I was wondering if there was any way I could grab all of the content creator's channel (that I watch) rss feed from YouTube and make it into one html file to host it on my github pages. I can then go to my rss reader, I use YouTube music and AntennaPod. YouTube music for my iPhone and AntennaPod on android as a backup.

Just wondering if this was possible, but also, I remember seeing a reddit post (or stack overflow) not long ago, like a year ago. A user asked about this and youtube shut that down due to, and I'm taking a guess, its because of this may block ads preventing them from making profit.

What a great project! Love the idea. I’m going to check it out later as I’m a bit busy.

Thanks :) pe1uca summed it up pretty nicely. I‘d add that you can get all your channelIds (which you need for the rss feeds) by exporting your YouTube subscriptions via google takeaway. You can take a look at what the rss feed gives you, it’s as pe1uca said the 15 most recent videos and sadly not all the info: duration e.g. is missing.

Yeah, since not all videos are shown, someone in this thread shared a repo that allows us to host our own YouTube library, and there’s a jellyfin plugin for it. So I guess the channel not displaying all videos is fine, as for my use cases, I just care for updates and such.
