Radio / autoplay / music playlists ( start_radio )

If the playlist url has start_radio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJlY1uKL87k&list=RDrJlY1uKL87k&start_radio=1&rv=ONHA6YHjI9o

It seems like it keeps trying to fetch files in an infinite loop. Even if you stop the container and restart it, it just tries to pick back up.

I have not found a way to Stop it, and I don't see where the initial playlist request is still queued.

This might be something to consider or build a UI for, I'm not sure.

Thanks!

I have this exact problem.... Where is the cached data that seems to keep feeding the download queue?

I had to use Metube again, and wanted to preserve my history, but after trying some stuff, I decided to just nuke it....

Deleting everything in the download folder as well, made me realize that there is a .metube folder there, which contains the following data files:

pending queue queue-shm queue-wal

which looks like sqlite databases (Haven't verified) ..

Maybe the key lies here... I'm not gonna restart a radio playlist queue, but until some kind of control is implemented in the UI, I think renaming "pending" could do the trick.
