For the past several hours I have not been able to add any new YouTube feeds. Anyone else? I don’t see any other reports on here yet so I wanted to make the issue known or find out if I’m the only one. I’ve tried on the android app and the web. Thanks! ---

Got an example feed? ---

All of them that I’ve tried so far have failed, so I don’t think it’s any particular channel. It’s possible the issue is on YouTube’s side, but when I go to the feed url directly it seems to display as expected. For example, > **[TechCrunch](https://www.youtube.com/@TechCrunch)** > > TechCrunch is a leading technology media property, dedicated to obsessively profiling startups, reviewing new Internet products, and breaking tech news. I’ve tried the RSS Feed directly too. [https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel\_id=UCCjyq\_K1Xwfg8Lndy7lKMpA](https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCCjyq_K1Xwfg8Lndy7lKMpA) When trying to add the channel by channel url, which is what I always do, NewsBlur throws an error back. When I add the feed URL directly it will add a feed named “untitled” and will not populate any videos. I thought maybe it was related to the server change because last night was the first time I’ve tried to add a YouTube feed for a few days. Thanks! ---

The same problem. ---

Hopefully this is resolved soon. 80% of what I use NewsBlur for is YouTube feeds. Yes, a bit of an odd use case but that’s why I have a Premium Archive account. ---

This is an application problem, because everything works fine in other rss readers. ---

Also, the YouTube feeds that I already have added are working fine. I just can’t add any new feeds. ---

And my old ones do not give out errors, but they are not updated. ---

Ok I see the issue. I’ll have to rewrite the youtube fetcher which might take me a couple days. This is my top priority, so I’ll get to it soon. ---

This has been working good since your fix, but I did run into an issue today that is giving me the [untitled] error again. It’s when trying to add this channel [https://youtube.com/@vivek-2024](https://youtube.com/@vivek-2024) I thought maybe it’s because of the dash in the channel name. I tried replacing the - with the HTML code but that didn’t work. Any ideas? One other side note is when adding a channel it used to copy the channel name with capitalization and now it’s always lowercase. I manually rename feeds anyway so not a big deal but thought I’d let you know. ---

Can we get a confirmation that this is being worked on? Not being able to add some YouTube channels, even using the official YouTube RSS URLs, is quite limiting. I just had my Archive Account renew for the year and have been mostly really happy with the service, but I would like to be able to fully use it. Thanks! ---

Ok, added support for hyphens in youtube usernames. ![Screenshot 2024-04-01 at 8.34.04 AM](https://forum.newsblur.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/711347a7095f0b497b2ecddc999815a6467e7e4f.jpeg) ---

I’m sorry, but does this mean that the problem with YouTube has been fixed? It still doesn’t work for me. ![image](https://forum.newsblur.com/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fc2c65dbcc15f6f71b09c4ffcdbdf58f5d77e70e.png) ---

Weird. I see the screenshot and it’s working for you, but I’ve tried on the Android app and on the web and I still get the [Untitled] error. There are other feeds without a hyphen that cannot be added as well. Like described here [Cannot add youtube channel - #11 by Hg201](https://forum.newsblur.com/t/cannot-add-youtube-channel/10419/11) ---

Hi! Yes, it works on your server. I mean my server. What should I do with my installation to make it work too? ---

I have updated the files from the repository that have been changed. Then I launched the `make nb`. But that didn’t fix the situation. ---

Maybe it is necessary to clone the repository completely? [Next page](https://forum.newsblur.com/t/cannot-add-any-new-youtube-feeds/10472.md?page=2)
