Feature description

I would like to see already in the subscription list if a channel released a "premium" video which is visible first for paying channel members but later for the rest of the world. If not easily possible with a countdown, then at least with an icon or colored frame, that I can be aware of this video possibly becoming accessible later for non-members.

Why do you want this feature?

Often I spot an interesting video in my subscription list which I want to share immediately with friends, so I copy its link out of the subscription list entry even before I try to watch it. Unfortunately, NewPipe reports "premium" videos as soon as they are available for paying members of a channel, but before they are available for the rest of the world, without any visual hint. Therefore it sometimes happens that I accidentally share links to "premium" videos among people who are not member of that channel, neither am I myself, so we are disappointed to see an error message instead when we eventually try to watch it.

Additional information

For the time being, I need to get used to trying to open every video I would like to share to check if it is actually available yet.

Adding a filter to remove members-only videos from the feed entirely would also be really appreciated!
It could be another option in this popup:

YouTube inserts members-only videos (i.e., videos that require channel
membership to watch) into the Videos tab. Because the extractor unable
to distinguish between them and "normal" videos, they may appear in
subscriptions feeds.
This enables the extractor to check if videos require membership,
allowing clients to filter them.

There is a visual hint, albeit probably not intended, but it's a difference none the less. A Premium/Members only video won't show the view count under and or next to the thumbnail. Hope this helps, until a less miniscule indicator is added.

YouTube has started to mix members-only videos into the normal videos in
the Videos tab. This filters them, as they cannot be watched without an
account, leading to clutter in the feed.
Requires TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1280.
