Feature request: Categories blocking

Open nitinjs opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Each youtube video is categorised in these categories

I wonder how to block all videos in particular category?

@yuliskov can you add features to select and block category

want to block gaming category in youtube

I would use this to block News & Politics.

Just discovered there is Youtube API for getting information about the videos
Following YT API request returns video metadata which contains Category Id

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=id%2C+snippet&id=4Y4YSpF6d6w&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

so I propose in SmartTube there can be a screen to enter Youtube API Key and selection list for blocking YT Categories
