Local database of playlist videos

[Svk1190]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Users often create playlists of videos, but problem arises when any video in the playlist gets deleted or made private. It is very hard to find the title of the deleted video so that user can search an alternate video with a similar name.

Describe the solution you'd like Suggestion 1: VueTube can keep a local database where details of all videos in user playlists would remain stored. This database can store the title, the URL and the description of listed videos, as well as likes/dislikes/comments made by the user. The playlist database would be updated from time to time. When a playlist item is deleted or made private, then the local database is used to show the title and description of the deleted video.

Suggestion 2: Suppose that some videos in user playlist had been previously deleted (say in 2021), and VueTube does not have a local database containing the video details. Then VueTube can use a service such as Filmot Title Restorer (UserScript, GitHub) to show the title of the deleted video.

Describe alternatives you've considered I use Google Take Out on a periodic basis to keep a record of videos in my playlist. But this is cumbersome.

Additional context This would help the user to know which video got removed from playlist, and would be helpful for finding alternate versions of the removed video.

this is actually pretty neat. I'll look into how to implement this!
