Watch History does not show titles of Videos

Watch history does not show titles of videos. Also, it would be nice if it would automatically open the spot you were at before or а continue watching feature

Thanks for reporting (and thanks for using the Canary version!)
As of right now, the Watch history not showing titles of videos is intentional. In fact it shows nothing except the thumbnails (no title, author, length, view count, etc).
This is because the watch history is stored in Invidious as video IDs only in the database - we don't cache all the other details.
From the ID, getting the image is fast and doesn't require extra network calls or database queries.
So overall this is an optimization to avoid making too many requests. In fact, this behaviour matches Invidious as well (it only shows the image).
I will evaluate if we can load the first 4-5 videos (each will require a network call to Invidious) and then load more as you scroll. If this turns out to be inefficient, then it will can remain without titles.

As for the the spot you were at before or а continue watching feature - this is still in the works, as per #138 (there will be a little red progress bar under each video, a new "Continue watching" section, etc)

Although implemented in #524, I notice that the watch history info does not always load.
Will need to be investigated further

After some investigation, the feature MOSTLY works, and usually doesn't when the watch history page has some private/deleted videos.

I'll assume this MOSTLY works for now, until there are new findings.
