[bug] getChannelByName returning wrong channel
ibrunotome opened this issue · 1 comments
For example:
->getChannelByName('santicristo') should return data of UCnHTWQ-oA6fyhLluEris6qw channel, but the return is of the UCYN9J-V6B-YWuWxvftP-y6w channel.
That's not a bug.
->getChannelByName('santicristo') returns this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/santicristo
The returned ID displays the correct channel if you use the alternative URL format: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYN9J-V6B-YWuWxvftP-y6w
The channel ID you specified is a completely different YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnHTWQ-oA6fyhLluEris6qw
But I guess you were referring to the "custom URL" format, which matches: https://www.youtube.com/c/santicristo
From what I understand it's currently not possible to translate "Custom URL" to "Channel ID".
