Add 'play video' AppleScript command that plays a specific YouTube video by its video ID via playWithRadio, which properly sets up the queue and avoids WebQueueSync conflicts. Adds markUserInteracted() to PlayerService to bypass the first-time interaction gate (mini player popup) when commands come from AppleScript automation. Usage: tell application "Kaset" to play video "dQw4w9WgXcQ" The command creates a Song, marks the session as user-interacted, and delegates to playWithRadio(song:) which handles queue setup, WebView navigation, and radio queue fetching.

Summary
Adds a
play videoAppleScript command that plays a specific YouTube video by its video ID. This enables programmatic playback control from automation tools, scripts, and bots.Usage
Why
Kaset's existing AppleScript dictionary covers transport controls (play/pause/next/prev, volume, shuffle, etc.) and player info queries, but there's no way to start playing a specific song programmatically. The URL scheme (
kaset://play?v=VIDEO_ID) works from GUI contexts but not from LaunchAgents, daemons, or SSH sessions — which is where most automation runs.This command fills that gap by adding a direct AppleScript interface to
PlayerService.play(videoId:).Changes
Kaset.sdef: Addedplay videocommand definition with a text direct parameter for the video IDScriptCommands.swift: AddedPlayVideoCommandclass following the exact same pattern asPlayCommand,SetVolumeCommand, and other existing commandsUse case
I'm building a Telegram bot that controls YouTube Music via Kaset on a Mac Mini server. Transport controls (play/pause/next/prev) work perfectly via AppleScript, but playing a specific song requires this command since the URL scheme doesn't work from background processes (LaunchAgent).
