scripts VS youtube

Not perfect but works ok

https://github.com/n0x5/scripts/blob/master/youtube_api_uplo...

Need an API key and also the Uploads playlist ID from the channel which can use this script to get: https://github.com/n0x5/scripts/blob/master/youtube_get_uplo...

It's a little convoluted I might implement get uploads id right into the script but the issue is it doesn't always return the correct channel when searching by name, in which case one has to manually go through the results and find the right channel id which would take longer to code to actually work all the time.

I do love me some RSS. I started using RSS seriously 2 years ago, and last year, I forked Bubo RSS[1] to have my own RSS reader[2]. It's just a static site that is built every hour using Github Actions (although you can easily turn this into a cron job on your Raspberry Pi or whatever).

I liked the result so much, I ended up doing something similar using RSS feeds to a build page with all my of Youtube subscriptions[3].

Some things to note if you'd like to use it:

1. I deploy to Github Pages via Github Actions. See .github/workflows/build.yml for details. The only thing you might wanna change here is the `schedule` of how often to build your page

2. I define my subscriptions in src/feeds.json. It's just an array of tuples [name, rss_url].

3. I currently redirect to an Invidious instance. You can modify the `YOUTUBE_URL` const in scripts/render.js to `youtube.com` if you don't care for this
