Automatically skip youtube videos when asked to confirm the user is not a bot #1468

Open Auster-1 opened 1 week ago

Auster-1 commented 1 week ago

Use Cases

Some times, youtube says a sign in is required to confirm the user is not a bot, which seems to be even more frequent when, e.g., a VPN is used., and the requirement seems to go away after not pinging youtube for some minutes, like when watching videos from an alternative system. And this confirmation becomes a problem since it completely stops playlists until resolved, and Grayjay has several areas where playlists can be used, such as by generating one from what appears on either Subscriptions or Home tabs, and by the user manually creating them.

Proposal

If the user doesn't want to log in to Google, to have the option somewhere in the Settings tab to set playlists to automatically skip youtube videos when logging in is required.
