Hi!

What would you say about may be adding a feature to ytools to retrieve a list of all the videos from a channel?

YouTube, of course, provides has an rss feed for it, with the following URL:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<CHANNELID_GOES_HERE>

But it lists only some (latest?) videos..

What do you think?

No need for ytools, you can simply use youtube-dl to download whole channels. For example:

youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2eYFnH61tmytImy1mTYvhA/videos'

# If you don't want to download, but only list the videos use this:
youtube --get-title 'https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2eYFnH61tmytImy1mTYvhA/videos'

Is this what you are looking for?
