import { defineDesktopConfig } from '@owdproject/core'

export default defineDesktopConfig({
  apps: [
    '@owdproject/app-youtube'
  ],
  youtube: {
    galleryRotateIntervalMs: 8000,
    featuredStations: [
      { id: 'jfKfPfyJRdk', title: 'Lofi Girl' },
      { id: 'tNkZs5MStGQ', title: 'Ambient Nature Sounds' },
    ]
  }
})

Each featured station supports an optional thumbnail URL. Video IDs (11 characters) get a YouTube cover automatically. The dashboard shows a 2×2 gallery; every galleryRotateIntervalMs milliseconds one tile cycles to the next featured item. Click a tile to play.
