Feature description

What I would like is an easy way to build a (text file, or, even better, a markdown file) list of URLs to podcasts I have watched so I can separately login to YouTube, etc. later to interact with them. It should contain at least the title and the URL. I'm using Newpipe on Android.

Why do you want this feature?

I don't want to leech off content creators without at least being able to give them upvotes or interact witih them in other ways.
The actual connection doesn't need to be built into Newpipe. It has to be easier than doing the whole process manually.

Additional information

I understand that you don't want any direct connection to YouTube. That makes sense. But upvotes, etc. are important to content creators.

I found the Share icon and copy to clipboard and that works with a notes app, etc., but it's really clunky to do. Even the share icon is buried somewhere. I haven't figured out how to easily get to it yet because I'm new to Newpipe.

All this request needs is building and appending lines to a text file, so there's no rocket science involved. Adding it to the UI is probably more work than all the rest of it.

I've only been using Newpipe for a week or two so far and it has made my experience much better. YouTube itself takes me everywhere except where I want to go and your app takes me right there.

If you have the podcasts or videos saved in a local playlist you can share them as a list of URLs either with or without titles. You also have the option to share as a YouTube playlist which might work better in your case :)

Hope this is helpful!

@Kaladii Thanks for showing me that. It helps, but it's not quite what I want.

I am listening to the Unshielded podcasts that I'm subscribed to on YouTube. There are a lot of them, most of which are not available as playlists and most of which I haven't listened to yet. I tried sharing the the subscription and I got one URL to the whole huge thing. That really doesn't help for what I want to do.

Maybe there's a way to do it, but I don't see it yet. If I have to manually build a playlist for everytihing as I watch it, that's a lot of work. I have the Automate app installed if that will help, but I haven't learned to use it yet.
