I get the rss from several YT channels and some are shordt vids, which seems a new YT feature. I'm not interested in them less than 1 minute long.

None so far. I'm puzzled at this moment.

Can you show an example of relevant RSS feed?

[i300220]

Gladly. Short vids mixed with normal vids.

I cannot immediately spot any information in the feed, which could help filter out the videos based on their length.

I have the same issue, that I would like to have it filtered out.

But I cannot find any information in the RSS feed, that could help here.

Only an extension could help that fetches the page and checks out the ytp-time-duration

[i300220]

Yeah, https://www.youtube.com/@BeatriceFloreaSinger/videos and https://www.youtube.com/@BeatriceFloreaSinger/shorts share the same rss feed. Annoying... Half are shorts

Will sleep on that, I guess.

I'm working on an solution about this wish based on https://github.com/Benjamin-Loison/YouTube-operational-API It will be integrated into my extension xExtension-YouTubeChannel2RssFeed

Have a look at CNTools#8

[math-GH]

Great :)

Let me move this ticket to the extensions repository.

A few seconds ago i checked in a alpha version of xExtension-YouTubeChannel2RssFeed to detect youtube shorts.

Please test it and i'm happy to read your feedback.
