Video pages for a channel don't work

[MBCX]

Going to any channel seems to load the first page of videos fine. Trying to go to any other page returns the following 500:

    raise FetchError(str(response.status), reason=response.reason,
youtube.util.FetchError: HTTP error during request: 500 Internal Server Error

Also, the Shorts, Streams, and Playlists pages seem to not work as well, returning no videos. Also, I tried doing the same with and without tor, still getting this issue.

I previously mention something like this before here #178. But that was temporary (for whatever reason), but now it seems to be consistent.

I have the same issue on macOS:

I think the best approach is to give up on using the browse API for channels since YouTube breaks it so often, and switch to the Uploads From playlist. All channel ids start with UC. If you replace this with UU, it is becomes the id for a playlist with all the user's uploads (youtube-local gets the channel video count from this playlist already). So you get easy pagination using an API that's already well known and that YouTube hasn't changed since the first time I implemented it.

This would also alleviate the need to maintain separate Shorts and Streams tabs since the playlist includes everything - the latest playlist page from YouTube even provides a way to filter out shorts but not streams.

The only thing that would be missing is sorting by views
