It seems to work, but every couple of minutes it requires re-authorization.

3 stars is criminal, the extension works exactly as advertised. It just might take a bit for it to initially load all your playlists (especially if you're like me, with tens of playlists containing thousands of videos), but afterwards it works fine. And of course, it can take a minute or two to update, but that's because of the YouTube API, not the extension. Of course, it can't get the history before the extension was added, since that kind of information isn't available. But, for videos that are on the playlist, the API *can* access the date it was most recently added. Perhaps the extension could populate the history with that upon first launch? It might not be the full history, but it's the best that could be done.
