🛠 Features-
✅ Add a new video
✅ View all saved videos
✅ Search for a video
✅ Update video details
✅ Delete a video
✅ Sort videos by name or duration
✅ Data stored in a tasks.txt file (JSON format)

📁 File Structure-
├── youtube_manager.py # Main Python script
├── tasks.txt # JSON file storing video data (auto-created)

YOUTUBE MANAGER 💼🚀

1. List all YouTube Videos
2. Add a YouTube Video
3. Search YouTube Video details
4. Update a YouTube Video details
5. Delete a YouTube Video
6. Check status (Sort)

No external dependencies. Just Python 3+.

📌 Notes
Video durations must be entered in HH:MM format.
The app automatically saves changes to tasks.txt.
