After hearing about Freetube, I finally set it up and was all on board, got it configured and then was deflated to see it apparently has no queue function? I use that feature on YouTube so much that I just had to stop using it pretty much immediately.

If I somehow overlooked that or it comes in a later development stage, I’d happily move to it exclusively.

There is a bit missing with auto discovery on these frontends, which makes sense...if it doesn't track what you watch, it can't recommend things. Most have related videos though, so you're not just stuck with your subscriptions.

Think you meant this for someone else. I see lack of suggestion algos as a good thing.

Oh, I think I misunderstood what you meant by queue function. I get it now, the ability to pick a bunch of videos and have them play through, not a recommendations queue.

FYI Queue/OnTheFly Playlists are already in the Feature Request list according to github, pog

Excellent, thanks for the heads up. Can’t wait to ditch the site.
