Problems with multiPlaylists channel?

[perrycbrown]

multiPlaylists channel in /out/youtube/js/init.js is still not working for me. Here is snippet (actual ids replaced):

    channels: [
        {
            type: "playlist",
            id: "XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
            title: "Daily Broadcast Audio"
        },
        {
            type: "playlist",
            id: "XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
            title: "Recent Video Sermons"
        },
        {
            type: "multiPlaylists",
            ids: ["XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
                  "XXXXXXXXXXXXX",
                  "XXXXXXXXXXXXX"],
            title: "Video Series Archive"
        },
    ],

And all I'm seeing is the attached, only Daily Broadcast Audio and Recent Video Sermons in drop down nav menu.

I've also tried using ONLY the multiPlaylists channel (deleted the other channels there) and that also does not work.

Suggestions?

Hi Perry,

It should be an easy fix to get this working. Please do the following in your pre-built project folder:

1. Update the model-youtube-api.js: Add the following to the loadPremadeChannels method as an additional if/else block :

 else if (this.premadeChannels[i].type === "multiPlaylists") {
                    this.channelData.push({
                        type: "multiPlaylists",
                        ids: this.premadeChannels[i].ids
                    });
                    this.categoryData.push(this.premadeChannels[i].title);
                }

2.Update your project's build.json file to include the subcat-view in the appJS section:

"../../common/js/subcat-view.js",

3. Rebuild your app and you should be good to go.

Wonderful! Thanks!

Would love to keep the drop-down category menu in upper left on the series playlist screen, like the attached. That possible?

Hi Perry,

Currently, there is no setting for this. It would require functionality changes in the app.

Understood :-) Thanks again!

Why has this issue been closed? The documentation advertises a feature that does not work unless you hack the model. Should this not either get fixed, or the documentation be updates?
