Add custom names to followed Youtube channels for when offline. #65

Closed crim-sama closed 7 months ago

crim-sama commented 3 years ago

When youtube channels without custom URLs are offline, their names default to the user ID that's just garbled numbers and letters. Would love a way to add custom names to each entry so I know which is which.

Yea that's def something that needs to be worked on though the whole youtube setup needs a bit of a rework so people can authenticate with their own accounts.

Right now it sort of uses a shared api to access data which results in hitting request limits pretty frequently and would only get worse the more people who use this appliaction.

I'll see if I can take a look this weekend but no promises on that.

I didn't have enough time to sort this out, next time I get a chance I'll just look at fixing this and leave the youtube overhaul until later.

Looks like I forgot about this until I reviewed issues today. Better late than never I suppose: https://github.com/laurencee/Livestream.Monitor/releases/tag/2.13.8

If your old livestreams from youtube don't have displaynames you can look up the channel id from a site like https://commentpicker.com/youtube-channel-id.php and set the value yourself (which is what I had to do for a few really old followed youtube channels).

Ideally there should be some right click option on the channels in the GUI to be able to set this value, but at least there's a workaround by directly editing the livestreams.json file.
