No Longer works. "Invalid Playlist"

"Invalid playlist"
by Google User Google User, 2022-08-31

It's really good but I really miss a feature. It would be cool to be able to search based on the name of the uploader too. Also would be useful to display the name of the uploader maybe in brackets in the end. Regex search would be really cool too but that's not that important, however searching by uploaders would be a really really useful feature.
