v2.0.0
What's Changed
- Added a new option: 'Ignore shorts'. When enabled, the extension will not choose shorts when shuffling. This option is disabled by default, you can enable it in the extension popup.
- The 'Open as playlist' option has been reworked to be more useful in the context of the extension: If this option is enabled, the shuffle will now open a playlist of randomly chosen videos instead of the uploads playlist of the channel. Please note that YouTube does not allow you to save this playlist.
- Added an input to let you choose how many videos should be shuffled and placed in the playlist when the 'Open a playlist' option is enabled. YouTube limits the length of these temporary playlists to 50 videos. Higher values will also lead to longer shuffle times.
- The 'Reuse new tab' option is now able to reuse the tab even if it is not the currently focused one. It will however not reuse the tab if you have since navigated away from YouTube, to not accidentally overwrite a page you might still need.
- Added a 'Changelog' button to the popup that will open the changelog in a new tab. The button will be highlighted if the extension has received an update since the last time you opened the changelog. You can also use this page to view older versions of the changelog.
- Added hints and useful information about the extension to the shuffling page opened when using the shuffle button from the popup.
- Added a tooltip to the 'Shuffle' button on channel and video pages.
- Added a link to the YouTube API documentation to help you get started with setting up your own API key. You can find it in the popup when enabling the 'Use custom API key' option.
- Sliders in the popup for enabled options will no longer play their 'enable' animation when the popup is opened and instead directly start in the correct position.
- Changed some default settings for a better first-time experience.
- Sped up the process of checking if a video exists or not by not waiting for unnecessary results from an API request.
- Sped up the popup initialization.
- Fixed the buttons displayed under a video sometimes being misaligned/overlapping for most resolutions.
- Fixed a bug where it was possible that the 'Shuffle' button shuffled from a previously visited channel instead of the current one.
- Fixed an issue with the extension checking an internal URL against a fixed instead of dynamic extension ID.
- Fixed a small scaling issue in the popup.
v1.5.2
What's Changed
- Added an option that allows you to reuse the same tab when shuffling multiple times from the same channel. This setting only takes effect if you have enabled the option to open shuffled videos in a new tab.
- Fixed a bug where it was possible for the database to not include some videos uploaded on a channel.
v1.5.1
What's Changed
- Correctly migrate old channel settings to the new format.
- Small improvement to backend logic for channel settings.
v1.5.0
What's Changed
- Added three new options to the popup: You can now choose to only shuffle from...
- ...videos uploaded on or after a certain date.
- ...videos uploaded on or after the day another video was uploaded.
- ...the most recent x% of videos uploaded on the channel.
- Fixed a bug that might sometimes cause user settings to not get saved correctly.
v1.4.6
What's Changed
- Fixed the "Shuffling..." text on the shuffle button not being reset after a shuffle.
v1.4.5
What's Changed
- Added an additional threshold to prevent the API quotas to be used up by channels with too many uploads by accident.
- Added an alert for users of custom API keys when they are shuffling from a channel with 20,000+ uploads, as the YouTube API only provides the most recent 20,000 results.
- Added a small text change to the shuffle button to indicate the shuffle is working in case it takes a bit longer to fetch data from the database.
- Fixed some alignment issues in the extension popup.
- Removed unused code.
v1.4.4
What's Changed
- Unfortunately, an attacker has compromised the default API keys provided by the extension. You can read the statement here. These keys have therefore been disabled. You can still use your own custom API key, which is never transmitted to the extension's database and can therefore not be stolen. If you do not have a custom API key, you can generate one here. I will be working on reworking the way in which the extension communicates with YouTube's API to prevent this from happening again. I apologize for the inconvenience.
- Fixed a bug where the channel name displayed in the popup would sometimes not be synchronized with the one that is used in the backend.
- Fixed a bug where it would not be possible to set the shuffle percentage to 100% if another value was previously set.
