feat: add no_shorts option for YouTube feeds #176

Closed 3rd closed 1 month ago

This adds a no_shorts option for YouTube feeds. It works by using the default video playlist feed instead of the channel feed. I find it very hard to express how much I hate YouTube shorts.

It would be cleaner to add support to "playlists" along with "channels", so that users could add whatever built-in/custom playlist they wish, but I feel wanting to remove shorts is something so common that it should be handled automatically.

No idea how you figured this out but thanks, this is the silver bullet I've been looking for!

I actually went ahead and inverted the property since I think the shorts being excluded is the desired outcome in the vast majority of cases.
