Hi, you can only subscribe to a channel when you're logged in. Are you sure this is the case?

intp56 commented 3 years ago

Yes, quite sure, thanks. Just tested again, same result.

moisout commented 3 years ago

I see, i'll look into it

In the meantime, you can export to OPML using a userscript (like this one: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/418574-export-youtube-subscriptions-to-rss-opml)

I have created a fix in #941, but i will have to test it first. I will update this issue once it's deployed on dev.viewtube.io.

It's now on dev.viewtube.io, it's working for me. Can someone test it aswell?

Thank you--I attempted to sign in, but my normal credentials which work on the public site were unfortunately rejected.

Yes, the dev and normal site are using different databases, because dev is on the latest unstable version, while the normal site runs the latest release.
