Amazing extension! Stops you from wasting your time trying to pick a video to watch. Also great if a certain YouTube channel doesn't have an organized channel homepage.

    Hey, lovely add-on, just one "feature" request, can you make the "Access browser tabs" permission optional? I guess it has to do with the option of reuse the new tab when shuffling, but I don't think it should be mandatory even if it's not active.

    This was great but it unfortunately stopped working.

    Edit: It actually still works by shuffling in the plugin, but the button on youtube is missing.

    Update: I have been able to reproduce and fix this issue in update 3.1.2, which is now live.

    Original: Thanks for your review and feedback. On my end the button is still showing on all browsers - it is possible that YouTube is testing out a new UI with some users which is causing the extension to not work as expected for you anymore. If you would be so kind to open a bug report on the project's GitHub page (https://github.com/NikkelM/Random-YouTube-Video/issues) and include a screenshot of a channel and video page, and we can work together to find the issue.

    This is really pretty good. Some quirk of youtube means it's difficult to get all my favourites without a bit of missing about (I have a lot, all songs). Massive improvement of youtube's laughable shuffle though.

    Hi! It's great to hear you're enjoying the extension - would you mind sharing what you mean when you say it's difficult for you to get all your favourites? I can then try and see if that's something I can try and improve.

    It works great! It would be awesome if you could add a feature to choose a random video from a set of channels or all your subscribed channels.

    Thanks for the review and suggestion! I have put this down in the feature request tracker, so this might make it to the extension in some way in a later version.

    Doesn't work. There's no button, and there's no Shuffle option inside the popup. Does nothing.

    Hi, I'm very sorry to hear that the extension is not working for you. It may be that another extension is interfering with it's functionality, a known example would be Tampermonkey with scripts that run on YouTube. Please also make sure that your browser is up-to-date, as the extension will only work with Firefox 109 upwards.
    If you want to find the root of your issue, feel free to open an issue on the project's GitHub page, and we can work towards finding a solution: https://github.com/NikkelM/Random-YouTube-Video/issues
