This playlist currently has no videos.
But it says the same on all the playlists I have tried so far.
Is It Just Me Or Everyone?
PS. Copying the YT link works.
Nope working as expected here
do you have RSS feeds on?
edit:ok I did a search and yes I get the same thing there as you. sorry for the confusion I thought you were talking about subscriptions at first.
for what its worth I checked it out on grayjay and playlist showup and play fine there. Not any help with freetube but an alternative.

Thanks @thefrog for testing and looking into it! I appreciate it.
Yes, grayjay seems to be working everytime and everywhere FreeTube fails. I tried it once for a short while back when it still was in Beta if memory serves me right. Both on Android and on Lnux.
I recall that I got the impression that the UI was a bit cluttered/convoluted of a sort. I may give it a try again later on.
For now, I actually should be heading to FTâs Github to see if there is any issue report on this one. I donât have an account there myself but I suppose people discover these stuff much sooner than I do

youtube-dlp appears to be broken at the moment. At least the last time I tried I was getting 403âs. Since that is usually the backend for all of these youtube frontends. That may be the issue.
can confirm, as @thefrog did, that yt-dlp is working normally. I think Iâd be more upset if that broke than freetube
Donât have any playlists in FT so canât confirm that.

If you search for Dire Straits full album for example, then you will see a few playlists for the songs on their albums. Clicking one of them should bring up the playlist but instead it says:
This playlist currently has no videos.
whereâs the playlist?
I did go to town once in the /settings tab and customized the snot out of it so I donât know

Top row, the second from left.
you have to click one of the play list videos. Maybe try the first kinks on the second row

can confirm now.
**PSâI always thought of those as âwhole albumsâ not âplaylistsâ. now I know
EDIT, PSS: those sneaky bastar**

They broke an app (kind of FT but for YT Music) on Android too for me so I am doubly pi**ed.

And there is this. Similar to the issue in op:
opened 05:45PM - 10 Jun 26 UTC
bug
B: feature stopped working
B: inconsistent behavior
### Guidelines
- [x] I have encountered this bug in the [latest release of Free⌠Tube](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/releases).
- [x] I have encountered this bug in the [official downloads of FreeTube](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube#official-downloads). **The only official downloads are from the [https://freetubeapp.io](https://freetubeapp.io/#download) website, the [FreeTubeApp/FreeTube GitHub repository](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/releases) and the [io.freetubeapp.FreeTube flatpak](https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.freetubeapp.FreeTube) from Flathub.**
- [x] I have [searched the issue tracker for **open and closed** issues](https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues?q=is%3Aissue+sort%3Arelevance-desc) that are similar to the bug report I want to file, without success.
- [x] I have searched the [documentation](https://docs.freetubeapp.io/) for information that matches the description of the bug I want to file, without success.
- [x] This issue contains only one bug.
- [x] I have read and agree to follow the [rules](https://docs.freetubeapp.io/community/rules/).
### Describe the bug
Opening a playlist, especially one with more than 100 videos in it, will either:
1. Fail to load the playlist entirely with an error in the console (if the playlist is accessed directly).
2. The playlist will only load the first 100 videos with no errors in the console.
3. The playlist will only load the first 200 videos, also without any errors in the console.
4. Only via video pages - the playlist shows 0/0 videos, with no errors in console.
This happens irrespective of how said playlist is accessed (directly, or through a video page), and occurs on both the latest Beta release (the one with the Subscription/Channel page fixes), and latest nightly.
### Expected Behavior
The playlist would list all videos contained within it, loaded 100 at a time, when scrolling, or listed all at once if accessed through a video page.
### Issue Labels
feature stopped working, inconsistent behavior

@thefrog @drunkenvicar Thanks for confirming. I figured out my issue since I continued to get 403âs after trying again. Even used a vpn to change ip to see if that would help, but no dice. However, I saw that whenever yt-dlp solves the javascript challenge it creates a cookies.txt file in the yt-dlp config directory. I deleted that file and tried again and now it is back to working.
may not be what you want however if you copy the youtube for the play list yt-dlp can still download the list locally and play from local device. I know its not as ideal as just firing up FT and hitting play but its another option for you.

Thatâs true!
Tried with MPV before copying URL to a playlist and I could play it there.
Man.. I didnât see this one, but I had many other issues with FreeTube. Not sure why but for the last few months, FreeTube has been really inconsistent and really⌠bad. Itâs gone so bad that I simply decided to pay for YouTube Premium and move on. Not worth fighting it anymore, especially when a large part of my entertainment is exclusively on YouTube.
Funky. Grayjay currently has the same problem, I canât see any videos in any playlist.
Yeah looks like Youtube has changed something else. GrayJay was working last night but now it doesnât.
two weeks later all playlists are still stripped out of Freetube. Same with Grayjay?
three weeks total now, the FT people usually have it figured out by nowâŚ
