Problem Description

When a user manually adds a video to a playlist it is expected to be able to see said video inside the playlist. The option to hide premieres from the main feed is an excellent one, but it is counter-intuitive to see a playlist saying it has N videos, but seeing only N-1

Proposed Solution

Show all the videos that were added to a playlist by a user and ignore any settings that would possibly hide those videos

Alternatives Considered

Show the number of hidden videos (and possibly a reason/s) next to the total number of videos in the playlist

Issue Labels

improvement to existing feature

Additional Information

I'm not sure about this, but I vaguely remember possibly encountering a bug that the video would still be hidden in the playlist even after the release, but I'm not 100% sure about that and at the moment I don't know any soon-ish upcoming premieres that would allow me to test this.

The setting applies to all pages. Why would an user not want to see it all over their UI but they do want it in their playlist. That seems counterintuitive to me

The only way to get the video into a playlist is a deliberate user interaction. If a user deliberately interacted with a premiere video despite the option to hide premieres, it is in my opinion self evidently overrides the option. My particular use-case - I got the video link from the other source than my subscriptions feed in Freetube (I'm not subscribed and not planning to). I just wanted it saved for later. I added it to a playlist, but it's confusing it doesn't show up.

Just noticed another point.

The setting applies to all pages.

What you're saying is not entirely correct. I can see premieres added to the playlist if I open any video from the playlist - the hidden ones will be perfectly visible in the side playlist on the watch page despite the "hide premieres" being enabled. I think this is the preferred behaviour and the playlist view page should do the same.

Hi @k0zyrev thanks for providing the additional info. After further review this seems to be a bug. Please open a bug report for it

@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc I'm not sure what exactly you mean as a bug - the fact the videos are hidden in playlist view or the fact that you can see them on the watch page playlist? I can also confirm what I originally mentioned in the additional info - if you add a premiere video to a playlist before it's released, it does not become a normal video after the release and is still being hidden in the playlist. If I remove and then add it back, it behaves as normal.

It is a bug that it isnt showing within your playlist

if you add a premiere video to a playlist before it's released, it does not become a normal video after the release and is still being hidden in the playlist

When you add a video to a playlist, the information that is available on the page you added it from with the information that is available at the time is written to the playlist, after that it is never updated. If it is a premiere when you add it, it will stay a premiere, same with live streams, view counts etc also never change. If you always want the latest data, create your playlists on YouTube.com and copy paste the playlist link into FreeTube every time.
