Re^3: Challenge: Parse XML Feed for Youtube channel -- XML::Twig

Hm. The feed for the complete channel also seems to contain only 15 elements, which certainly isn't complete, either…, although the channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/YAPCNA/videos) contains about 42 videos from between 2022-06-24 and 2022-06-24 (plus many more older ones).

Perhaps we need another challenge first: generate an RSS feed from the Youtube webpage for a playlist (or channel) 😛

(Update: biggest part of this second challenge probably is to overcome dynamic scrolling, and perhaps this is the challenge where YT's own feed generator fails)

I think YT is deliberately neglecting to update the feed. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Indeed, was able to create a full playlist this way. ==> see update Recordings for TPC 2022 in Houston. Alas a video-description was not available.
