Show Channel Video Count does not work on channels with custom URLs

BUG: The settings "Show Channel Video Count" does not work on channels with a dedicated channel link and an error is displayed in the console. No video count is displayed.

HOW:

  • Enable "Show Channel Video Count"
  • Go to a channel with a dedicated channel URL
  • Reload

EXPECTED (/preferred) behavior: Channel video count is listed next to the subscribers

Why it does not work: The script finds the link to the Channel, grabs the channel name/ID from it then makes a request to YouTube API. The YouTube API only takes the actual channel ID.

Setup:

⚬ ImprovedTube Version: 3.9.65, 3.9.45, 3.9.35 ⚬ Browser: Chrome, Firefox ⚬ Settings: improvedtube_settings.txt ⚬ OS: Windows 10
