FAQ entry for subs import from YT 'brand accounts' #382

Open opusforlife2 opened 2 days ago

I got a subscriptions.csv extracted, looks like all info is there but import fails. Edit: I saved it to google drive. This was the problem. The file needs to be locally on the device.

I also got the error at first with only the watch&search history. My youtube account is a so called "brand account" that is linked to my google/email account, but they are 2 different acounts. You cannot access this account from the newpipe app i think.

Goto the youtube web page (I used a desktop PC) click on the top right circle to access your brand account and export the data from there. Then transfer to phone.
