Just a heads up that YouTube channels do generally have RSS feeds; e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=NFL https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.

Just a heads up that YouTube channels do generally have RSS feeds; e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=NFL https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=NFL or https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC8WAaaW2FnctRI9coYJoUdA https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC8WAaaW...
But RSS Bridge does look very neat!
- kevincox 3y agoJust paste the channel URL until your reader and it should find the feed automatically. YouTube has the proper discovery metadata set up.
- corobo 3y agoOh good, they're back! There was concern a little while ago that Google had killed off the YouTube RSS feeds https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39179446 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39179446 Click saver: 2 weeks ago YouTube channel RSS feeds were returning a 404 response (It looks like they actually came back while that thread was still active)
- troad 3y agoIt's a fair point - Google cannot be relied upon to continue providing this kind of open access indefinitely. I noticed my RSS reader hitting those 404s at the time, and I promptly started looking into the Piped / Invidious infrastructure, thinking Google is pulling up the drawbridge (a la Reddit, Twitter, etc). Then YT RSS came back and I stopped, but I really should switch my feeds away from Google anyway.
