YouTube playlist addition date not always reliable #808

Description

Some YouTube channels recreate their playlist on each new episode release, causing all the playlist items' publishedAt to always be identical and more recent than the publication date, breaking the playlist order.

Potentially a feature request to force the use of playlist or publication date:

// Parse date added to playlist / publication date
dateStr := ""
playlistItem, ok := playlist[video.Id]
if ok && playlistItem.PublishedAt > snippet.PublishedAt {
// Use playlist item publish date if it's more recent
dateStr = playlistItem.PublishedAt
} else {
dateStr = snippet.PublishedAt
}
