Nice. Bookmarked. I never liked how Youtube solved playlists. I like the URL pattern, because it makes it easy, to write a bookmarklet that turns all Youtube links on a page into a playlist. :) Some room for improvement: Please add title attributes to the buttons. Also the loop-button is a bit confusing to me. Maybe standard icons as seen in many other players are easier to understand. It would be nice, to have the v…
I also like your interface, props!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can double-click to play a video. You can also click and drag to rearrange the playlist! This will automatically update the address bar so you can then share the rearranged playlist.
I noticed these two features. What feature does the gray bar that you can toggle by single-clicking pertain to? Gray bars: http://i.imgur.com/hic2avC.png
That being said here are some improvements that you might want to consider:
1. I almost dismissed this as another thing that I'll never use until I found that search bar on the top right. You want to make sure it's visible at first glance.
2. Allow me to drag the volume slider.
3. The button next to the cross/remove is not very intuitive. Took a good 10 seconds before realizing I could drag it. Make tooltip available everywhere.
4. The default video width can be bigger.
5. If a video from the search result is playing, change its play button to a pause so I know that when I scan that list.
6. If there is one thing I'd want to carry from youtube here is recommendations. Sometimes I might not know what to search for. So have a tabbed view between search results & recommendations.
7. You'll probably come to this anyway but I'd like to create an account so I can save my playlists.
Best of luck.
Edit: PS: Just realized I could use a next/previous button.

Thats pretty nifty too. Would love to meet up if you're in the Bay Area =).
Maybe some day. I'm from Portugal so it's a bit far from the Bay Area. Is this just a side project, do you have any greater plans for this? You already have a very nice domain.
Beautiful interface! I actually was throwing around the idea of an audio only Youtube player, can is there a way to toggle the video?
Audio only Youtube player is against the Youtube terms of service. You have to display the video at a certain minimum size. A friend of mine made something similar to this, but audio only, and - if I remember correctly - got a cease and desist. (Or, at least, he got some kind of "you're in breach of terms of service, cut it out" message, which freaked him out and prompted him to take the project offline).
They can mandate a minimum playback size, but do they mandate a minimum playback fps?
If you played the video back at a rate of 1/60fps (dropping all intermediate frames) would that satisfy their requirements and still save battery life or whatever for the people who would prefer not to see any video at all?
This is really well done & solves a pain point that I mostly never realized even existed. This is my default youtube client now. That being said here are some improvements that you might want to consider: 1. I almost dismissed this as another thing that I'll never use until I found that search bar on the top right.

About accounts: Right now, everything is entirely client-side. What it does do though is update the address-bar whenever you add / remove a song to the playlist or rearrange the playlist, etc. This means that you can simply bookmark a playlist after creating it!
Previous / next: For now, we can double click on videos in the playlist to play them.
Clean easy to use, good job !
This is really cool! good job
