Hmm, after trying again it seems like your script does grab both the 'user' and 'channelID' URLs, however for whatever reason my Feedbro extension for Firefox doesn't import anything after I upload the text file. Which extension are you using?
Looks like it was a problem with how I formatted the OPML output. Try it again please.
Seems to work now--the only nitpick I'd have left is that the feeds aren't sorted into a folder the way they were before. Thanks again for putting this together!
Yep, that's actually what I've been doing since my last comment. The HTML tag needed seems to be. <outline title="Youtube Subscriptions" text="Youtube Subscriptions"> </outline>, wrapped around the feeds.
After some testing manually adding those tags to the output of your script does seem to work fine, so if you want to add that to your script feel free.
That does seem to work, yes. Thanks.
