This issue contains only one bug.
Describe the bug
Have a significantly huge playlist, mine has over 17,000 items
View that playlist
Wait and wait
And...
Click a video from that playlist
Wait and wait and wait (takes as long as loading the playlist to leave the playlist)
And..
Watch a video in that playlist to the end
Wait and wait and wait
Next video plays
Expected Behavior
I've recently switched to a newer snapshot (v3847) and it has the new playlist system. Now my Favorites were converted to a playlist called Favorites. On the older version this single Playlist was displaying instantly, and now with the new system, every single video in the playlist seems to get processed. And I just expect the top most items showing up as fast as they used to. I also often switch between Subscription view and Playlist view and this waiting time just breaks my workflow, distracting me.
What's even worse is that if I want to watch a video by clicking on it from that playlist it again takes this huge amount of time until the Video view is loaded, the entire playlist gets processed again. And when I've finished watching one video loading the next also takes seconds. Making the entire thing the opposite of enjoyable to use.
Of course, I could just create a new Favorites playlist, but eventually I end up with hundreds of playlists. And maybe I want to keep those videos in that playlist so it's easier to find videos I have watched half a year or a year ago.
I wonder if those playlists are saved as a JSON file? Maybe it's time to switch to a database format?
