Contents
Overview
This page will guide you through some of the steps to creating a YouTube Playlist for Live at KDHX videos.
This article assumes some basic familiarity with using Firefox or Chrome, as well as YouTube.
For this process, as with all KDHX.org processes, you must use Firefox or Chrome. DO NOT USE SAFARI.
Setting Up
You will need three tabs in your browser. You will toggle back and forth between these tabs.
- Tab 1: Creating YouTube Playlists for Live at KDHX videos (that's where you are now, reading this)
- Tab 2: http://youtube.com
- Tab 3: http://youtube.com
Log in to the KDHX YouTube account in both Tabs 2 and 3. If you need the password, e-mail roy at kdhx dot org or coco at kdhx dot org
Create Playlist
In Tab 2, hover over the kdhx in the upper right and click on Playlists.
On the left, hover over New and choose Playlist.
Give your playlist a title. It should be in this format: Artist Live at KDHX Month/Day/Year (HD)
Add First Video, Descriptions and Tags
Toggle to Tab 3. Hover over kdhx and select My Videos.
Find one of the videos you want for this playlist and click on the little Edit button.
Select all of the description text and copy it.
Toggle back to Tab 2 and paste that text into the playlist Description field. Change the name of the song to just say: “two songs live” or “three songs live” etc.
Toggle back to Tab 3. Select all of the tags and copy them.
Toggle back to Tab 2 and paste the tags in to the Tag field.
Keep Privacy settings as Public and click Save Changes.
Add More Videos
Now in this same Tab, hover over kdhx again and select My Videos.
Find all the videos you want, click the box next to the left of each, and then hover over Add To, choose Playlist and check the Playlist you just created and click Add to Playlist.
That's all there is to it. You'll get a confirmation like the one below this sentence.
If you want to view your Playlist now, just click on Playlists on the left, click the one you want, and copy the URL and paste it into a browser window.
Remember to log out of YouTube when you are finished.
