aren't also great because they always start at the same song. Do you have any suggestions for a method to get curated music videos without having to set up personal playlists?

TLDR; I am looking for an Music Channel style service to use on Android TV

The Pluto TV app has music video channels.

What you're looking for used to exist. Vevo used to have it's own app for both your phone & the TV. It was pretty solid and did exactly what it should, just play music videos from artists that you told it you liked.

Unfortunately like many other apps or businesses before it Google bought out Vevo, got rid of the separate apps, then very sloppily incorporated Vevo's video catalog into YouTube and left it a fractured mess. Thanks for wrecking something that already worked Google!

Now instead of having a whole platform completely dedicated to just music videos you have to sift through YouTube and find random videos yourself. Following record labels you like can help a lot. You'll constantly run into just a picture of the album art with the audio only when you search an artist though. It's extremely annoying.

Like you mentioned before, sadly the best 2 methods right now for a continuous stream of music videos is either curating a playlist yourself like I do or finding someone else's that has similar taste to yours. There's some popular accounts out there that regularly update theirs.

Honestly no matter how you do it through YouTube the results still kinda suck. It doesn't really transition cleanly between the videos in the playlists and the even bigger problem the volume is different on like every single song because YouTube doesn't have a normalize volume option in settings like Spotify does.
