Description Nicolas F. 2017-08-10 20:23:49 UTC 
When given a regular web page URL, akregator will fetch the RSS/atom feed url from it based on its headers. However, on YouTube, this no longer works, because YouTube believes that Akregator is a mobile client and redirects it to m.youtube.com, which in turn confuses Akregator and makes it unable to add the feed url.

Searching the feed url in the webpage source and adding that manually works as a workaround.

Example URL: https://www.youtube.com/user/bigclivedotcom/videos
Akregator will try to add the feed https://m.youtube.com/user/bigclivedotcom/videos
Akregator should add the feed https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCtM5z2gkrGRuWd0JQMx76qA
