Searching type=channel with videoEmbeddable = true returns 400 #308

returns 400 Bad Request invalidSearchFilter

When I omit videoEmbeddable=true, channel UCoPQ_TWm8JZ5nJv4a5BzSWA is returned, 
but that channel does not contain embeddable videos at all.

I understand the videoEmbeddable=true parameter is meant for videos, but that 
means when searching for channels first, lots of (Vevo) channels are returned, 
which do not contain a single embeddable video.

Suggestion: Allow the videoEmbeddable=true parameter when searching for 
type=channel and do not return any channels which do not contain at least one 
embeddable video.

As it is now, to ensure a channel contains at least one embeddable video, I 
need to make a second request.
