Steve (ID: 000000c22e3fde67) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 if a playlist has more than 50 videos then forget it, this it a worthless, useless piece of junk. Why anyone puts a limit on amount of vids in a playlist is beyond me. If there were no limit set by this it would be the best going. The fact the author decided to add 50 limit makes it a useless piece of junk i removed withing minutes of trying it out

Louw Coetzer (ID: 00000024ab1bcd66) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/06/2021 One of the most basic features I suppose any person uses is adding/saving videos from the "Suggested Video sidebar" to either new or existing playlists on YouTube. With your plugin, there seems to be NO obvious way to do this simple task at all. You seem to have taken great care not to integrate with the YouTube website itself, most likely to avoid issues each time they update their source code, which is fine - but at the cost of disrupting the workflow veteran YouTube users have already become accustomed to. I find it unacceptable to change my workflow to adopt a "new" plugin which would most likely perish long before YouTube ever does. Your training video is also very vague and I would imagine that when trying to convey the technicalities of a subject, one would do so in a language like English or whatever instead of just pointing all over the screen and playing background music.

God (ID: 00000034efae3947) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/05/2021 This extension is awesome! Please consider adding a simple (then regex later on) keyword filter plus an invert results toggle to the scan page screen! When I scan a channel I have to scroll down then work my way up, find the videos one by one, and add them. A keyword search that hides videos from the list unless they contain said keywords like video part or ca v person on trial and an invert results toggle would make this extension perfect. I would pay money if the scan page results page had regex keyword filter plus an invert sorting toggle.
