What feature do you want?

Above the Import Database button, there would be an Import As Playlist button, which accepts a CSV (or Newline-separated) plain text file containing URLs to videos, shows a dialog to name the playlist, and from the file, creates it.

In the three-dots menu of already existent playlists, an "Import From Text" button would be present, which adds the videos from the file to the end of the playlist.

It's the opposite of #1788.

Why do you want this feature?

I can create playlists via Add To under a video, which is good, but that only works for singular videos, not for multiple ones, assuming you have them at hand.

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/7355 partially solves the issue.

@litetex I don't think that this issue is required to stay open as https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/7205 already asks for anonymous playlists which will fully solve this issue.

@SameenAhnaf Thank you for the issue-de-duplications. However the idea of this issue sounds interesting and I don't think that any of the mentioned issues overlaps this one.

Can confirm that #7205 would not be a complete solution, as the anonymous playlists feature is limited to 50 videos iirc.
