watch later playlist management

Open weldoak opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

PROBLEM:

Youtube removed the one-click delete/trashcan icon from the watch later playlist and replaced it with the kebab menu, making removing videos much more annoying

SOLUTION:

Replace the trash can icon in the watch later playlist (the one that shows while watching videos in particular)

ALTERNATIVES:

Add the one-click icon back to only the main playlist view rather than the one that appears while watching videos

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

I think management of watch later is a pretty significant problem for the likely majority of people that actually use watch later

"SIDE EFFECTS":

It would remove the ability to easily add videos in watch later to other playlists without opening the actual video, but I think that's more of an edge case than simply wanting to remove some videos easily from watch later

CONTEXT: I've tried a bunch of userscripts that give a method to remove a cartain percentage-watched videos from watch later, but this tends to be too aggressive. // Thank you!

same issue with normal playlists: https://github.com/code-for-charity/YouTube-Extension/issues/636

since both playlists use the same list view, I think #THIS can be considered a duplicate of https://github.com/code-for-charity/YouTube-Extension/issues/636
