Hi

I would love if in the context menu you could get the users play lists. I subscribe to a lot of Lets Players that have several thousands of videos. But they always make play lists for the videos for a specific "lets play". As of right if I want to start watching an old lets play it almost impossible if I don't make my own play list first. If I could get a list of all the play lists that user has made that would be wonderful :D

I'm willing to try to implement it myself but I can't seem to find the source for the Youtube site, If someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful :)

Thanks for the link :) But unfortunately this is a bit to complex for me. I found the YouTube function I need (Google.GData.YouTube.PlaylistsFeed) but I have no idea how to implement it and when I try to build it I get 108 errors :) I did download the whole project so.

What I really hope someone will implement is a extra entry in the context menu under "Uploads by:" like "Playlists by:"
Just time will tell :)

I was looking for the same in the past and took a closer look into the dokumentation of the youtube data api (https://developers.google.com/youtube/getting_started#data_api). I'm also not a pro like you and youtube hides the topic very well but I found it here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_playlists#Retrieving_playlists

It works perfectly for me to add "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/USERID/playlists?v=2" as a new feed (change USERID with the user you want to watch)

I've done this already for my "gronkh site contribution" (german let's plays) but I want to group it by user befor updating it. Does anybody know how to realise this manually in the "OnlineVideos.xml"?

z4k: I used to this for subs before OV got that implemented. But for my case this isn't really practical because I got more that 50 people I sub and if I search and find a new lets player and just wishes to see what games he/she has played It would be so much quicker to just be able to press info and get all the playlists. Just like how you can get all their uploads.

    I just published an update to the YouTube site which should add this feature (if I understood it correctly).

    You're an angel :) This was exactly what I wished for. Now I can find all the videos for old Let's Plays with ease.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++ on this :)
