## Week 8: Mixes
|
||||
|
||||
Hello again!
|
||||
|
||||
Mixes have been added with [`20130db`](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/20130db), which makes it easy to create a playlist of related content. See [#188](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/188) for more info on how they work. Currently, they return the first 50 videos rather than a continuous feed to avoid tracking by Google/YouTube, which I think is a good trade-off between usability and privacy, and I hope other folks agree. You can create mixes by adding `RD` to the beginning of a video ID, an example is provided [here](https://www.invidio.us/mix?list=RDYE7VzlLtp-4) based on Big Buck Bunny. I've been quite happy with the results returned for the mixes I've tried, and it is not limited to music, which I think is a big plus. To emulate a continuous feed provided many are used to, using the last video of each mix as a new 'seed' has worked well for me. In the coming week I'd like to to add playback support in the player to listen to these easily.
|
||||
|
||||
A very big thanks to [**@flourgaz**](https://github.com/flourgaz) for Docker support with [#186](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/pull/186). This is an enormous improvement in portability for the project, and opens the door for Heroku support (see [#162](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/162)), and seamless support on Windows. For most users, it should be as easy as running `docker-compose up`.
|
||||
|
||||
I've spent quite a bit of time this past week improving support for geo-bypass (see [#92](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/92)), and am happy to note that Invidious has been able to proxy ~50% of the geo-restricted videos I've tried. In addition, you can now watch geo-restricted videos if you have `dash` enabled as your `preferred quality`, for more details see [#34](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/34) and [#185](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/185), or last week's update. For folks interested in replicating these results for themselves, I'd take a look [here](https://gist.github.com/omarroth/3ce0f276c43e0c4b13e7d9cd35524688) for the script used, and [here](https://gist.github.com/omarroth/beffc4a76a7b82a422e1b36a571878ef) for a list of videos restricted in the US.
|
||||
|
||||
1080p has seen a fairly smooth roll-out, although there have been a couple issues reported, mainly [#193](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/193), which is likely an issue in the player. I've also encountered a couple other issues myself that I would like to investigate. Although none are major, I'd like to keep 1080p opt-in for registered users another week to better address these issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Have an excellent week everyone.

## Week 7: 1080p and Search Types
|
||||
|
||||
Hello again everyone! I've got quite a couple announcements this week:
|
||||
|
||||
Experimental 1080p support has been added with [`b3ca392`](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/b3ca392)2a9073b4abb0d7fde58a3e6098668f53e, and can be enabled by going to preferences and changing `preferred video quality` to `dash`. You can find more details [here](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/34#issuecomment-424171888). Currently quality and speed controls have not yet been integrated into the player, but I'd still appreciate feedback, mainly on any issues with buffering or DASH playback. I hope to integrate 1080p support into the player and push support site-wide in the coming weeks.

|
||||
|
||||
You can now filter content types in search with the `type:TYPE` filter. Supported content types are `playlist`, `channel`, and `video`. More info is available [here](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/126#issuecomment-423823148). I think this is quite an improvement in usability and I hope others find the same.

Recently, users have been reporting 504s when attempting to access their subscriptions, which is tracked in [#173](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/173). This is most likely caused by an uptick in usage, which I am absolutely grateful for, but unfortunately has resulted in an increase in costs for hosting the site, which is why I will be bumping my goal on Patreon from $60 to $80. I would appreciate any feedback on how subscriptions could be improved.

Other minor improvements include:

Hello again! This week I'm happy to mention a couple new features to search as well as some miscellaneous usability improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now constrain your search query to a specific channel with the `channel:CHANNEL` filter (see [#165](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/165) for more details). Unfortunately, other search filters combined with channel search are not yet supported. I hope to add support for them in the coming weeks.

Just today genre channels have been added with [#119](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/119). More information on genre channels is available [here](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2579942). You can subscribe to them as normally, and view them as RSS. I think they offer an interesting alternative way to find new content and I hope people find them useful.

|

Hello everyone! This week I've been working on some smaller features that will hopefully make the site more functional.
|
||||
Search filters have been added with [#126](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/126). You can now specify 'sort', 'date', 'duration', and 'features' within your query using the 'operator:value' syntax. I'd recommend taking a look [here](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/blob/master/src/invidious/search.cr#L33-L114) for a list of supported options and at [#126](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/126) for some examples. This also opens the door for features such as [#30](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/30) which can be implemented as filters. I think advanced search is a major point in which Invidious can improve on YouTube and hope to add more features soon!

I'm happy to announce that a playlists page and API endpoint has been added so you can now view playlists. Currently, you cannot watch playlists through the player, but I hope to add that in the coming week as well as adding functionality to add and modify playlists. There is a good conversation on [#114](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/issues/114) about giving playlists even more functionality, which I think is interesting and would appreciate feedback on.

Hello everyone! This past week there have been quite a few things worthy of mention:
|
||||
|
||||
I'm happy to announce the [Invidious Developer API](https://github.com/omarroth/invidious/wiki/API). The Invidious API does not use any of the official YouTube APIs, and instead crawls the site to provide a JSON interface for other developers to use. It's still under development but is already powering [CloudTube](https://github.com/cloudrac3r/cadencegq). The API currently does not have a quota (compared to YouTube) which I hope to continue thanks to continued support from my Patrons. Hopefully other developers find it useful, and I hope to continue to improve it so it can better serve the community.
