problem

Currently trying to add new YouTube RSS feeds but keep getting hit with a ‘failed to search YouTube’ error:

This is only when pressing ‘enter’ to search, not on the initial filter. It means I can’t find a lot of channels as the ‘enter’ search tends to find what I’m looking for, whereas the filter doesn’t.

Thanks!

It’s working now - maybe something went down this morning?

Thanks for reporting this. The YouTube channel search was hitting the YouTube Data API quota limit (resets daily), which is why it started working again later that morning.

I’ve switched the search to not rely on the API quota at all, so this shouldn’t happen again. The fix will go out with the next deploy.
