2017 Update  Henry s answer may be a little off the mark here  If you look for data-channel-external-id in the source code you may find more than one ID  and only the first occurrence is actually correct  Get the channel id used in  lt link rel  alternate  type  application rss xml  title  RSS  href  https   www youtube com feeds videos xml channel id  lt VALUE HERE  gt  instead
