New Features on PocketTube for YouTube Playlists🎉

Unfortunately, it's expected behavior after the latest YouTube changes. We can't identify channels for collaborators(2 or more channels), which is the reason why we hide the videos if any filter is activated. If YouTube provides a way to get channels for collaborators, we'll change it in the future version. As a workaround, you can use feed mode https://youtu.be/r4iX53Qg2sE?si=BJExtq8uSIVY_zwh&t=232 which filters videos and shows videos only from the initial uploaded channels

Hi, there seems to be a bug on the subscription filtering site now. Any videos that are uploaded to 2 or more channels are not filtered out, e.g. when I want "Upcoming", "Live" or "Watched".

Yes, you can filter by video type here https://share.cleanshot.com/Ls2Ch4kQ

Is it possible to hide youtube shorts from the deck view? Thank you!

Jennifer Henson

It'll also be confusing, even more than the current implementation. As workaround, you can use the page https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions/shorts with all shorts or you can use our feed mode https://youtu.be/r4iX53Qg2sE?si=ugu0C7nyV23m42qE&t=232 it's supported filters for shorts too.

PocketTube

Ah, I see. Is there any chance of having a way down the line to display shorts unfiltered and having filters just apply to the normal videos? It's easy enough to get to them now that I know what's happening, but I figured I may as well ask.

Idran

Hi, there is no way to filter shorts there, because of restrictions on the YouTube side, so when you select any groups the shorts are hidden automatically, it's expected behavior.

PocketTube

Just found a bug: if any group filters at all are selected on the subscription page (either check or minus), then the Shorts section won't show up regardless of the setting of the "shorts" toggle. The section will only display if the toggle's on and all filters are clear.

I understand. Thanks for you reply! I am just using the Kiwi Browser just to use this extension but the browser is kinda Buggy and it crashes sometimes. Firefox in the other hand is more stable. That's why I made this suggestion.

Hey, thank you for sharing! At the moment both extensions are not available for Firefox Mobile, and even you're the first to mention the platform:) So we do have not enough user demand to work on it, but we'll see how the platform will grow as I know Firefox launched an extension on Android only the previous year.

PocketTube

Hey! Will this extension be available for Firefox Mobile?

Κώστας Κοζαδίνος

It's available https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pockettube-youtube-playlist/

I don't know, the extension doesn't have the type of messages. It looks like an issue on the YouTube side, than PocketTube.

PocketTube

I just installed the extension and I can't see any youtube videos on my account and I get the message "Video unavailable This content isn't available, try again later." I had to create another account and disable the extension to fix the problem what's going on?

I'm sorry to hear that. No, the playlist is saved on the YouTube side, we don't collect your videos. It's no way to implement an undo button, we are restricted by YouTube here. It's weird behavior, I have no idea what the reason can be, maybe you're using other extensions and have a conflict

PocketTube

Just spent 40 minutes sorting multiple playlists and it only added 1 video from each list of 40 plus videos. Lost almost 100 videos. There needs to be an undo button or maybe all the extra stuff being added is causing problems. Is there anyway I can get my playlists back?

Thank you for sharing!

PocketTube

Disregard, seems to be working now... Feature suggestion: in the "Save Video As..." playlist window, it would be great to be able to filter and see which playlists are selected and which aren't for those of us with too many playlists.

Steve Knezevich

Currently not seeing any of my Playlists under PocketTube > Playlists. Any thoughts? I have both extensions installed.

Steve Knezevich

Thank you for your patience as I tried to explain my idea! Appreciate your work!

Brandon Duckett

I've added to the list of ideas. Thank you for sharing!

PocketTube

Previously I've had to recreate playlists adding video after video myself. The auto create playlist option would be so nice.

Brandon Duckett

I'd be fine with that. Or even just a button that just takes a channel playlist and turns it into a private playlist that you can sort any way you want.

Brandon Duckett

Yes, sort by duration is working on channel playlists too, however, it doesn't change the initial playlist, it creates a new one and automatically starts to play it.

PocketTube

Channel playlists, using your extension to make a playlist sorted by date. It has a sort by duration currently correct? Was just curious if that was something easy to integrate or if it'd be too big a pain.

Brandon Duckett

Thank you for sharing! Do you mean your playlists or channel playlists? In the first case, you can use native sort by Date Published provided by YouTube.

PocketTube

Curious if a future update could allow playlist sorting by video upload date? So many playlists I follow have sequential videos that are all out of order, and I'd love a tool that corrects that for me, because I've just gotten in the habit of making my own corrected playlists to use for those ones.

Brandon Duckett

I am such a goof, I thought it was all one extension! Thank you!!!

Brandon Duckett

Did you install the extension for Playlists? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pockettube-youtube-playli/bplnofkhjdphoihfkfcddikgmecfehdd Maybe you have only an extension for subscriptions installed

PocketTube

Currently not seeing the "PocketTube" option on the sidebar to take me to playlist manager, am I missing something?
