getChannelFromURL doesn't work with custom channel URLS #177

Hi

The getChannelFromURL function doesn't support the use of custom channel URLS. Links like https://www.youtube.com/c/customname for example.

Do you know if there is any easy way around this, or does YouTube API not support queries via custom channel names?

Thanks

There are five variants of custom channel URLs now:

  1. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK8sQmJBp8GCxrOtXWBpyEA
  2. https://www.youtube.com/@Google
  3. https://www.youtube.com/c/Google
  4. https://www.youtube.com/user/Google and even
  5. https://www.youtube.com/Google

I've created a pull request with ability to use all of them.
