Video time filters do not work

Hi, thanks for creating the function!
I am trying to crawl a list of channels for all the videos posted on these channels after 2024-02-01.
What I did was to supplement the actor with a text file containing lines of video page links on these channels. See below for an example.
"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV4UK9LNNLViFP4qZA_Wmfw/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9FkeEFIGd9FXRfxpTltXYA/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4YUKOBld2PoOLzk0YZ80lw/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFMzb-4AUf6WAIbl132QKA/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0intLFzLaudFG-xAvUEO-A/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPAiS32go3-GwTO0kmlVX7g/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTBrTjegOyxeKUGcJfjr6cg/videos"
Then I filter the videos by "OnlyVideosNewerThan": "2024-02-01".
However, I still get videos posted years ago in the run results.

Hi, thanks again for your patience. The filtering has been fixed. As per the updated filtering section description in the input, to keep the scraper fast it's approximate and not supported for shorts
Date filtering works approximately, based on the date labels like "2 months ago" under video thumbnails (also, it doesn't work for shorts). For example, if you choose to scrape posts that are newer than 40 days old, you get all videos up to "1 month ago", but not "2 months ago".
if you want exact filtering and/or filter shorts, check out https://apify.com/streamers/youtube-scraper
