I often want to move videos between playlists. I do zumba video and want to move videos from all videos playlist to cooldown or warmup playlist or retired playlist.
Sometimes I want to copy instead of move.
One approach that would work for me is when a video is playing and nothing is in the search results, put the video in the search result so when I change playlist I can add it to the playlist that I want.
A better still solution is a select box that allows you to choose destination, and icons in the playlist that let you copy/move to the selected destination.

I would also like this feature - for example I have a playlist for exploring new music, and after listening to a track a few times it starts to get stale, and I’d like to not delete it but move it into another playlist where I can revisit it later. (archive playlists have distinct advantages over the ‘history’ tab because you can curate the archives, play them on shuffle, etc.)
I guess something like ‘drag & drop video from playlist back into search box’ would be the simplest solution. And ‘drag video over the playlists dropdown, which expands, letting you drop onto a playlist’ would also be nice but probably more complex.
I’m planing to have a playlist manager UI that would make all that possible. For the moment i could add a button that copies the URL of a video into the clipboard. Would that help in your case?

Yes, this would be very helpful!
I think to avoid adding more buttons, you could do the following:
- turn the video title in the playlist into a real link with the
href containing the URL of the video
return false in the click handler to prevent the click from actually navigating away from the current page.
this way you can right click on the link and ‘copy URL’ in your browser.
That’s a nice suggestion. I’ll look into this!
I just released an update that allows you to copy the URL of a playlist item by right clicking on it. Thanks once more for your input and the idea.
