Mini playlists for YouTube.

http://goo.gl/3y2xFo

Watch Next lets you tell YouTube which video you want to watch after this one. Ever saw a couple of YouTube videos and wanted to watch them just right after the one you are watching now? Make a Watch Next playlist - it plays automatically when you finish watching the current video.

You can add a video to Watch Next playlist from any thumbnail on YouTube, or from any link to YouTube (right-click menu).

Have fun making playlists!

watch-next's Issues

Cannot see the playlist

I can add songs through the youtube page but clickling on the extension icon does not show the videos added. It only shows the "Clear Playlist" button and "Autoplay" checkbox

RFE multi device

I'm also a great fan of your extension even so just discovered it today while I was wondering over the last months why YT doesn't provide that by default.
What I'd like to see going forward is an ability to switch devices and keep going with the watch-next a kind of global list.
I understand that you do the trick via JS still I hope that there is a way to implement such

Better instructions

Hi all,

first of all, thanks to @Pobe16 for this amazing extension. This is a feature that I have ever needed and it seems close to what I want.

My main problem is I have installed it and I am discovering how it works but I am doing a reverse engineering more than using it because I do not see clear instructions of how it works.

Could you improve the documentation adding some basic steps to use it or a GIF??

That would be amazing to learn quickly and enjoy :)

Button on video stopped adding to playlist

Just today clicking on the Watch Next button in the video thumbnail stopped working, it doesn't add to the playlist. Version 1.11.5.

I get the following error in the console https://i.imgur.com/KhWuQrZ.png

Thanks

Wanted something exactly like this, worked on it over the weekend, published on github.com/fossapps/YouTubePlay (WIP) and now I see you already did this

Congrats!

Export lists as a normal playlist

Is there a way to export the watch next "playlist" as an actual youtube playlist?

Watch Next breaks if you queue more than fifty videos to watch

I've been travelling so my queue of videos to watch has grown rather large (about 70 items)

The Youtube API call in popup.js Line 55 getDataFromYoutube is restricted to only providing a response for 50 items and errors if you ask for more

I've done a temporary workaround by adding a slice(0,49) to popup.js Line 56 ....

var request = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=' + this.videosArray.slice(0,49).join() + '&key='+conFig.youTubeApiKey+
'&fields=items(id,snippet(title,channelTitle,thumbnails(default)),contentDetails(duration),statistics(viewCount))&part=snippet,contentDetails,statistics';

Of course, this limits me to only seeing the first 50 videos in the queue. Probably a more permanent fix/alternative is needed.

Icons don't show up below video any more

For some time now, the watch next icons haven't appeared below the videos any more, which is really annoying, because I thus can't easily add the current video and play the next :/

Remove duplicates

It would be great to have a button to remove duplicates, and a switch that doesn't allow duplicates to be added in the first place, because I have a pretty long list of videos and don't want duplicates in there.
