In subscriptions, shorts are length == 0. Hiding videos under 1 minute will hide legitimate videos too. I think this should be a filter for search, but subscriptions length_seconds != 0 is sufficient.

There is a side effect of not just shorts being hidden but also livestreams since they appear as 0 as well.

I pulled your branch, compiled everything under docker-compose.yml and I see the option in the Settings menu

I activate the option, and then click on "Save preferences"

I see the payload being submitted, but I still see shorts on my feed

When I came back to the Settings page I still see the option unchecked

Is this ready for merge or am I missing something?
