Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked YouTube playlist behavior in FreeTube v0.25.0-nightly-7518: play entry 4 and observe whether playback advances to duplicate entry 5. Compare this with the same sequence in a Local Playlist; done means the next duplicate video plays after the current video ends.
