    This is a tricky one as it’s a limitation with using YouTube embeds. I enabled third-party cookies in my browser and it’s still not working.

    I think one thing I can do is add local tracking of videos watched. Then, when you import data, it skips the ones you watched.

    I’m still thinking and testing.

      I get why this should be a feature, but I actually like that what I watch does not go into my YT history (in case I want to watch randomly something that I don’t want integrated into my recommendations algorithm). If/when you get it working, please consider having a way to disable it in the options.

      Thank you for your work.

        Personally, I feel the same. I hope a good middle ground is to track what you watch locally in the browser, then make the imports not reimport what you previously watched.
