Client-based OAuth token default lifetime = 1hr?

[davedavisisrad]

Hey friends, just want to check to see if it's everyone's experience that the new "Google API flow for TV devices" OAuth method yields a token that's set to expire in 1hr (3599sec) by default? It all works as expected, just means I have to rerun the new ytmusicapi oath flow often to re-authorize & pull a fresh token. That just how it goes?

Please read the docs carefully. If you do it correctly it will auto refresh

Ah dang. I could've sworn I RTFM before posting. Thanks & apologies; will update my code.

Edit: For anyone else, my issue was that I was using a custom-named JSON file with the token info, and the refresh part wasn't having that (I use multiple accounts so in the past it was helpful to have distinct JSONs for each account).
