#YouTube 3 hashtags

After restructuring the code of yt2html to fetch videos of "subscribed" #YouTube channels asynchronously via #JavaScript rather than #PHP, loading the video feed with ~100 channel takes less around 5 seconds (non-blocking), rather than 30 seconds in which time the site appears in a loading loop forever.

So now I can enjoy a rather clean and chronologically sorted YouTube feed without waiting for site loads forever. Good stuff :)

Whoops, #youtube appears to be shutting down their #RSS endpoints for channels' uploads

There is that one odd #podcast I like which is only available on #youtube, which of course can not be inserted into my podcatcher OOTB.

So I wrote a little #PHP-script which refactors youtube's #rss into podcast rss-feed and fetches audio of video-entries on-demand via #ytdlp. It is not quite finished (for example, video-descriptions as well as channel-images are not fully implemented yet), but it is already functional. I use it with @AntennaPod without any issues.

Not sure, if this is too niche, but in case anyone else has a use for that: https://codeberg.org/jayvii/yt2rss
