Feature description

Please add an option to hide completely watched videos from the History page. The toggle button should be on the top bar so I can revert when I want to.

Why do you want this feature?

As I start a video and stop it immediately to keep it in the history to watch later, it becomes difficult to track them amidst completely watched videos. I know I could add it to a playlist, the videos I watch are generally related to previous video I watched and I need to know which one I watched earlier before playing a new video

Research direction
Implement a toggle button in the History screen's toolbar to filter out fully watched videos. Examine the HistoryFragment to understand how the list is populated and filtered. Look into the database schema for the 'watch progress' or similar column to determine if a video is fully watched. Check for existing UI patterns like filtering in other lists within the app.
