changed the title

thanks for the suggestion @at-pyrix I had this idea almost 4 months ago I just never looked into it much more than I did then.
|
|
I planned on making the displayed time match the style that shows when looking at a video's length. I could do it how you showed in your screenshot it wouldn't be much more work. |
|
This feature will require a YouTube Data v3 API key. I think we should be able to include one in the extension but also have the option to use your own key as it is possible the included key could be rate limited |
|
Making the feature react to the video speed shouldn't be hard at all |
|
Amazing! Thank you for your time. |
you're welcome |
|
Also, can we have something like this?
|
I can look into doing that. I currently don't know how to get the amount watched of the videos in the playlist for the user. |
|
Wait I just found out that this extension is on gh: https://github.com/WaiShen1000/YouTube-Playlist-Duration-bar |
oh nice |
|
Leave it, that would just increase your workload when there's already an extension for that. my main concern was that it wasn't open-source but now I found out it is, so no problem with that. |
|
I see no api is used with this extension. It must be limited to the amount of videos you load from the playlist part |
|
yeah |
|
Are you interested in implementing this feature? because now it seems unnecessary, as there is already an extension for it. It doesn't react to playback speeds though, although that is just a minor inconvenience. |
Yes I am |
|
Oh okay, then :) Thanks 👍 |
no problem. |
|
that extension is limited to the amount of videos you load in the playlist side element. If a playlist is big enough it will show 200 videos then you have to go to the last video to load more. |
|
@at-pyrix do you know about the discord server for the extension? If you use discord feel free to join and discuss this suggestion and others you might have. |
|
Here's the invite link YouTube Enhancer Extension Discord Server |
|
I'm sorry but I don't use discord. |
That's fine |
|
@at-pyrix I started working on this feature. I'm thinking of a way to handle fetching the playlist info and each videos duration without destroying the API thus hitting quota limit fast |

thanks |

@at-pyrix you're welcome, if you find any bugs or anything you think is an issue make an issue about it please and thank you. |
|
Alright! (I think we should end this with 100 comments lol) |
|
Also, when are you gonna release this (pre-built)? |
|
Not sure it might be a couple days or a week or weeks it depends on when I get more done. |
|
Fair enough. |

Hey, what do you think of this?

|
I should be able to apply that change. |
|
sorry, I didn't see that at the time |
|
|
@at-pyrix is the feature working alright so far? |
It is. Btw, how was the |
Yes it includes the ones before you watched but only the amount tracked on that account. The feature doesn't assume you watched it all. |
|
The html option uses the pages data to get the playlist duration and the playlist watch time. it is not possible to get the watch time from the api. so the api type uses the api to get the playlist duration and the page data for the watch time |
|
if needed I could modify the code to assume you watched any videos prior to the one you are on. I could add a checkbox for that or something |
|
Good idea |
I thought about it a bit. I think I'd need to think of the right way to word the checkbox label/title. |
|
@at-pyrix |
Where does that selector get modified? is it just something that changes automatically |
|
@at-pyrix I've attached the extension pre-built with the new select for how watch time is obtained. Release Artifacts
|
|
@at-pyrix is everything still working fine with the feature? have you found any bugs or is there anything you want changed |
|
It's working perfectly fine :) |
|
thanks |
|
@at-pyrix great to hear thanks for replying |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes, while watching a long YouTube playlist, I need to know the total length. This is very useful for students and people watching a course on a subject through YT in estimating the time required.
Describe the solution you'd like
A total duration of the playlist on the sidebar would do the trick.
It would be even better if it reacted to the playback speed, just like the remaining time does. For example, if I'm watching the current video at 2x speed, the playlist length should change to 5h:15h:18s.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the following website: https://ytplaylist-len.sharats.dev/ (maybe some code can be used from here to make it easier?)
