Force scrobble for excluded Youtube video categories
Expected behavior
Instead of having youtube videos not being scrobbled at all if they're in a different category than Music or Entertainment there should be an optional button to force scrobbling for the currently playing video. Which would then whitelist that video so that you don't have to force scrobbling every time, similar to the edited tracks feature.
Current behavior
Videos in excluded categories are cast into the shadow realm, never to be scrobbled again. There are a lot of songs that are uploaded by negligent people who put the videos in the wrong categories.
Context
I would also rather not have the Entertainment category scrobbled because, like most people, I use Youtube for more than just music and so I don't want to scrobble a bunch of random youtube videos to my last.fm account obviously lol
How would this work? have some ability from the menu bar to force a scrobble?

yes, exactly. my idea was basically like this:
I'd very much like the ability to force scrobbling for specific youtube videos. I run into the scenario that OP wrote up all the time, where a music video has clearly been placed into the wrong category.
Same here. example definitely soundtrack. But it's Gaming category. There's no option to allow scrobble from gaming side-by-side with music category filter and forbid others. Should i start separate issue?
The possible solution is to mark excluded videos as skipped (we already do this for podcasts), and implement a feature to continue ("unskip") skipped songs.
This requires some reorganizations in core and content scripts.
I'd also really like this feature. I've encountered quite a few official music videos that have been poorly categorised and thus don't scrobble.
Scrobbling everything I watch on YouTube (and then manually deleting the non-music) is a very clunky solution.

I couldn't agree more with this!
