Checklist

  • I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - which I could contribute my information to.
  • I have read the FAQ and my problem isn't listed.
  • I'm aware that this is a request for NewPipe itself and that requests for adding a new service need to be made at NewPipeExtractor.
  • I have taken the time to fill in all the required details. I understand that the feature request will be dismissed otherwise.
  • This issue contains only one feature request.
  • I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.

Feature description

YouTube has this URL that creates a playlist on the fly:

http://www.youtube.com/watch_videos?video_ids=$videoIDs

where $videoIDs is a comma-separated list of video IDs (vid1,vid2,...,vidN).

For instance, this URL creates a playlist with 3 videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch_videos?video_ids=16J5TrCIEB4,8BsHd52ric0,nc_H-bD2khc

The newly created playlist:

  • doesn't have a title
  • isn't associated with a YouTube account
    (you don't have to be logged in).
  • is temporary
    (I don't know exactly for how long it lasts, but if you save the URL (not this one, the playlist URL that YT redirects you to upon creation) and try to view it again in a few days -- it's gone.)
  • Has a maximum length of 50 items.

It would be great if NewPipe had an option to share a playlist in this format too.

The "Share Playlist" dialog could have a a 3rd option called, e.g., "Share as YouTube temporary playlist".

Why do you want this feature?

This would be great for:

  • Sharing a playlist from your mobile to the desktop
  • Sharing with other people
