Problem Description

My history is sometimes filled with many videos (per day) and I would like to have a better overview.

Proposed Solution

One idea is to have settings to "summarize" certain videos into one "entry/playlist".
For example videos from the same youtube playlist could be summarized in one entry.

Like this:

Video xy 6 (including more videos from the same playlist, video xy 6 would be the newest one watched of course) - video b (video from different or no playlist) - video c - video d etc.

When you clock on "show more" (right next or under that entry) then all watched video from that playlist are shown (at best inside the history page, not on a seperate page; but this is a question of taste).

There could also be other options, like videos from the same Artist, Channel etc., but this might be a bit too much.

Alternatives Considered

I'm not really understanding this description. Could you add some type of visual and/or paint a clearer picture of the described feature?

Well instead of having each entry of the same playlist in the history, (e.g. video 6, v 5, v 4, v3 etc. ), you have only one entry, a playlist entry so to speak (e.g. video 6 (and show more)).

Show more then shows you the other videos of that playlist or channel or whatever the definition would be.

I would need some time to edit a screenshot to show it in "action", if necessary to illustrate.

This is unfortunately too niche of an usecase to make such large changes. We should more look into #4737 and how to implement that the best.
