Describe the bug

When using Invidious API only up to 200 videos are loaded in channel's playlist. When Local API is used the "Load More Videos" option button pops out.

  1. Use Invidious API - Regardless of the instance used.
  2. Search and choose channel playlist with higher number videos than 200.
  3. Open the playlist and scroll down to the bottom of it. You can reach the bottom with no option to load more videos.

Expected Behavior

  1. Opening the same playlist when using the Local API will allow you to load the full count of videos using the "Load More Videos" option button at the bottom of the list.

Unfortunately we can't add support for fetching more pages of Invidious videos, until it stops being broken on the Invidious side, they return videos from the previous page when you request later pages, so you have no idea when you've actually reached the end of the playlist, as they'll keep responding with videos, for page numbers that don't exist.

I remember last year Invidious had that problem (loading same videos), but browsing all pages of the same playlist using Firefox and the same Invidious instance as in Freetube, works now. That is why I reported the bug. Because I notice that the feature didn't work in the application.
Cheers!
