URL to YouTube can be incorrect - c vs channel in link

Open olekstomek opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

My id to my channel: UCG5-iPOoQ65CKi5YuZXSqqg I put this value into youtube channel name input. Generated link:

href="https://www.youtube.com/c/ucg5-ipooq65cki5yuzxsqqg"

is incorrect and it returns 404 error. Correct URL is

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG5-iPOoQ65CKi5YuZXSqqg

The difference are letter size of id and c vs channel in URL.

But URL with c in URL can be correct, for example: https://www.youtube.com/c/google

Hey olekstomek, I tried to find a way to convert a youtube channel id to name, but I didn't find anything can helps. For now the app support just youtube channel name, so you can use your channel name (TomekOleksik) instead of the id.
