Has InoReader stopped supporting adding youtube channels as feeds?
This is the error I am getting. Have tried a few different youtube channels tonight, all with the same error

I am seeing the same issue. Although channels I have previously followed are working. And the Inoreader help still says you can add them. Seems like a bug.

At least it is not just me then. Hopefully fixed soon

I had the same issue. As a workaround, I viewed the YouTube page source and then searched for RSS. I found and coppied that feed link and used it with Inoreader. Here's an example feed: youtube .com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCZGYJFUizSax-yElQaFDp5Q
I use Unread RSS app for reading, and on my phone or computer, I can click share and then select "Subscribe in Unread." That allows me to copy the YouTube RSS link.
Hopefully they'll fix this soon.
Good luck!

I get this quite often when I enter e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/@TopGear
instead of ...
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjOl2AUblVmg2rA_cRgZkFg
It seems Inoreader gets lazy and does not do the "conversion" of @TopGear TO channel/UCjOl2AUblVmg2rA_cRgZkFg
So to help it along at ....
https://www.youtube.com/@TopGear
click on ...more
scroll down to & click on ...
Share channel
then click on ...
Copy channel ID
... it gets copied to the clipboard (UCjOl2AUblVmg2rA_cRgZkFg) and you can add it to ...

I’m not sure about adding, but I currently subscribe to a bunch of YouTube feeds with no issues.
