 You need to specify the parameter as a Protobuf field. I think adding support for this is technically infeasible without the Protobuf library.

I just want to add that the current fork of nanojson uses significantly more CPU than upstream! In Piped, I'm now using a [personal fork](https://github.com/FireMasterK/nanojson/commits/master) since https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped-Backend/pull/357, the difference is...

Could you provide an example for a topic channel?

I see, these channels seems to contain only playlists and have no 'videos'. We can add support for these by extracting the playlists from the json file. The first step...

There seems to be some relevant work already in #279
