support searching and browsing accounts and channels

[travisfw]

I searched for an account I subscribe to, and I got videos from it, but out of order, and not including the latest upload. Users should be able to find and browse accounts and channels they know the name for.

Yes you are right. This feature is totally on my roadmap. But before I can implement that, I need to implement a next and related video function, witch is already in work. But it will take a while since I also have to develop some other things first. :)

Just my two cents, but I personally dislike the related videos feature on YouTube. It is a huge waste of time -- I finish watching some video, then instead of returning to what I was doing, the related videos take me down some YouTube rabbit hole that burns 20 minutes of my life! :(

Playlists, on the other hand, are nice. However, I would definitely prefer that related videos could be turned off, or not even included. (The design would also look cleaner without them.)

Indeed related video's are just a way to keep people watching even if that wasn't what they initially came for.
For instance, I'm watching a video about chemistry for homework. I end up watching something competely unrelated and wasting all my time :)
As with other feature request like search history; make it optional in settings

[theScrabi]

Hm may be write, but somehow sometimes I want that. Sometimes youtube offers videos witch can only be seen if another one was seen before. Therefore related videos would be nice.

So i will implement that, but make it suppressible through preferences.

@theScrabi can I just point out it's "right" :) "write" means to write a letter, or to write something down

[theScrabi]

Sry I couldn't get the sleep I'd deserve. :P

[ghost]

@theScrabi Alright, don't miss out on some good sleep. Humans aren't made to code all day :)

[theScrabi]

All right the next version will finally feature browsing channels and users :)
But still you can't search for users.
