YouTube Help Doubled (and recently even quadrupled) videos in playlists

[Niki Proshin]

I add to relevant playlists all of my latest videos, and just recently found out that my playlists had two copies of the same video. Moreover, my yesterday's upload got into a playlist FOUR! times. Anyone else had such issue before?

Hi @Niki Proshin

Well, it's a list so there is nothing that says videos should be unique. So if you add a video multiple times to a list it will appear multiple times. In this case, it might be a glitch when saving or something like that.

Hope this helps

Best regards
Daniel

It is a real issue, I have the same problem, many times I am posting one video and it appears twice in my playlist, I am trying to delete one as soon as possible, try to keep an eye on your playlist after posting another video, I hope this helps

I didn't even know this could happen now I'll have to take a look at my playlists!

Thanks for letting the community know!

This is an issue I've seen on other people's playlists, but I never paid too much attention to it

I didn't even know it was an issue but I haven't been paying any attention the last two or so weeks on youtube. How long has this been happening?

So, the first time I saw it a few weeks ago, and looks like this happens only when I added videos into playlists using my phone. I added latest video into a playlist using my computer, and there were no doubles. Will try to catch the bug again with my new video

I also had this issue. Removing the video entirely and adding it back seemed to work and fix it for me.

I have, but sometimes it doesn't matter BECAUSE not every user will watch every playlist, and sometimes it makes sense for two playlists to have the same video. IF you're saying you added the same video 4 times, than no I can't say I've had that haha

It's driving me insane!

Have you guys reported this to YouTube?

Not yet, I don't have this problem with my most recent videos. Perhaps will do that if it appears again

just avoid phone to do it or don't make a list yet
