Problem with a created Playlist (Error Report / Feature Request to prevent Error in future Builds)

Open 1992ff opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello Dev-Team, I want to report a problem I came into contact with today. I am on the latest beta and I use a Fire TV stick as my device.

Today I encountered a problem, that didn't allow me to add new videos to my main playlist, which I use in order to bookmark videos I want to watch later.

Anyway, I couldn't add another video, before actually deleting another video in the playlist, so that I assume, I might have hit a maximum video cap that YouTube has set.

In order to solve this issue, I created a new playlist with the same name as my other playlist, because I assumed there wouldn't be an issue - I was wrong. The second playlist as a menu option to add videos to, with the same name is only shown inside SmartTubeNext. Inside the playlist section, this second list isn't shown. In order to delete it, I logged into the YouTube account from a PC in order to delete the second list, but it wasn't anywhere to be seen. Any idea how to get rid of the second playlist which is invisible, without harming my other playlist? Traces of the existence of the second playlist can only be found under: Video / Context Menu / Add Video to Playlist / List of my Playlists

The original problem I had, to not be able to add videos to the playlist before deleting was solved by me, through the creation of a third playlist: "Original Playlist Name 2"

With regards to future updates, you should make a restriction and don't allow for 2 playlists of the same name, in order to spare other users from this problem. Thank you!

Have a nice weekend! Frank

EDIT: I forgot to mention, that I tried to rename "Original Playlist Name" in the context menu of S Tube, but when I press on rename, nothing happens and the renaming menu + keyboard doesn't appear. I assume the application is confused, because "Original Playlist Name" exists twice. I also considered renaming it on PC inside the official YouTube interface. However, I decided against it, because inside the YouTube interface, it says that my playlist "Original Playlist Name", with at least a few hundred videos only consists of 2 videos. S Tube shows all of them - YouTube doesn't, which is kind of weird...

Smarttube won't update my watch later playlist to match with one on my pc. I have signed in to same account in both devices and first it worked fine but now when i've added more videos into my watch later-playlist on my pc, smarttube on my phone won't update the list.
