Hi, I work on a variety of things, most of which I talk about more on my blog than on social media. Here, you’ll probably find me talking mostly talking about Free Culture works and sometimes technology.

    I believe that YouTube supports RSS. I haven’t used it in years, but gPodder allowed subscribing to channels.

    Ah, yeah. From this post:

    • Go to the YouTube channel page.
    • Click more for the About box.
    • Scroll down to click Share channel. Choose Copy channel ID.
    • Get the feed from https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= plus that channel ID from the previous step.

    From there, something (like a podcast client) needs to grab the video.

    Otherwise, I’ve been using Tartube to download to my media server, which is not great but fine, except for needing to delete the lock file when it (or the computer) crashes, and the fact that the media server hasn’t the foggiest idea of how to organize the “episodes.”
