Displaying full playlist #406

Open BruhMomient opened 2 years ago

BruhMomient commented 2 years ago

How do you do, sorry for making this my personal tech support, but how does one display a full playlist instead of just the first 20 results? It seems that even if i put it on shuffle, no repeat, it'll shuffle the first 20 tracks, then shuffle the next 20 tracks, and so on, when i want it to shuffle the whole playlist.

Due to the YouTube API limitation, it's currently not possible to list more than 50 entries.

To increase the number of results to 50, use either the -m option, or --results=20 option:

$ youtube-viewer --results=50

Alternatively, take a look at the --save-playlist=ID option (or :s=i input option in playlists context), which will save a playlist of video IDs locally in the following directory: ~/.config/youtube-viewer/playlists.

The list of saved local playlists can be listed with youtube-viewer -lp

Thanks for the quick response, just recently installed this program and I always get a bit overwhelmed trying to learn CLI commands, even if they're quite simple (as they are here!) Thought that would be the issue, I know newpipe has a similar problem, you have to manually load the whole playlist before playing it will work
