Fix Youtube Shuffle

It's pretty ok. I don't really care about the unavailable video thing, but a main suggestion I have is to make it shuffle at the end of the video. It can actually do this, but it's weird and probably unintended. I have to remove it from chrome, start my play list and put it on youtube shuffle, and then re-add this to chrome and refresh the page. Besides from that, is there a way to make it load every song on a playlist? Youtube by default only loads 200 songs but with my playlist of over 1,00... Show more

It works as described but I use youtube playlists mostly for music so whenever I press shuffle it'll take me to an unavailable screen and play whatever was next in the playlist without keeping shuffle on so the song after that one would be the next one ordered in the playlist.

It actually randomizes the video. It leaps through a playlist like it should. However, for some reason it keeps saying that a video is unavailable when it isn't.

This is sadly unfixable for now. The problem is that youtube doesn't allow us to directly go to a video in a playlist by video index. I'm using a workaround which allows me to do it, but it has the negative side effect you mentioned where youtube gets confused for a while. But if you see that you can just wait and it will eventually still navigate to a video. There is actually a way I could fix it and which would make it faster too using the youtube api, but that would cost me money and the way it works now is free.

it actually works! i can finally listen to the songs in my playlist that have been gathering dust.

Not great for ambient listening as it doesn't shuffle on the song end, but does it's job well enough otherwise.

Thank you, good idea. I'll think about adding this.

YouTube should have already done this

Works well, thank you
