YouTube abandoned the subscription grid view. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

[Feature Request] Highlight videos filter #133

Open g-rocket opened 10 years ago

g-rocket commented 10 years ago

Similarly to how I can filter out videos I don't want to watch, it would be nice if I could highlight videos I don't want to miss. It would be a button right next to the filter button that would bring up a dialog similar to the filter dialog, where I could type a search string to match what videos that I wanted highlighted. Then, whatever videos matched that would show up with a green background, or something like that.
The reason I would want this is that there are some video series that I really like and don't want to miss a video of. However, my sub box is big, so it would be nice to be able to highlight videos I want to make sure I watch.
If you add this, it might be nice to also add a setting to show only highlighted videos, similar to how you can show only unwatched etc...

Here are some example images of what this feature could look like:


If I had told it I wanted to highlight the Thief series on davidr64yt's channel and the Deus Ex Human Revolution series (same channel), it could look like this: video highlight The reason that the Deus Ex video is a lighter color is because it is watched


Here is an example of what the dialog might look like for adding a highlight on the Deus Ex series: video highlight dialog The text would probably be changed a bit more than this, and would obviously be in the same font and font size, but you probably get the idea


Here is an example of what the extra tab to click on to highlight a series might look like: video highlight tab The tab for highlight would be the star, and it is supposed to be the same color as the filter and hide tabs. Star was the best I could think of for highlight, but if you have a better idea go ahead and use it.


Please note that these were all done in GIMP, and probably have some minor flaws/inconsistencies. I'm sorry about that, but I'm not very good at making them.
