[FR] Favourites aka bookmarks about newpipe HOT 23 CLOSED

I'd definitely like to see support for "pseudo-subscriptions" using the RSS feeds offered by each YouTube channel's page, just like I do in my desktop Web Browser.

@axelsimon the latest version of NewPipe includes a search and watch history.

But favorites will come as soon as playlist support is implemented (essentially it is a playlist).

Good idea, @ildar. I think RSS may be a good way of handling this. For those with a Google account, subscriptions can be exported to an OPML file. Perhaps NewPipe could have an import/export feature for that.

For those not using Google the template for a channel's RSS feed is:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=XXXX

Well I'm planing to implement the hole channel thing. Means searching, subscription, and status update. So far I'm also using an rss feed reader to subscribe to some. @fred702 As far as i know not all channels allow rss is that true?

@theScrabi You might have to go digging into the website source, but i've always been able to find a channel id. I'm not sure if there's a way to automate it using an API.

Why go fancy? Just being able to bookmark a video or seeing the history of played videos would be nice.

Well subscription is another topic of coerce, but it would still be a great feature. Bookmarks on the other hand is rather simple, in fact its more or less what i hope to implement next.

from newpipe.

Yes I don't want the could either. Mirroring onto the SD card wouldn't be such a great problem, so we could do that :)

from newpipe.

would definitely love this feature and agree with @aphirst about the channel subscriptions but must be local (without online account login)

from newpipe.

It will be local.
It'll be the next thing I'll work on:
Designing a proper database for such things.

I have my exams at the moment, afterwards I have some time to take care about this.

thanks :)

Don't mean to be the "are we there yet" kid, but is there any progress on this? I really enjoy using NewPipe… except for when I start watching a video, go do something else, forget about it, click a Youtube link in another app that opens NewPipe and then remember that I was watching something interesting.
And there is now no way to finding what it was.

Also, a simple history (log) of what was watched would help answer a question that comes up often (to me, at least): what was that interesting video I watched (or started watching) the other day?

In any case, thanks for making NewPipe 😃

Although when you implement this, there should be a Favorites button which should be easily accessible in Kiosk :)

Yea but can't you add a playlist like favourite, or watch later yourself, or do you think its necessary for us to label those?

By your son hä 😀. Well if it's like that we need to consider it ;D

However the thing is that i always want to keep the UI as flat as possible, in order not to add double functionality, or doube paths. Otherwise this would bload it. We already are at a point where we barely can put something at the detail screen, but still have to.
