About 5 days ago, the list of "Latest Videos" for the Subscriptions section is displaying a list of "Popular Videos".
I say "Popular Videos", because they all appear as uploaded by a channel(?) named "Popular on YouTube".

Please, let me know if I should post some log file or provide any additional information.

    Yeah, it's a hassle I use this feature a lot. I've look at the code to see if I can sort it out, but it will take me some time to get my head around it. So I'm hoping @offbyone can have a look at it soon. Otherwise I'll have to try and have a go at it.

    Ok I've been looking into this, seems YouTube have removed the ability to do this using their API (Also Watch history and Watch later) at this stage I haven't found an easy way to recreate this function apart from scraping the site and using regex. @offbyone could you offer any help in this regards?

    Is it me or is Google trying to "force" us to watch YouTube through the browser of through their official (crappy POS) app?
    I'm sure there must be a way to do this (their iOS app does it), without having to rely on a site scrapper, which they can (and probably will) break anytime they want.

    I did make a fix for this, a crude one but it does get the videos there. As soon as someone updates offbyones utility it should work. If it's left the way I left it changing the web requests time out to 45sec is a must, only option I had to me was to grab all the new videos at once.
