Feature Request: Exclude shorts

[mashed2648]

Shorts currently dominate the subscription section, which is already sort of hard to sift through. Appreciate the work so far!

Thanks for the suggestion! I agree with the need for this feature, Although, this is more of an Invidious feature than a Playlet feature, because if you don't want to see shorts, you'd want that consistently between the two.
It looks like this has been requested many times and is being addressed based on the thread in iv-org/invidious#2585 (although it's a thread from over two years ago)

I'll leave this issue open since I'm not aware of a way to distinguish between a short and a regular video from the Invidious API alone, and also to track the feature

I read through the Invidious thread, and looked into a couple of options for my private instance, but..... the ublock origin hack works on my PCs well enough and I use clipious on mobile with a video filter just to hide any videos under 60 seconds so I'd rather not do the fork recommended by miangraham just to fix this incredibly minor annoyance on playlet.

Now I'm not sure how Clipious is implementing their video filters, and having toyed around with trying to keep my Roku completely offline but still using a few apps I'm well aware of how anti-consumer and just plain annoying their systems can be to work with at times. So I understand if it's just not possible on playlet due to those constraints.

However, have you considered implementing a simple length filter (as stated above, I know nothing is simple on Roku) like Clipious does? I think that would go a long way toward improving the user experience if that data is available through the invidious API.

Of course, regardless, I love the application and you're doing great work. You were my gateway to the wonderful world that is Invidious and I'm loving every minute of hosting my own private instance.
