Create playlist

Solved
Mots croisés -  
Hello,

I’m looking to create a music playlist.
There are plenty of links explaining how to do it on YouTube, but none of these manipulations are simple to carry out.
Also, many examples are several years old, and YouTube doesn't look the same anymore. So following demonstrations is quite complicated for me.

Isn't it simpler to create one using VLC? Or other websites specifically designed for this kind of creation?

Thank you for your help

    hi

    you can easily create two playlists on youtube

    a list of the videos you like
    by clicking on 'like'
    a list of videos to watch later
    by clicking on 'save to watch later'

    personally, I prefer VLC
    but VLC doesn't play youtube playlists
    so you have to create your own VLC playlist manually
    but it's the best in terms of interface and speed
    and no more ads and other suggestions

    ciao ciao

      Good evening to both of you

      For Dailybet: A playlist to listen to music, either on TV or PC, without having to select each track.
      So I can listen to music continuously while I’m busy in the apartment, for example.

      For fmq: Yes, I saw on Google that you can create a playlist on YouTube. But that means clicking and clacking to get to the place where I can create the playlist.
      That being said, I didn’t really get any details on how to proceed to listen to the music continuously.
      Once the playlist is created, how do you proceed to listen to it continuously?

      And on VLC, where I've also seen that you can create one as well.
      That seems less complicated to me.
      I don't mind at all creating the list "manually". I don’t mind downloading music from YouTube, to then transfer it to a USB stick or external hard drive.

      I think I’m more inclined to create a playlist "manually".
      Can you explain to me how to do it? Or send me a link that explains the steps well?

      Thank you to both of you

      Thank you fmq

      Knowing that I have a preference for VLC.
      Because once the files are converted, I can take them with me, in the car for example.

    Hello

    to create your playlist
    you open your favorite editor
    you create a file containing the URLs in the following format

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <playlist xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/" version="1">
    <title>Playlist</title>

    <playlist>
    <trackList>

    <track>
    <location>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video number1</location>
    <title>title of video1</title>
    </track>

    <track>
    <location>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=video number2</location>
    <title>title of video2</title>
    </track>

    .
    .
    .
    .

    </trackList>
    </playlist>

    you save it as playlist.xspf

    ciao ciao

      Uh, I'm a bit lost here.

      I don't know these HTML codes (I suppose that's what it is).

      When you say "editor," do you mean something like Notepad??

      If so, what do I do with this text?

      @Mots croiséshi

      I don't know anything about html either...........
      it's just text

      here, I'll send you my current playlist
      you can just use it as an example
      you'll put your urls in place of mine
      (right-click save as and then open the playlist with vlc)

      https://www.cjoint.com/doc/19_11/IKkp673EuhQ_playlist-youtube.xspf

      see you

      ps:vlc doesn’t read youtube urls by default
      you might need to patch it if you haven’t done so already
      don't worry, it just takes two clicks

      Well, here it is fmq.

      That's exactly what I need, it's perfect
      I tested your URL
      I put the VLC list on the desktop, I open it and I have the music playing continuously
      That's what I want

      Thank you
      Have a nice day

      @Mots croiséshi

      cool
      you just have to use the notepad to put your tracks
      I’ll mark it as resolved

      bonus: your favorite browser also reads xspf files

      I’m working on a pictures flow playlist
      but still some bugs


      ciao ciao
