hi. i was wondering if this still works? i placed the target playlist ID on column A while i placed the source playlist IDs on columns G and H. i also tried just using 1 source playlist ID on column G (see attached).

playlist

i own the target playlist and tried changing it to unlisted and public. i also tried a blank playlist and with a single video.

the source playlists are all public which contains music videos.

this is the debug log: Row: 4 Acquired 0 videos Filtering finished, left with 0 videos No new videos yet.

The first run just sets the timestamp. After that, it adds everything new. If you want to copy the entire playlist, manually set the timestamp for that column to 100 years ago or whatever. But you may run into rate limits, in that case you should check when the last added video was published, set the timestamp to just before that and try again tomorrow.

the solution worked perfectly! could you consider adding a feature to prevent duplicates and automatically remove videos no longer present in the source playlist from the target playlist? this would ensure that the target playlist always reflects the latest content from the source. thank you!

That feature actually already existed on YouTube, but for some reason they removed it from the regular website completely and only left a part of it on "YouTube music". Here are instructions how to do it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69869011/6743127
