Splitting YoutubeBridge

[em92]

At the moment, if you visit some youtube profile you will be able to see at least these tabs.

• Videos
• Playlists
• Broadcasts. Includes current, past broadcasts and future broadcasts
• Shorts
• Community. Bridge for this tab already exists which is maintained by @VerifiedJoseph

In current implementation, YoutubeBridge is expected to return latest videos from all tabs. At the moment of writing if we are not using duration_min/max params it does like expected [1]. If not, YoutubeBridge returns videos from "Videos" tab [2]. In given link am using very big number, that will include probably any video. Using profile, that posts mostly shorts and has only 2 videos in "Videos" tab.

As conclusion I would like to do this:

• make bridges "YouTubeVideosTab", "YouTubePlaylistsTab", "YouTubeBroadcastsTab" and "YoutubeShortsTab" to output corresponding tabs. All bridges will have common code. "YoutubeShortsTab" won't have "duration_min/max" params, since all videos are short. YoutubeBroadcastsTab will also have option to exclude future and current broadcasts.
• current "YoutubeBridge" will continue to return latest videos from channel. Feed in [2] should be consider as a bug in YoutubeBridge, and expected behavior in YouTubeVideosTabBridge.
• "Playlist" option in YoutubeBridge should be hidden. YouTubePlaylistsTab and "Playlist" option in Youtube bridge should have same code. In short both should work. I am not sure if hiding context is available in current implementation of RSS-Bridge.

Opinions?

I'd prefer to have a single bridge for all the youtube variants. If it makes it easier to code and maintain, sure go ahead and split out into multiple bridges. I don't use the youtube bridge much though. Need opinions from others.

I see it just as a checkboxes in UI for each type of content. I want to paste youtube link, and expect rss bridge to offer me relevant checkboxes: videos, clips, live streams #3216, playlists, whatever it can fetch from given link, and then i can select what exactly i need.

As an and user i dont need separate bridge for each category, it is inconvenient

@vtuu, I already mentioned, that every tab should have different checkboxes.

"YoutubeShortsTab" won't have "duration_min/max" params, since all videos are short. YoutubeBroadcastsTab will also have option to exclude future and current broadcasts

btw i have refactored and improve the youtube bridge
