Right now I'm using Bromix' Youtube plugin and its subscriptions function. There you can toggle between a full list of uploads and the playlists. For those channels or playlists that I currently watch I have defined Kodi favorites for quick access.
...

You mean that you can subscribe to playlists in Bromix' Youtube plugin? Or do you mean that you've favorited several playlists so you can access them easily? That mechanic is different ofcourse, since Bromix' Youtube plugin only has to grab the videos of a playlist when you click on such a playlist.

..
If you were to try and map that onto TV Shows/Seasons, it would indeed be best to allow a choice for each playlist like "Update automatically / Update manually / Ignore".

You're right, adding each playlist separately using the filters would certainly be possible. But I think it'd be quite cumbersome, and you know how people tend to be lazy, and it would also really clutter up the TV Shows list. That's why I was thinking whether we could use the Seasons mechanic to have an automatic two-layered hierarchy.

I can see how this is probably not what you had in mind for your plugin. But if you're willing to try and pursue this use case, feel free to let me know and I'll gladly help you test it! I'll also contact you via PM for the localization thing.

I've checked some channels you've send and most don't even seem to have that many playlists at the moment. But I fear when they've played a 100 games, they're gonna have a 100 playlists. Also, I wonder why you can't pick the uploads playlist and put the games you only want to see in the "include only" filter. The only problem is they wouldn't be ordered in seasons like the games. I have been thinking what would be an elegant solution in this, and picking more than 1 playlist in a channel could be a nice feature. I was thinking of maybe adding the option you can choose a maximum of playlists, or that the playlists are automatically disabled if a video isnt added in more than half a year or something. I was also thinking you should just still pick the uploads playlist, but adding in a feature that it will try to order them in seasons according to its game. There are always more than 1 road, so this could use some further thinking. Perhaps there is an elegant solution that could work

Adding the playlist seperately can be quite cumbersome, I agree. I'm not quite sure if you knew exactly what I mean tho, since it wouldn't clutter up the TV Shows in your library, only the list in the addon. (If you add the same tv show information, the episodes should scan into the same folder, and thereby be put into the same tv show in the library)

If playlists that are sorted oldest to newest don't work (or won't re-scan) does that mean the Uploads playlist won't work?

Also I get seasons that aren't years for some (perhaps all) of the Uploads playlists I've added. Season 1, Season 2, then Season 2015 etc. I don't know if this is a known or intended behavior.

Uploads playlists should always be sorted newest to oldest. Tho I have seen in my testing that some uploads playlists have put the videos slightly out of order (weird Youtube API behaviour), making the newest video the 3th in the list, instead of the 1st. This shouldn't be a problem tho, if the new video is in the top 50 videos, my addon will stick pick it up. So I haven't come across any uploads playlist that don't work with this addon.

If you have chosen "year" as the season numbering; no, you shouldn't have seasons like 1 or 2. I had 1 playlist during my testing that did this, thought I fixed it and didn't come across it anymore. Is there perhaps something like 01x20 or s01e20 in the video title? It seeemed that the 02x12/s02e12 recognizition got fired up when it shouldn't.
Could you supply the channels/playlists where this behaviour happened?

Hi there,

I'm loving this add-on, its been working great.

One small feature request I would like to suggest is the ability to subscribe to my own youtube watchlist. That way I can mark a video as watchlater and then it will be automatically added to my Kodi library.

This is might already be possible, but I'm unsure. I couldn't find my own youtube account when searching for it in the add-on.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks.

Thanks! . Yes, I want to add a feature in the future that allows you to log in and see all your own (private) playlists. Until then, however, the only way to add your playlists is if they are public and sorted newest to old. When you create a playlist, Youtube mostly sorts them oldest to newest by default. You can change this to newest -> oldest yourself in the playlist settings on youtube.

So, for now, you can create a playlist you call "To watch later" or something, make it public, sort it newest -> oldest, and add it into the addon. Then you can just add videos to that playlist, and they should be picked up automatically.

If you can't find your channel, it's probably because you haven't uploaded any videos and are not considered a channel. I believe you could still make yourself publically searchable without uploading a video, but I'm not sure how. You should google it, it's probably been asked before .
