RSS Feeds

Are RSS feeds for channels planned or already supported? Not finding a way to grab RSS feeds.

Youtube has this functionality built in (I just learned about this today): How to Get an RSS Feed from Youtube

If I could get RSS feeds from Cloudtube that would allow me to get channel updates and just watch the videos directly on Cloudtube that would be amazing!

NewLeaf provides these. Or at least, it should. Invidious does.

I can add a button that links to the feed URL on the instance that's currently being used.

~heywoodlh 3 years ago

That would be perfect.

In the meantime is there any way to grab the URL for a channel's RSS feed directly from NewLeaf?

I checked, and turns out there is not. For now you can look up "how to get rss for youtube channels". It should not be bad to try to add.

Yeah, that is what I am currently doing at the moment. However, since I am on iOS there is no way to redirect requests to youtube.com to my Cloudtube instance (no way that I am aware of at least).

~cadence 3 years ago

Oooh I see. You want the feeds to point to some other site. That makes sense. I'll keep that in mind.

~heywoodlh 3 years ago

Yeah, I'd love to have the feeds get updated by Cloudtube and link to the Cloudtube instance when I try to watch the videos.

I understand if this is too much but would be way cool if it was possible.
