Problem Description
There is atm no way of knowing
- If you have saved the video
- In what playlists they are saved to
- How many times it is in the list u are adding it to
Hover over thumbnail doenst give u any info and the add to playlist prompt also doesnt give u any info about this. Im not saying it should be presented at those places but it would make the most sense to me because in those views users will be in when they are about to add a video.
Proposed Solution
TBH i have know idea what a possible implementation looks like. Maybe somebody else can chime in on this.
Alternatives Considered
None.

Additional Information
Not sure if we have to address this before v1
IMHO the "old" star symbol was already quite perfect.
As I outlined in #65 a double-click on the star symbol could open a menu so you could add a video to a second playlist etc.
This menu could then include seperate star symbols, that indicate in which playlists the video is already included.
Additionally a small field below the star symbol (on the video page) could indicate in how many or in what playlists the video is already included.
Or it could open a small field that shows this info, so it is more hidden.
Star icon is back so FreeTubeApp#4561 fully closes this
@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc I disagree a bit, because:
AFAIK
- The star icon is only activated if it was used to add a video to the "standard" playlist.
- FreeTubeApp#4561 only adds indicators to the "add-menu" not the regular view on the video page, the overview pages etc.
My idea would have been that:
a) the star symbole indicates whether a video was already added to any playlist (on every relevant page: video, playlists, subscriptions etc.).
b) additional info would be shown (or expandable) in which playlists the video already exits (on every relevant page).
A) This isnt how the star symbol is intended to be used. It is intended to be used to be the same as YT's solution so this isnt going to be changed.
B) It doesnt make sense to add it in every other page because the only time you need that info is when you are going to add it to a playlist

Ok, I of course respect your design choice, but I would 1) not always do everything the same way youtube does, 2) Rethink whether the symbols really make sense this way.
But anyway, a seperate symbole would then be my second proposal.

I disagree, because UX wise, it takes you longer to identify in which playlists a video is included, as you have to open the "add-menu" first.
To maintain a reasonable size etc., it would be useful to at least show the name of the first playlist that a video was added to.
