Auto Fetch Imported Data
I need to do more backend work for this, and that’s coming as part of the bigger work to allow more videos per channel. Once that’s in place all of it will auto refresh.

Change video order for channels/playlists
Is it possible to load the videos from the channel and then order them oldest to newest (or for that to be an option)? Watching a webseries in reverse order is fine if there is no throughline, but it can be a bit odd seeing multipart videos coming through with the last part first.

I cant seem to get these videos to work when making a channel. Wondering if I’m doing something wrong or is this something they are working on?

CRT whine sound
I would really like there to be an option to enable that CRT whine. Maybe with some very quiet white noise if you want. It would be perfect as something to go with the scanline effect

Bug report
I can’t sign in. I press sign in and then do the thing with my Google email and then it sends it says I have an account already so I should try signing in instead of creating an account. It just is stuck in this loop.

Not able to add playlists to channels anymore.
In the past, I was able to just grab the link of different playlists and add them to a custom channel. Unfortunately, now every time I do it, it claims that the playlist is a private playlist. Not sure if it's a bug or something on my end, but I've tested it with a playlist that I was able to grab in the past, and they're currently not parsing.

Import ALL videos?
This is a fantastic product. Well done. Is there any possible way to set this up so that when you import a channel or a playlist without using the bookmarklet, it will import all of the videos that are within the playlist or the entire channel? Currently, when I use the instant importer and just drop in a playlist or a channel, I only get the most recent fifteen videos or so. This is a shame because I'm trying to create a custom Sesame Street channel for my son, and I want to combine the videos that are in about five different playlists. f I add all five of those playlists, I'll only get around fifteen videos from each, when a lot of these playlists actually have hundreds of videos in them… That's a lot of content I would hate for him to miss out on, but I love the idea of having a unified master playlist that has everything in it.

Add Filter for YouTube Shorts!
Hey there! I typically watch long form videos for my channels but many creators make Youtube Shorts which don’t fit the scaling or vibe of Channel Surfer. Would we be able to implement a feature to filter these out? Thanks for your consideration!😄

Custom channel reordering & ability to hide default channels
1. Reorder custom channels — Let users drag/arrange their custom channels in whatever order they want. As people add more channels and make changes, they need a way to organize them intentionally rather than being stuck with creation order. 2. Hide/disable default channels — Give paid subscribers the option to hide the built-in default channels so they can have a view that shows only their custom channels. Not deleting them permanently, just toggling visibility.

Performance update
Right now, the guide and page are super buggy and slow. It gets worse the more channels that are added. This needs to be fixed.

Sleep timer
Hello, thank you for creating this. Is there a sleep timer feature? If not, I suggest adding it as a feature. Would be helpful and allow users/viewers to fall asleep with the “TV on".

Bug Report - Watched Videos Not Importing
I couldn’t find a specific place to report bugs on the site, but this is a serious problem for me. Whenever I use the bookmarklet to import channels, it always skips over videos that I’ve already watched, even when I uncheck the “hide videos I’ve already watched” checkbox. I’ll be happy to provide more information if needed.
