I'm trying to sync a playlist that has a lot of duplicates (both in terms of content and video titles). I can't create my own individual playlist due to restrictions on "made for kids" content https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9632097?nohelpkit=1&hl=en

I'm trying to only download 26 videos from the following playlist but instead I end up with 60+.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWpRwPF7WwnmDg5p5r4hAkm09duc8DaPN
Using the following Filter text \| HD \| Full Episode
No reindexing as this is a season of episodes and therefore there won't be new content in that particular playlist (Season 2 is in another playlist).

For example, the following title appears twice in the playlist: "The Land Before Time 112 | The Days of Rising Waters | HD | Full Episode"

The only way to exclude the duplicates in TubeSync would be to manually skip the unwanted files via the following steps:

  1. Click on Sources
  2. Select source
  3. View Media Linked To This Source
  4. Select unwanted media (could be tricky as titles are truncated so they all look the same)
  5. Scroll down to the bottom
  6. Click on Delete and Skip Media
  7. Mouse cursor is now at the bottom of your screen so move it up to the button
  8. Click on Really Delete and skip media button
  9. At the media page, use the Source link to go back to the list of media (under the thumbnail)

Steps 7/8 could be eliminated if you strategically reduce window size so that the "Delete and Skip Media" and "Really Delete and skip media" buttons end up in the same place but then that would necessitate you having to scroll down past the thumbnail in Step 9 to find the Source Link.

Is there an easier way to get only the videos I want without manual exclusions?

I've suggested some features that might help with the above scenario #509
For example, I could exclude duplicates if I was allowed to inject a custom function that was passed the details of the current video's metadata and the list of completed videos in the source so far. Or be allowed to declare a list of titles, video IDs, or in the case of palylists, sequence numbers.
