Support YouTube playlists

Open paulvt opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

The YouTube widget currently does not seem to support a playlist, even if you use an URL that points to a video but that also contains a list ID (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fooBarBaz&list=PL1_bla_bla_bla). The widget seems to disregard that ID and it is not possible to skip to the next/previous video similary to on YouTube itself.

Maybe there should be a different widget that you can feed just the list ID to make this work?

Yeah it seems that the issue is the library embed-video which is used for this widget doesn't have support for playlists. So either a new widget needs to be done for this - which imo is quite messy or the library has to be extended with that.

Playlists aren't really supported by the spec for video widgets, so this would need to be a custom thing.

Aww such a pity, was hoping it was just a matter of passing the list ID as well...
