5 New Features on PocketTube for Playlists🔥

Comments

Thank you for sharing, it's not easy to implement, because subscription groups are not linked to playlists. I'll add the suggestion to the list of ideas.

PocketTube

I add videos I probably want to watch to Watch Later (and "more important" videos to another custom playlist) and only remove them when I watched them or am no longer interested - for me that works better than relying on youtube considering a video watched or not. That's why I can't just use subscription groups for that and am using playlists. Just to explain the issue better, maybe you even got an idea how I could solve it in another way 🙂

Hi, it's me again 😁 besides custom duration filtering in playlists it would also be great to have a subscription group filter. The AI topic filter is nice, but doesn't allow for filtering custom groups of subscriptions in playlists 🙂

Finerdly

Thank you for sharing, I'll investigate it

PocketTube

That is really good to know, thanks! But now I wish there was a button to mark a video as unwatched / remove it from history 😁 (instead of going into your youtube history) I was surprised to see it doesn't seem to reset the "watch position" in the video, which was my initial fear - so at least when organizing your video subscriptions as much by hand as people with this extension probably do this can be useful to tweak the 'watched' filter 😊

Finerdly

There is no option to filter short amounts, but as a workaround, you can remove the video from history, after that it'll be not considered as watched. If you want to share something privately you can in Patreon DM or by email hello@pockettube.io if you want to be public, there is Patreon chat, YouTube, Reddit, etc, I'll respond to you on any place.

PocketTube

Where's the best place for feature requests? I wonder if there could be a setting to not consider videos watched that you just watched for a short amount of the total length 🤔 Makes the "watched" filter useless for me, sadly 😔

Finerdly

Hi David, I can't reproduce it. Please send me a video on hello@pockettube.io Maybe you disabled the filter on the videos page, check the options here: https://share.cleanshot.com/qwgSVVLM

PocketTube

The most recent updates to the extension causes the list of videos to constantly refresh, making it impossible to click on a video to watch it. This happens on about 50% of the channels. I have created a video of the videos constantly refreshing, which I would be happy to email to you. Turning off the extension fixes the issue. Note also that turning the extension off doesn't immediately work. One has to refresh the YouTube page in order to get it to turn off (refreshing the page to get the extension to turn off might be a Chrome issue).

Hi, there were no updates on the extension side. Where are you from?

PocketTube

Hi, All of my groups had disappeared from the sidebar anything I can try to get them back? I don't even see an option to create new groups.

Sorry for confusing you, yes, PocketTube consists of 2 extensions, one for subscriptions and another for playlists. All premium features for both extensions are available for you as our patron.

PocketTube

oh, I did not. I thought it was a part of the same extension

ohfordaluvofdog

Did you install the extension for a playlist? https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pockettube-youtube-playli/bplnofkhjdphoihfkfcddikgmecfehdd

PocketTube

the watch later options isn't there for me at all. it's as if I didnt have the extension. is there some way I can fix this?

ohfordaluvofdog

No, currently PocketTube doesn't have the features. Thank you for sharing!

PocketTube

Is there any possibility that there could be a way to add a multi select move to top/bottom option? I have a playlist I listen to while I sleep and I would love to be able to pick and choose a few things I want to listen to before it goes onto the normal playlist. Also is there any way to sort a playlist alphabetically by channel name then sort the videos either by upload date or alphabetically? Would be awesome to catch up on creators content one at a time but all in the same playlist.

Cyb

No, currently it's not available. Thank you for sharing!

PocketTube

Is there any way to add a searchable filter to Subscription Groups ---> Groups ----> Set Groups drop down? Would save a ton of time

Steve Knezevich

No, currently you can only search by keyword, but not exclude it. As workaround, if the channel has playlists you can setup deck view with playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGfbT9VkBdQ

PocketTube

to old!

John Gregg

New user here, loving the service! Just wondering, is there any way to filter out videos by keywords without having to create a group for channels? For example, I watch a lot of Reactor channels, and most of their videos I don't mind seeing. But I'm currently not watching Ahsoka due to wanting to finish The Clone Wars first, and I'd like to avoid seeing any videos with Ahsoka in the title since some reactors post really spoiler filled titles and thumbnails. Any ideas on how to make this easier for me? Thank you!

Brandon Duckett

Yes, you can use multi-select, watch the part of the tutorial: https://youtu.be/fEeOfUWpT84?si=WlOzjRk-2ulv62gg&t=32 It's available in an extension for playlist too: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pockettube-youtube-playli/bplnofkhjdphoihfkfcddikgmecfehdd

PocketTube

Is there any way to divide a YouTube playlist into smaller playlists? Wondering if this is possible using PocketTube tools or could be a future feature?

Steve Knezevich

Oh i see that's a shame T_T

It's not related to PocketTube, because PocketTube didn't have a chronological sort for playlists on the view page. It was feature by YouTube and seems YouTube removed it internally. I'll investigate the ability to back using extension, however not sure it's possible.

PocketTube

I think this update changed a small thing with playlists that I used all the time to watch certain channels videos in chronological order, for example for twitch streamer clip channels with tons of new videos that I'm not subbed to or it would flood my sub page. So before I would: Go to a channels videos -> click on the play all button from your extension -> latest video opens up with the playlist on the side -> click playlist name to go to its settings -> reverse order -> watch in chronological order but now: Go to a channels videos -> click on the play all button from your extension -> latest video opens up with the playlist on the side -> *cant click playlist name* The playlist simply shrinks/expands when you click on the name now. Is there a way you could revert that simple change or have a sort in reverse button for the playlist on the side when watching videos? Thanks for the work so far <3

Raffle

Export to csv is available https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75SZsjNb-nI I'm not going to add import, because YouTube can consider it abuse and ban account for multi-subscription. Alternative you can export/import your groups on file. Click on the extension icon -> backup -> export/import. It's account-agnostic backup.

PocketTube

When can we export and import subscriptions? For example, copying our subscriptions to a new channel?

Steve

I shall be making use of all of these features, thank you!
