Feature description

On a youtube channel's "Playlist" view, if a playlist is selected with a long press a menu should appear (akin to the long press on a single video). On that menu, a "Mark all as watched" item appears that when pushed iterates the list of videos in the playlist and mark all as watched.

Why do you want this feature?

I often have watched long playlists of videos in the official youtube app, and want to also mark them as watched in NewPipe. Right now if I want to mark them all, I have to open the playlist and mark each video manually, which takes forever on playlists with 100+ videos.

I don't get the purpose. If you've already watched them all, you can ignore the playlist and move on to newer ones.

The channel of interest has thousands up on thousands of videos. I don't remember which videos I've seen and which ones I haven't.

Ah, so you basically want to be able to scroll through the channel and view unwatched videos only, but for that you intend to use a bulk marking action by eliminating known watched playlists.

... I don't know, that seems like an overly specific use case to me.

That's my use case. Perhaps that is overly specific. Hard to know if other people want this. Is it difficult to add? I assumed it would be approximately "copy this code from the long-press video to long-press playlist". Maybe I'm mistaken, I don't know the codebase.
