> .. improves support for Podcast 2.0, allowing users to subscribe to channels and play the video audio stream (if available) using classic podcast applications that refers to https://podcasting2.org/podcast-namespace https://podcasting2.org/podcast-namespace A youtube channel url provides a rss link too, but it's not advertised much and you need a player that can extract the audio stream. I often yt-dl the audio from talks/interviews, but it could be easier. The v7 interface came out nice, for examples see https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-version&page=1 https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-version&p...

The rss feed provides a link that you can open in a web browser to play the video. You don't need a tool to extract it.

  You do if you want to use a podcast player application, which is what the comment you're replying to is talking about.

Kind of a pain to find but it's essentially `https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCY1kMZp36IQSyNx_9h4mpCg https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCY1kMZp...` and you swap out the channel ID. To find the channel ID: 1. Visit the creator's page 2. Click on `more` for the full description 3. Scroll down to `Share Channel` 4. Click and copy Channel ID A bit of a pain but I'm glad I know this now!

  a quick shortcut flow in a browser on the youtube channel page (a click below the video title): ctrl+u ctrl+f "rss+x" -> shows a click+copyable video.xml link I understand people being pleased to learn this, for me the peertube announcement was learning about p2, as it's been around a few years already. alternateEnclosure is a real gem in the p2 rss spec, the thing that makes multiple channels and alternative formats/codecs/resolutions work.

  The script doesn't work anymore, `externalId` is no longer found in the page source. That's okay, I've found a regular type="application/rss+xml" <link> is in the page head of YouTube channel pages but only if you load that page directly; if you follow links within the site to the channel page, it's an SPA and you don't get the channel URL's <link> elements. The channel page also has a <link rel="canonical" …> and that URL ends with the channel ID, even if it has an `@` handle.
