YouTube RSS – How to Get an RSS Feed of YouTube Subscriptions

rssyoutube

The default "Subscriptions" feed on the YouTube homepage shows all of the activity of the people that I am subscribed to on YouTube or have in circles on Google+. However, I'm most interested in new videos that the people I subscribe to (either on YouTube or by circling on Google+) create and post (neglecting comments or sharing other people's videos – what you see when you check the "show uploads only" checkbox on the YouTube homepage). However, being able to bring anything off of the YouTube homepage and into Google Reader as an RSS feed would be good.

Is there a way to do this?

As for 2017 it can be solved with OPML file export/import. For more details visit the official YouTube support answer.

import gdata.youtube
import gdata.alt.appengine
import gdata.youtube.service

class Index(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        client = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()
        feed = client.GetRecentlyFeaturedVideoFeed()
        gdata.alt.appengine.run_on_appengine(client)

        self.response.out.write('<html><body>')
        for entry in feed.entry:
            self.response.out.write('<div>%s</div>' %entry.media.description)
        self.response.out.write('</html></body>')

If you are using a rendering template like Django, instead of self response call the rendering function of the template and pass the variable feed, in your html file call Django variables like this:

replace the self.response with:

templates.render(self, 'home.html',
                    feed=feed,
                 )

and add to your html:

{% for entry in feed.entry %}
    <div>{{entry.media.description}}</div>
{% endfor %}

Youtube – Hotkey for YouTube video to a playlist

You can just hover over the video and an icon like this...

The top one, the clock, will add it to your "watch later" list

and the one beneath it with the three lines and arrow adds the video to your queue

You can do this directly from the feed while looking at YouTube videos when you hover over the video. This works int he new YouTube layout so if you are still using the old YouTube layout I'm not sure how that would work.

There is also three dots usually next to a video anywhere on YouTube and when you press it this pops up...

(Add to queue, Save to Watch later, Save to playlist, and Report)

You can press any of the three and it will add the video to a playlist
