Create A To-Be-Played and Have-Played Queue

[artforlife]

We could add a queue, similar to that of Mixcloud (bottom bar) that shows the things one played recently or allows to queue things to be played next.

I am working on issue #222. Along with the basic feature, I am also keeping track of the songs played till now (it's stored in a browser session variable ). That can be integrated into a GUI to show 'played recently' and a 'new queue' ?

[artforlife]

Is there a separate branch for your feature?

[shakeelmohamed]

@artforlife Is there something we still need to do for this if #222 and #1 are added?

[cipher1729]

@artforlife No, there's no branch in the main repo for my feature. I'm still pushing changes to my fork, in the 'autoplay' branch

[artforlife]

@shakeelmohamed Well, I do not use the Youtube playlist feature. What is it like in a nutshell? I am envisioning a sort of To-Play-Later queue. Think of this as bookmarking certain things with intention to return to them later.

[shakeelmohamed]

@artforlife that's basically it. YouTube actually has a special "watch later" playlist designed just for this purpose

[artforlife]

Is there a PR for this yet? Perhaps we can see a screenshot or something.

[shakeelmohamed]

@artforlife there is no PR yet

We discussed some ideas in #212, tying this "later" playlist to YouTube/Soundcloud accounts is my preferred approach.

FYI, we can use Auth0 for free until we week 7k users - not likely to happen 😄 The full tutorial is here we'd just need to request the appropriate YouTube permission scope for Google account login.

I'm not sure how we'd handle Soundcloud if we went that route... any ideas?
edit: looks like Auth0 supports SoundCloud so that's a non-issue: https://auth0.com/docs/identityproviders however, I'm not sure how we'd handle "mixed" playlists
