Playlist Download

[AntonioHinds]

Update:

There is currently no way to have an entire playlist offline but instead, one will have to manually make each song to be available offline. It would be a nice qol to being able to have an option to make an entire playlist have an offline option.

Below may be of assistance.

Example usage

download_playlist("123", "MyPlaylist")

It's not that I find it difficult to put an already existing function in a loop. It's just that the already restrictive server, which limits some people for no reason, might ban your IP for some time.

It works, however stability is an issue. The app is sluggish at most times. Especially in online mode. Other than that, it absolutely works.

Did it start after this version?

1. Have favoured playlist on the home page. This could be below or above Suggested Playlists.

Yes but what's the point of having library page if we move everything to home page then.

2. Have the metadata from another source and not youtube if possible, especially for song covers.

I have tried that, there's no free and good API for that.

3. Playback stops sometimes, whether this is on the stable version or experimental version. The play/pause button sometimes does not work instantly, the same for the skip song a song.

I'll need more information here, I haven't noticed anything like that

Thank you for this version, it is much smoother than the one before.

1. It was before and after, however the newest version made the process smoother.
2. Point taken, I was thinking about having ease of access to favourite playlist (maximum of 2) on the homepage for quick access. This could be something only in offline mode too.
3. Understood.
4. It is less apparent on the new version, I suspect it was something with the sluggish version before. Sometimes I would have to tap the play button or stop butting more than once or sometimes I would have to wait a bit before it pauses after pressing it. However, it is less apparent. This is a very stable version and very much push the app in the right and best version of itself, I commend you, great work.

This may not be needed but for customisation and quality of life:

1. Having an Amoled Black theme would be nice (this is different from Pure Black Theme)
2. As mentioned before, custom cover art for the playlist or having it so the first 4 songs of the playlist is the playlist cover.
3. Auto backup (Daily, weekly, monthly) or by hours (6, 12, 24 hours) or both.
4. As mentioned above, auto clear cache option when app is closed or every couple of hours or both.
5. A preference to start the app in offline or online mode at select times. I understand this would be determined by the users' time of day and may require heavy coding, as such this is one is a by the way suggestion.

Overall, a very good update(s) which makes the overall experience much better. Perhaps the only app out there that allows for smooth YouTube playlist playback experience. Great work. Stability is still something that always need to be worked on, but the overall experience is good, simple and smooth.

@gokadzev A short update:

Adding offline playlist would help to separate the songs. At the moment there is only the option to see all offline songs and not offline playlist.

I already added it and it is already available. if you mean while enabled offline mode, it will be available in the next version.
