Migrate playlists on the watch page to YouTube.js
Pull Request Type
Description
This pull request migrates the playlists view on the watch page to YouTube.js, this removes the need for the ytpl dependency, as the playlist page was migrated in an earlier PR. Yay! 馃槃
Like the previous implementation this will paginate through the entire playlist, which means the playlist view is slow to load for lots of videos, however the benefits of having all videos there outweigh the wait. In the future we might want to introduce a timeout and then just show the videos that have been fetched up until then.
Testing
playlist with 100 videos, only a single page
