No links at youtube channels #24

Extension only gives links to channels with /user/example , but not with /channel/* in the url.

Reeywhaar commented 5 years ago

Well, for me it doesn't even show links in /user/example because Youtube doesn't expose rss links. Do you by any chance have any extension that could expose these links, such as Youtube Feeds?

@Reeywhaar i get them with you extension on /user/example, they don't appear sometimes, but after you refresh the page, they are always there. Playlist's rss links are not exposed.

@Reeywhaar Youtube feeds always follow the same patterns, so you can just parse the URLs: https://github.com/pipes-digital/pipes/issues/20#issue-244152789.

there's a number of sites that can benefit from simple feed URL templates - see #16

As for supporting these popular websites, I think it's very unrewarding and time consuming pastime. Something will be always broken, because I can't put my eyes on every website.

personally i don't agree - these websites have used the same feed URLs for years at least, and being able to access feeds on hugely popular websites that don't expose them is an asset
