  • I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

There's been an ongoing bug where YouTube Music only plays or shuffles about 50 songs from a large playlist and discards the rest

Proposed Solution

a plugin that removes the shuffle limit if possible
I don't know if it's fixable, but I'm guessing that YouTube only fetches the first 50 songs when shuffling, cus the max amount of playlist you can fetch per request is 50 songs according to the YouTube API docs

maxResults unsigned integer
The maxResults parameter specifies the maximum number of items that should be returned in the result set. Acceptable values are 0 to 50, inclusive. The default value is 5.

Alternatives Considered

While researching, I've come across this site

might be helpful?

Workarounds exist for this, but it kinda sucks
Without shuffle, you can play a song and then add the whole playlist to the queue, but when you press the shuffle button, it automatically trims the playlist again.
