Random YouTube Video

Customize, shuffle and play random videos from any YouTube channel.

Do you have a favourite YouTube channel, but don't know what to watch? This extension is for you! The "Random YouTube Video" extension adds a "Shuffle" button to YouTube channel, video and shorts pages, which will play a truly random video from the current channel. Use the extension's popup to customize your experience even further! Level up your YouTube experience with these features: ✔ A new shuffle button that uses the native look and feel of YouTube - including dark mode - so it fits right in with the YouTube interface you're used to! ✔ Utilize a wide range of options to individualize your experience, such as ignoring shorts, only shuffling from the most recent videos or shuffling multiple videos into a playlist! ✔ A smart, 100% anonymous backend technology ensures that popular channels shuffle as fast as possible, no matter how many video uploads they have! ✔ ...and much more!

Feel free to open an issue on the project's GitHub page: https://github.com/NikkelM/Random-YouTube-Video Latest changes: v3.1.1 - Fixed a bug where the extension would rename all playlists, instead of just the ones created by the extension. - The collapsed playlist menu will now also have the correct playlist name. v3.1.0 - Firefox: The welcome page now prompts users to allow the extension to access the youtube.com domain, this is needed for the extension to function. - Fixed a bug where the shuffle button in the popup would only work on the second try. - Firefox: Fixed the options page not being accessible. - Firefox: Fixed a bug where the extension was unable to retrieve the amount of local storage used. v3.0.2 - Fixed the fetch percentage in the shuffling page being misaligned. v3.0.1 - Fixed the old "Ignore shorts" option not being updated to the new format correctly. v3.0.0 - Shorts pages are now supported! Shuffle buttons can now be found on all shorts pages. - Added a new option to shuffle only from shorts. - Added a 'welcome' page that will be shown when you first install the extension and guide you through the first steps. - The popup now also works as a standalone options page. - When watching shorts, the extension will now update the last visited channel in the popup. - Reduced the time it takes to shuffle, as the extension now uses a new way to decide whether or not to check if a video has been deleted or not. - The playlist that is opened when shuffling (if the option is enabled) now has a better title and tooltip. - The shuffle button now feels more responsive when clicked, and will give more information if it takes a bit longer to shuffle. - The popup now feels smoother in some places, and will make it clearer when some inputs are invalid. - If certain errors are encountered, the playlist will still be saved locally and in the database, to speed up the next shuffle. - Fixed bugs that would prevent some initialization logic to run after the extension is updated.
