Application logic of **Tube Archivist** is tied only to the IDs, not the names.

!!! warning "ID length matters"
|
||||
When deciding if an ID is a video, playlist or a channel the length of the ID is key. Other lengths of IDs as documented here are explicitly **not** supported.
|

## Video

A video ID is **11** characters long, e.g. `2tdiKTSdE9Y`.

### Old Playlists
|
||||
Some old Youtube profiles will have playlists with other lengths that here, notably some old accounts have a "Favorites" playlist, the ID starts with `FL`. Unfortunatly these Playlist IDs are 24 characters long. That collides with the length of channel IDs. As established above, these playlists are not supported.
|
||||
|
||||
### Playlist vs Video URLs
|
||||
While browsing YouTube videos in Playlists, you might encounter URLs looking like this: `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPZ0pIK_wsc&list=PL96C35uN7xGLLeET0dOWaKHkAlPsrkcha`. As established above, based on the */watch* path and the *v* parameter, **Tube Archivist** will treat this as a video with the ID `QPZ0pIK_wsc` and **not** as a playlist. If you mean the playlist, you can easily grab the correct ID from the URL, e.g. `PL96C35uN7xGLLeET0dOWaKHkAlPsrkcha`.
