Invidious: Nested playlists

Created on 18 Jul 2018 · 6Comments · Source: iv-org/invidious

As another follow-up to #16, a user should be able to create more intricate orderings then just flat lists. Linking off to other playlists, looping, nesting several playlists, etc. This would have to be added separately in addition to YouTube's playlists. It would likely be best for this functionality to implement playlists as a graph rather than a flat list.

Would be awesome if you would extend this to subscriptions as well, so you can organize subscriptions. It can be hard to keep track of everything if you have a lot of channels you subscribed to without any sort of sorting.

also allow them to include channels. it would make it much easier to discover new channels by looking at such public playlists by people with shared interests.

I think there's two separate features being requested here. Having an ability to group and organize channels would be excellent to have, but I wouldn't consider it a playlist.

I think it would make sense to open a new issue for the requested functionality regarding channels. A "channel playlist" would only contain channels or other channel playlists. Users would be able to name, organize, and share them.

you could also call this collection instead. the purpose of my suggestion is different but i think that it can still share the same data structure. being able to share a collection of cannels is what makes it easy to find new interesting videos. however i can also see a use in being able to bundle single videos and playlists into these collections. similarly being able to add channels to playlists saves a lot of effort and also includes new releases automatically. maybe have different interfaces but share the backend format?
