Appreciate this release! I have a 3 year old and It was becoming difficult to manage what he was watching. One thing that disturbs me most about the Youtube App is that it's search functionality is extremely limited. If I search "educational videos" on youtube.com i see so much more variety of videos and channels vs youtube tv app, the search seems so filtered and honestly does not even show the videos I see on youtube.com. So thank you for the tool!
I am currently using it on a spare apple device, airplayed to my apple tv, with the iphone screen off, video playing in background, and auto play of next videos. idk... seems like perfection to me.
I also appreciate this project because it's so cool that you had this idea and then executed on it. I have the ability to execute but I just don't have the ability to think of ideas :D. I def want to try and create something similar to this!
One suggestion would be to add another tool on the site that output's a channel's id when a user supplies a youtube channel's URL or just accept URLs in your channel id field and do the all the lookup of the channel ID in the backend. I know there are easy ways to do it while on the desktop. I wasn't able to quickly find a way to do it on the phone. Quickest way I found was to use a 3rd party site where I supply the URL and it outputs information about a channel including it's channel id. I am using iphone.
- devrimco 3y agoOh my goodness! I'm very happy that it worked out for you too! Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes I started working on the channel id part, gotta make that easier for sure. My wife has been complaining at me for that too :) I'm thinking both, name->id, and also, even video-url->channel-id. youtube made that very weird in their API, every query has costs, and finding by username is more expensive, there are old usernames, which are not channel custom-urls right now. very mixed-up. well, anyway long story short, I'll do it! Thank you for your message. Cheers.
