Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how the package consumes Atom feeds and represents item descriptions and enclosures, then determine how YouTube's channel feed should map to that representation. Done means the requested descriptions and video enclosures are supported and verified with appropriate feed data.

Description
YouTube channels have feeds.
Here's the feed for my YouTube channel.
And a canonical JSONification of the feed (this is how FeedLand gets the data from any type of feed, RSS, Atom or RDF, the YouTube feed is Atom).
I did not know they had feeds, in fact I thought I heard they specifically did not have feeds.
I've subscribed to the feed in FeedLand and it seems to work, and also included it in my blogroll category, so it should show up in my blogroll, and possibly in the Little Feed Reader on Bluesky.
All of this, and more, was discovered by Andrew Shell.
Two suggestions.
-
Include descriptions with the items.
-
Use enclosures for the videos. Atom does enclosures differently from RSS, but it can be made to work, imho.
No matter what, thank you YouTube, and it's a great start.
