Another broken YouTube feed

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIoCF58wDR7NojfMs9RBQAg

Adding this feed is not working. Depending on the phase of the moon, it says either “Feed has no original page. (404)” or “Sorry, there was an unhandled error.”

So I looked into this, and it’s a bit strange. When you add a new site and paste the url https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIoCF58wDR7NojfMs9RBQAg the Website URL is not filled out under site settings. As far as I can detect it will be filled out automatically after a short while. But you can also just add it manually. Refresh the page afterwards and the feed should be working.
Do note that the channel hasn’t had an upload in 3 months, so nothing will appear when viewing the feed.

Here is what should be filled out in the site settings:

RSS/XML URL: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCIoCF58wDR7NojfMs9RBQAg
Website URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIoCF58wDR7NojfMs9RBQAg

Thanks, I have been having problems with subscribing these new ‘random string’ YouTube accounts, this method works!
