Play: Watch Later App

New article: Using Shortcuts to save new videos from a specific YouTube channel: marcosatanaka.com/support/play/p…

Version 1.2.8 is available, bringing support for Focus Filter, Predicate Filtering in Shortcuts, Twitter and Nebula videos, and more!

@cameronjp I'm not able to reproduce it here. Does this happen with a specific video or any video?

@PlayApp_iOS For weeks now, I’ve gotten an error when clicking a YouTube video from the widget on macOS. Selecting Safari from the app picker doesn’t work. Restarting doesn’t fix it. Play 1.2.7 installed. Clicking the Play button in the app directly works. Any suggestions?

@jtamboli Only YouTube/Vimeo/Apple Music at the moment.

A new version is available! It brings support for music videos from Apple Music, UI improvements, bug fixes, and more.

@meh_squared It is not in my current plans, but I can add it to my list to consider for the future!

@PlayApp_iOS The macOS app seems to be missing the grid view, compared to the iOS version. Is there any chance that could be added in a future release? Thanks!

@meh_squared I think that in addition to the technical challenge, there's also the licensing aspect that could be a problem.

@PlayApp_iOS The only thing I’m missing in the app (although it might be a bit out of scope), if being able to play the videos in-app. Especially on tvOS. But I have a feeling this could be quite an undertaking, technically speaking.

@frankjath It is possible on iOS when you go to Settings > Manage Videos!

@cameronjp Have you tried restarting the device? It almost always fixes iCloud sync issues.

@PlayApp_iOS Are you aware of any issues with iCloud syncing at the moment? Have force quite/relaunched the app several times to no avail.

@BenjaminRearden Fico feliz que deu certo! Obrigado!

@PlayApp_iOS Marcos, passando para te agradecer pela adição da URL nessa última atualização ! Funcionando perfeitamente !!! Muito obrigado por mais um excelente recurso !!!!!!!!!!! Valeu

@PlayApp_iOS Marcos, poderia me confirmar quais são as URL schemes que o Play possui atualmente ? Muito obrigado !!!

Play 1.2.6 is now available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac! This update brings: ✨ New Dense List layout 🛠 Customize video metadata and actions 🎛 Video actions in the navigation bar ⭐️ Sort by star rating 🌐 New URL scheme to open a video

@meh_squared Thanks! I'll fix it in the next update.

@PlayApp_iOS Small remark regarding the macOS version: the context menu still says “Watch on YouTube”, even when the option “Watch on Invidious” is enabled in the preferences.

@BenjaminRearden Desculpe! Acabei me confundindo. Essa URL playopenvideo://<VideoID> só é válida quando chamada de dentro dos widgets. Vou ter que adicionar suporte a isso em uma próxima atualização, acredito que fiará algo como play://open?id=<VideoID>

@PlayApp_iOS Valeu Marcos !!!! Dúvida sobre a URL 2️⃣ : eu não te conseguindo executá-la como vc colocou aqui .... Tentei algumas variações como play://open?videoid=<VideoID> play://openvideo?videoid=<VideoID> play://open?id=7HvpqXPQtdA Te agradeceria se pudesse me ajudar a achar a URL certa

Happy iOS 16 Day! Play now offers a Lock Screen widget to make it easier and quicker to see videos you saved for later.

Looks like App Review has already started approving some iOS 16 app updates. Stay tuned for a lot of app coverage on @macstoriesnet soon. 😎

@dw_harrison Sure! Please DM me your Apple ID so I can add you to the group.

Version 1.2.3 is now available! Introducing: • Smart Search • Customizable tags colors • Improved UI for new/watched items • Improvements in Shortcuts

@ArthurtheLemon These issues are already fixed in the beta version that will be released along with iPadOS 16.

@PlayApp_iOS Unfortunately this app constantly crashes on me in ipad os 16. When I long press to bring up options for the video it goes to a blank screen. When I press a video it crashes to my iPad’s Home Screen.

@geekmeenow @mactanaka Thank you! There is a Help section inside the app. Tap the "?" icon in the top-right of the initial screen to access it:

@PlayApp_iOS @mactanaka …I should of said that this app is brilliant. I’ve been using it for 3 months now. I wanted to invest time to the manual to get started on the right foot.

@Eroxx Hey! Here's one example that exports all videos to a text file: icloud.com/shortcuts/2acd…

@PlayApp_iOS Hi! Curious, do you have any example shortcuts for "Play"? I'd love to see if so!
