[Bug]: very old videos being shown before new videos on the subscription page

[grrrrr]

• [X] I have searched the documentation for information that matches the description of the bug I want to file, without success.
• [X] This issue contains only one bug.

Describe the bug

1. Open FreeTube on the Subscription page or refresh the Subscription page
2. The first listed videos are from subscribed channels except months to years old. Usually old videos from 1 to 23 different channels.

So far I have seen a max of 2657 of these old videos before it starts listing the expected new videos. Upcoming Videos always appear before the old videos.

Refreshing the subscriptions tab multiple times can result in the old videos now showing but it's inconsistent if it works or how many times you have to refresh

Expected Behavior

Open FreeTube or Refresh the subscription tab and only see new videos

Issue Labels

inconsistent behavior

We also noticed this and it looks like youtube might be experimenting with returning the published dates in a different format (compare the ones at the top 8d/2w/2mo vs the ones further down which use full words)

Can we have a release soon? Looks like youtube went live with the change and now videos of one youtuber are listed 100% of the time. Falling back to Invidious API for now.

@maplepy is this issue of yours on the latest nightly build?

[maplepy]

i dont think i updated yet, let me check (i'm on the AUR so i dont think i have it?) I have the git version that i could install though aur/freetube-git 0.18.0.beta.r4494.c2c3692-1 (+13 0.01) does this look right?

AUR are not maintained by us so they don't have nightly builds. Please read the info in the provided link properly

yes i know, that's why i asked

Just in case, YouTube's RSS can list old videos from inactive accounts as new.
