Hi

[MSOB7YY]

Hello, are you encountering any issues or willing to give a suggestion ?

[shalva97]

Also add Audio Tracks. For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OFj6l2tQ9s&t=831s video has multiple translations and by default it seems to select Vietnamese audio

[MSOB7YY]

@shalva97 Newpipe backend provides all audio tracks with language identifiers, which means the only thing left is exposing, grouping & ui adapting, please open a new issue for better tracking

[MSOB7YY]

@shalva97 update: Audio tracks are added in edda4ea and available in v1.3.0 Release

any chance of autoplay recommendations? a bunch of other youtube music players have it, and its really useful

[MSOB7YY]

@kaii-lb why not add the videos u want to queue? that way u can choose which to play.
if its automatic, u mean to always play the first video after the current one ends?

[kaii-lb]

@MSOB7YY not like that no. you know how in Spotify or innertune you can search for a song, play it, and it keeps playing songs similar to the one you searched?

As i mentionend innertune which is ytmusic client and a bunch of other clients have it.

i'll look into implementing myself if i have the time, but thats gonna be FAR away (exams lol)

[MSOB7YY]

@kaii-lb i think you are referring to smth like "YouTube mix" or "YouTube music radio", it basically creates a playlist with recommended music.

currently u can achieve similar by tapping on the first mix you see in YouTube recommended videos.

the new youtube client im working on should be able to request a mix playlist, so a button for that might exist later

[kaii-lb]

oh okay, thank you. It might be better to automatically play a mix (maybe have it be a setting?) or have a button for it.

What i understand rn is that its not possible to play more than the mix's number of video, and that the only way to access the mix is by having the YouTube miniplayer turned on?

[MSOB7YY]

@kaii-lb yep exactly that's how it is currently

about having it automatic as a settings, will check when everything is ready
