- Channel subscriptions worked fine but as others have noted, playlists are recognised but don't seem to load at all. When you hover over "choose folder" after choosing, it will show the list of playlists, but nothing happens.

- Took an hour or so to move over all of my subscriptions and playlists, but still SO much faster (and less painful) than doing it manually. This was exactly what I was looking for!

- it would be nice after selecting subscriptions and it doing its work it shows the progress bar

- Subscriptions worked fine with no issues. Playlists doesn't look to want to work correctly at the moment? When try to select the folder when using the extension, I select the playlists folder and it has the -videos.csv files, but it isn't seeing any of them? Maybe something odd with Windows 11 or just some parsing issues I assume with looking for the correct files to pull. If dev reaches out, I'll provide more info and test out any changes if needed.

- It keeps subscribing me to the second channels of most of my subscriptions (from thelower part of the channel's central page where other channels of the same person/company appear), that is, e.g. instead of subscribing me to WhatCulture, it subscribed me to WhatCulture Wrestling. Instead of subscribing me to penguinz0 it subscribed me to Moist Charlie Clips etc.

- I read your message about the playlists. I did Google Takeout from the start and deselected everything in the YouTube choices, except for subscriptions and playlists. The playlists folder has the files that you said, except they don't have -videos.csv The playlists are named like this: Seinfeld videos.csv Do I have to go into every filename and add the hyphen, for it to work? Thanks for any help. Edit: I tested out a folder (new folder), with 3 playlists in it. Back to the Future -videos.csv Stardew Valley -videos.csv stern holidays -videos.csv It started going through all of the videos in the Back to the Future playlist and adding a new playlist for every video. Am I still doing it wrong?
