New channel url doesn’t get parsed #73

Previously, channel URLs were in the form of

https://www.youtube.com/channel/...

That seems to have been changed to:

https://www.youtube.com/c/...

Adding a channel with the new URL doesn’t resolve the playlist.

Something in youtube-dl's YouTube extractor changed. Channel URLs do not resolve to playlists anymore. As a workaround you can use youtube.com/.../videos

ytcc now performs stricter checks when subscribing. You cannot subscribe to channel URLs directly anymore. The new youtube-dl extractor for YouTube channels basically extracts a playlist of playlists. Ytcc cannot handle nested playlists.
