Additional Notes

This seems to be only happening with "learning playlists".
The comma placement has nothing wrong with it, it is just following the Indian Numbering System.

Looks like YouTube somehow doesn't transmit the video count:

vs

This causes the extractor to fail: It selects the view count instead.

However it works in the mobile version:

@litetex cant the playlist's classic mode be inspected to see if the playlist number is exposed there?? if it is, then maybe the element can be searched in the current mode of yt desktop as well.

i dont remember what the link is to force the classic mode, so, couldnt test this idea further
