But then PeskyPotato, who I’ve never interacted with before got in touch and mentioned that it should be possible to subscribe to RSS feeds from Youtube with the channel name in the URL as well. Turns out that this is not the case, it was a feature of their RSS reader instead.
But here comes the amazing part. Apparently this annoyed them enough so they figured out that you could get the channel ID from yt-dlp, and then they coded a webtool that does it for you!
Have a look, here’s the explanation how it works and here’s the webtool. Just enter the URL of the Youtube channel and you get the RSS feed URL back.
I’ve been using Listenbox lately, but the video resolution has been awfully over the past few months. I suspect YouTube made some changes on their end and the developers at Listenbox are having trouble getting access to higher resolution videos.
I’m not sure if I’m ready to switch to something else yet, but when I do, simply subscribing in my RSS reader might be what I end up on.
