Hi all,

Anybody else having problems in subscribing to a new feed from YouTube? I'm using Linux Mint v21 LTS and the latest version of gpodder as retrieved from GitHub.

Existing YouTube subscriptions are downloading just fine, but any attempt to subscribe to a new feed (and I've tried more than one) produces the following error message (below), the only difference being obviously the channel name. I've tried this on different pages for this channel as well (the front page, videos page, etc). All produce the same type of error.

Anybody have any ideas, please?

Brian.

Things are in a big stir nowadays. My email quit on May 9, and I did not get my email till I went to a webmail program for my Hostgator email a few days ago. Thunderbird seems to be the problem. I got this message when I tried to download any email and I was not going to start pushing buttons. Attached. Sorry about your YT issues. Suggestions for better email??? Thanks.
