Play a random video uploaded on the current YouTube channel.

Do you have a favourite YouTube channel, but don't know what to watch? This extension is for you!

The Random YouTube Video extension adds a "Shuffle" button to YouTube channel and video pages, which will play a random video from the current channel. You can even choose what percentage of most recent videos should be considered when shuffling to exclude older videos!

Highlighted Features:
- Sharing is caring: If another user has already shuffled from the channel you want to watch, the extension will run faster for you as video IDs are shared!
- Customize your experience: Choose from a wide range of options to individualize your experience, such as opening videos in a new tab or the channel's uploads playlist, and much more!
- Quick access: You don't need to open YouTube to shuffle from your favourite channels: The extension popup allows you to shuffle from your most recently visited channel at any time!

Latest changes:

v1.4.6
- Fixed the "Shuffling..." text on the shuffle button not being reset after a shuffle.

v1.4.5
- Added an additional threshold to prevent the API quotas to be used up by channels with too many uploads by accident.
- Added an alert for users of custom API keys when they are shuffling from a channel with 20,000+ uploads, as the YouTube API only provides the most recent 20,000 results.
- Added a small text change to the shuffle button to indicate the shuffle is working in case it takes a bit longer to fetch data from the database.
- Fixed some alignment issues in the extension popup.
- Removed unused code.

v1.4.4
- Fixed a bug where the channel name displayed in the popup would sometimes not be synchronized with the one that is used in the backend.
- Fixed a bug where it would not be possible to set the shuffle percentage to 100% if another value was previously set.

Perfect. I thought that with how niche of an idea this was that there wouldn't be anyone motivated enough to make this kind of extension, but you have proved me wrong. Works exactly like I imagined it would. Great job!

Man, after getting this extension, it feels like I upgraded YouTube...Can't believe they don't have this already. It's such a useful feature and is incredibly easy to use.
