This will come with the future playlist update, as we need an internal playlist for that. However it might take a while, because it is a major feature and PrestoN want to take his time with it
I just got FreeTube and this is a feature i am also missing. Will this really need an internal playlist? As far as i can see as a user on Youtube, the "Play all" link at a Channel is just a link to a playlist. And FreeTube is already able to play playlists.
At this point i would like to ask if you also have a NewPipe like "Background Playing"-Feature on the road map? This would be great when listening to music from playlists. I found it is possible to choose "use audio formats" for a video, however this setting resets every video.
As far i observe, the playall button is only for signed user. If that's correct the options is to use youtube api, but i don't know if that suitable for this case.
No, we will basically grab the first page of videos and collect all id's and then throw them into a playlist and play that. No need for any API
Possible solution
Adding ?view=57
to the videos tab url brings back this feature
Coincidentally I found another solution on reddit:
Since this one can be done by manually editing the URL, a novice can easily do it and paste it into freetube.
"get the channel id which starts
UC
then replace that with
playlist?list=UU
"
I intentionally picked the ?view=57
version, because some of the other stuff I've tried only shows ~100 videos at a time meaning that playlist shuffle only shuffles there. If another segment is loaded via just loading the next video, only this next segment is visible.
I don't know about the other solutions here, but it'd be good if you all checked if this is a thing with your solution
Some channels I subscribe to upload multiple videos a day. When I play the newest video the next on the queue is usually from a totally different channel. So what I used to do in YouTube was go to their channel and click the Videos section and there's a Play All button. This would play their videos from the latest to the oldest so I don't have to go back after every video and look for the next one to play.
