Problem Description

Importing Playlists from YT is not possible. Now that Local Playlist support has released we can start to implement this.

Proposed Solution

The ability to import the Playlist file provided by YouTube into FreeTube

Also what we need from the exported YT playlist file to test cases like:

  • videos that are set to private in that playlist
  • videos that dont exist anymore
  • shorts and previously streamed live videos
  • Currently live videos (not sure if YT allows u to save that to a playlist)
  • Upcoming videos or upcoming live videos (not sure if YT allows u to save that to a playlist)

Alternatives Considered

None.

The YT playlist export is a list of CSV files

Example (header text depends on user language I guess, maybe it can be forced via hl=en) Headers: video ID, timestamp for video added to playlist time

影片 ID,播放清單影片的建立時間戳記

Update 1: Confirmed that https://takeout.google.com/?hl=en&pli=1 will export file with header text in en

Video ID,Playlist Video Creation Timestamp

Would it be possible to append to this feature. The ability to save the URL of the playlist in which the playlist comes from.

And the ability to re-sync again, like for example there is a new button to sync things up with the remote playlist so that once you have click the button it would fetch any new items from that youtube playlist
