Feature description

Hello! Good morning, and Happy New Year 2026 to everyone.

This is my first request, and I would like to share with you some features that I would love to see in NewPipe in the future.

These are just personal suggestions. While I would love to see them implemented, I understand that these features might not be aligned with the NewPipe development team's current priorities.


Feature proposals for NewPipe

1. Customized playback speed control

THE PROBLEM:
I usually watch videos at a very specific speed, such as "1.35x." However, to reach that speed, I have to click several times: once on "+25%" and then on "+10%." It is a bit tedious to do this every time if I temporarily need to return to the normal "1x" speed.

THE PROPOSAL:
What if we could create our own speed buttons? For example, I would love to be able to define my own increments (e.g., "20%, 35%"). Another alternative would be the ability to save our "favorite speeds" (e.g., "1x" and "1.35x"). I believe this would be much faster and more convenient.

2. Playlist sorting options

THE PROBLEM:
I am a big fan of playlists! I have a lot of them; I usually create one for every topic I am learning (Electricity, Plumbing, JavaScript, Lua, Excel, etc.) or interests I have (Cooking, DIY, Watch Later, etc.). The problem is that when I have many, finding a specific one becomes a mess. I know they can be dragged to reorder them, but with so many lists, it becomes a very cumbersome task.

THE PROPOSAL:
It would be great to have a menu on the playlist screen to sort them instantly. With options like "Sort from A to Z", finding a playlist would be much easier.

3. Multi-select for video management

THE PROBLEM:
Sometimes I want to clean up a playlist and delete several videos, or move a group of videos to a new list I just created. The issue is that I have to do it one by one, and if there are many videos, it takes a long time.

THE PROPOSAL:
How about adding a "multi-select" feature? Being able to mark all the videos you want to move or delete at once would save a lot of time.

Why do you want this feature?

I would enjoy the NewPipe experience much more, and I'm sure some people could also find these features useful.
