Playlist generator Extension

Do you find yourself bookmarking youtube videos/songs that you like? If you do, this chrome extension is for you. When you install it, the user-friendly interface displays three easy steps for you to follow: locate the folders that hold your youtube bookmarks (my folder names are \"Music\", \"Music 2\", and \"Music 3\"), type in the names of those folders into the extension separated by a comma (\"Music,Music 2,Music 3\"), and finally, choose whether to listen to the songs in-order or shuffled and you'll begin listening to hours of music.

First, disable auto-play on Youtube. Then, after you click the \"Shuffle\" or \"In-order\" button in the extension, a small window will appear and you can relax from there on out; the chrome extension will automatically select a new song and play it once the old song is over.

v1.1 - Fixed bug in v1.1 where songs were still duplicating.
v1.2 (01/25/19) - Fixed bug where unavailable/deprecated/removed/country-blocked videos are automatically skipped and banned to assure they never reappear.
v1.3 (02/02/20) - Completely refactored code and reduced pause time between song transition.
v2.0 (06/01/20) - Reset versioning system to do it properly. Removed scrollbar removal feature and fixed some UI issues.
v2.2 (06/02/20) - Added functionality to store a user's 5 most recent playlists. Also added error messages for empty bookmark folders/playlists.
v2.3 (11/28/20) - Fixed a few bugs with error messages and button functionality.
v3.0 (12/30/21) - Upgraded from Manifest v2 to Manifest v3
v4.0 (05/25/24) - After experiencing multiple issues with Manifest v3 and multiple reverts, all issues have been resolved to avoid the extension being dropped in July 2024 due to the Manifest migration.

v4.1.0 (06/21/24) - Enable functionality to search over Other/All Bookmarks instead of just the Bookmarks Bar.

Grue Turtle (ID: 000000ef6d2bdd9b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/30/2023 just opens one video

Anno Domini (ID: 0000007642d34af4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2023 Works like a charm. I have a folder with 50+ bookmarks and it was a pain to scroll through the list to choose songs at random. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful year ahead!

Wizz Hard (ID: 000000aed644e0cd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/01/2021 Great plugin ! Perfect for what i need. I have only one suggestion : Make it possible to create the playlist in a new tab instead of a new window because when you close another tab, the fresh playlist window also closes. (Or it is a bug in my side ?!). Thanks you anyway.

Wes Horne (ID: 0000008b94e5dcd1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/13/2021 Works perfectly for my purposes. I had compiled huge folders of YouTube links, but I didn't have time to create a playlist. This extension makes a non-YouTube playlist that automatically selects random videos from a folder. Requests I have are for a feature that goes through links in order, or to create a real YouTube playlist, though I realize the latter might be difficult. I've been using it for about a year, without any notable issues. Thanks for the great extension!

Johnny Jillky (ID: 0000000def31f8b3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/04/2021 I had clicked the extension hoping it would make a playlist on YouTube itself... however, upon trying it, it pretty much does what a YouTube playlist does by itself (play a list). And for my purposes, that's all I wanted to do. I'm not even using it for music. I just like bookmarking videos since it's quicker to do that than wait for a YouTube page to load to save a video to a playlist haha
