shorts detection and filtering

[jdwit]

Automatically detect Shorts (vertical, ≤60s) and expose as a filter across commands.

Use case: Channel managers often need to treat Shorts differently from long-form content (different analytics, different metadata strategy).

Proposed behavior:

• ytstudio videos list --shorts — list only Shorts
• ytstudio videos list --no-shorts — exclude Shorts
• ytstudio analytics overview --shorts — analytics scoped to Shorts
• Detection logic: duration ≤ 60s + vertical aspect ratio (if available via API), fallback to duration only

Why: YouTube Studio separates Shorts analytics but the API doesn't. This gives CLI users the same capability.

Interesting idea; did you check if the YouTube Data API includes this as a property in its metadata already? Would be much simpler. I can imagine there is someting like "shorts": true.

Good call. The YouTube Data API doesn't have a shorts property on the video resource. However, the Analytics API does expose a creatorContentType dimension with values like SHORTS, LIVE_STREAM, and VIDEO_ON_DEMAND.

Since we already use the Analytics API, we can query this dimension to classify videos. This is more reliable than heuristics (duration + aspect ratio).

Approach:

GET /youtube/analytics/v2/reports?dimensions=video,creatorContentType&metrics=views&...

This returns the content type per video. We cache this alongside video metadata and expose it as a filter flag.
