I love when I run brew update and it changes around dynamically-linked
libraries, destroying many other binaries and interpreteres in the process!
Sincerily, someone who just had to rebuild my site generator to relink its
libraries to publish this š
I realize Iām being a reply guy here, sorry.
I have recently put some work into improving my YouTube RSS feed approach.
The official YouTube feed resource works well for me.
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=username
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=channel_id
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=playlist_id
YouTube's official feed only shows the first 30 or so items in any given playlist. If you're unlucky enough to subscribe to one of the 50% of playlists where the owner appends new videos to the end of the playlist, as opposed to prepending them to the beginning, the feed will never reflect that once it has enough items.
To fix this, I wrote my own feed processor using the YouTube Data API v3 client and Java. If you want to subscribe to the beginning of the playlist, pass or omit the reverse=false query parameter, and to subscribe to the end, pass reverse=true.

My good man, please reply all you like! This is super useful, way better than my way of finding the feeds lol 
And thanks for sharing the API link!
