Track watched embeded videos? #100

I don't know if this is considered an issue, more of a feature request maybe? But is it possible for this extension to pull from embeded videos?

I use https://youtube.videodeck.net & https://playlist.tools from time to time to watch channels/playlists in the correct order, as youtubes playlist experience is garbage. I noticed today that this isn't marking the videos as watched in my youtube history, nor the extension.

Anyway, would this be possible to do? I looked in my history and see embeds also don't show up there, so I am sure this is a stretch, but just in case there is a way to detect it and add it to the extension I thought I would ask.

Anyway thank you for all the years with this extension. Honestly could not live without it.

Seems like Youtube itself doesn't even know that you watched these videos, so the Youtube Watchmarker has no chance of getting that information. What might be the way to go is to have videos show up in your history on Youtube even if you watch them through these third-party websites. The question is, why aren't they in the history on Youtube, maybe some privacy settings? Have you tried looking into that?
