What feature do you want?

Add a filter in "Settings -> Content " with title "Include YouTube Shorts" with description "Turn off to hide YouTube shorts". (Lets say one can place this option after Load Thumbnails.

Why do you want this feature?

1. Subscribe to a channel
2. Go to Hamburger menu -> Subscriptions -> Open the channel

Some channels are just having too many "shorts", and the user can avoid it.

Note that this feature is NOT connected to "Whats New" option. In the list of Whats New, YouTube shorts vides DO NOT appear

A filter to hide shorts is becoming an essential feature

More and more channels are having too many shorts, very irritating

How to see shorts? Is there any exclusive button for shorts in NP?

[Magneticdud]

Shorts are just YouTube videos, at the moment if you see a video that's missing the duration in the thumbnail, it's a short (and so i can know that i don't want to watch it)

If instead you want the algorithmically chosen TikTok clone shorts playlists, you need to use the official client, as otherwise without user profilation YouTube doesn't have a way to decide what you will like

[atul1503]

Can channel groups be configured to only show shorts from the channels which are part of it?

[Magneticdud]

At the moment it's not possible. The purpose of this proposal is to hide shorts from the channels, though, not to make them prominent

I don't know much about the specs behind shorts, but I imagine one way to do it would be to filter by aspect ratio.

Another good place to be able to hide shorts is the "What's New" feed. They take up a lot of space there.

I second all of the above. Users who find shorts a waste of bandwidth and brain cells should he able to filter them out of search results and the "What's new" feed.

Incorrect. Maybe back in January but nowadays YouTube Shorts indeed do appear on the What's New tab.

What about having multiple subscription lists, where one is automatically created for shorts? Then you would choose which subscription lists are to show up on what's new.

[Eiion]

"Subscription lists"? Seems like a way of overcomplicating things when a simple filter can just "hide" the things that you don't want to see.
I guess if you only want shorts you could do the same the other way around by filtering everything that's a Norman videos. But since New Pipe is a tool created to watch videos from multiple platforms in one, not short-form content, I'm not sure if that is something that even fits the description. Because then you could also argue why not also include Facebook/Instagram/snapchat/tiktok stories as well if we make shorts a separately available thing.

For channel feed, this feature should be added by #9182

For subscription feeds, this could be discussed with #8069

The only remaining places are search results and related videos. But most videos there are not relevant to most users anyway.
