2. Open LibreTube and navigate to the playlist import option.
3. Select the text file and confirm the import.

We exported using https://youtu.be/watch?v=... links, it however should've been https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=....

Thus it now works when you re-export the playlist and try it again.

am unable to restore my playlist via txt file.

likely same cause as #5928

I tested it successfully with very small playlists.

However, the general JSON backup works flawlessly. It could back up and restore all my playlists. I have four playlists that contain 1100+ songs.

Your playlist works fine for me, #6865 allows you to see the progress of the import directly by refreshing the library page.

Just to let you know, it's working partially, but not fully. The import isn't completing, and I'm not sure what the issue is. That said, it's okay—not everyone has large playlists. The normal backup works great for me, and the export as TXT option is very convenient.

If you plan to address the issue, here's the description: as explained, the process can be seen progressing when refreshed, but it stops at a certain point. Sometimes it gets stuck at 300, other times at 450, and occasionally at 120.
