Play All button

[wildcard-f8]

Some channels I subscribe to upload multiple videos a day. When I play the newest video the next on the queue is usually from a totally different channel. So what I used to do in YouTube was go to their channel and click the Videos section and there's a Play All button. This would play their videos from the latest to the oldest so I don't have to go back after every video and look for the next one to play.

This will come with the future playlist update, as we need an internal playlist for that. However it might take a while, because it is a major feature and PrestoN want to take his time with it

I just got FreeTube and this is a feature i am also missing. Will this really need an internal playlist? As far as i can see as a user on Youtube, the "Play all" link at a Channel is just a link to a playlist. And FreeTube is already able to play playlists.

At this point i would like to ask if you also have a NewPipe like "Background Playing"-Feature on the road map? This would be great when listening to music from playlists. I found it is possible to choose "use audio formats" for a video, however this setting resets every video.

As far i observe, the playall button is only for signed user. If that's correct the options is to use youtube api, but i don't know if that suitable for this case.

No, we will basically grab the first page of videos and collect all id's and then throw them into a playlist and play that. No need for any API

Adding ?view=57 to the videos tab url brings back this feature

Coincidentally I found another solution on reddit:

Since this one can be done by manually editing the URL, a novice can easily do it and paste it into freetube.

"get the channel id which starts UC then replace that with playlist?list=UU "

I intentionally picked the ?view=57 version, because some of the other stuff I've tried only shows ~100 videos at a time meaning that playlist shuffle only shuffles there. If another segment is loaded via just loading the next video, only this next segment is visible. I don't know about the other solutions here, but it'd be good if you all checked if this is a thing with your solution
