Description

Hey I have an idea that will probably be a little complicated to implement, basically i want unlisted videos to be listed on channel pages, i have 2 ideas on how to implement this:

  1. Use https://unlistedvideos.com/ to get the unlisted videos, by using https://unlistedvideos.com/search.php?user=<ChannelName>
  2. Create your own database that has unlisted videos, the user will click a button to add that unlisted video to the database (I don't suggest making it automatic as there's probably people that unlisted the video for privacy reasons).

Here's my idea, let me know what you think!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First inspect how the extension obtains and renders videos on YouTube channel pages, then determine whether an external source or user-managed database is acceptable. Done means an agreed privacy-preserving approach is implemented and unlisted videos appear on channel pages.
