Thank you colleague!
please push them arguing that a core funtionnality of your product is being
broken: eg the watch list suffers severe issue encountered by advanced user
you have dedicated button to access watch later faster and they all fail
because of watch later over flooded.
advanced work around could also be to let user make the association of
'Watch later' to any playlist of his choice
on forums workaround (and also mine) is to created dedicated playlist
"ALater" (the A is there to ensure to be top of list on youtube app on
android tv) , issue is that it demand lot of more clicks to be handled than
using core "watch later"
alternatively if any enpoint to be created I suggest to create
ResetPlaylist (playlistId) with some Enum to target dedicated watch later /
and even (why not ?!) History !
i know i am rude in my last messages but i have waited this since a year ,
thought the watch later issue would be resolved by other people reporting,
and i have almost commited a suicide once i managed to use web api with
Oauth (a nightmare) and resulted in watch later denied !!!!

Description
- As a user i need to overcome lack of functionality of Youtube : my watch later playlist do not work anymore as it is too big HENCE i need to reset IT. THERE IS NO WAY IN INTERFACE TO RESET FULL WATCH LATER PLAYLIST in a SINGLE CLICK !!!
++> My solution is to work on Api to enumerate content of watch later then delete each entry
- With the appropriate http header (Oauth 2.0):
- Result (copy and paste a JSON response you received)
{
"kind": "youtube#playlistItemListResponse",
"etag": "PqCO86vmlUDWFiOxxxwwjE",
"items": [], <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 0,
"resultsPerPage": 50
}
}
- Expected result
Content of watch later !
AT LEAST PROVIDE THE IDS of videos to be able to remove them from the watch later
- Is it 100% reproducible?
yes
I AM AWARE IT LOOKS YOU DOCUMENTED THAT WL CONTENT CANNOT BE RETREIVED BY API BUT DAMMM !
PROVIDE A WAY TO CLEAR TOTALLY THE CONTENT OF WATCH LATER !!!!!
Not convinced ?
search the number of fake videos on youtube to "DELETE CONTENT OF WATCH LATER"
IF THIS IS NOT A WEB API BUG THERE IS A BUG / LACK of functionnality on YT interface
see attachment : no RESET / CLEAR button (see attachments)
indeed there is a "remove watch" , BUT ISSUE IS THAT USER NEVER WATCH ALL VIDEOS BUT JUMP AND THEREFORE 99% of VIDEOS I VIEWED are TAGGED AS NOT WATCHED !!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT THE ONLY ONE !!!!
do not reply that i need to remove each video 1 by one ( or find an Indian to do it for me)
