Kind of a pain to find but it's essentially `https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCY1kMZp...` and you swap out the channel ID.

To find the channel ID: 1. Visit the creator's page 2. Click on `more` for the full description 3. Scroll down to `Share Channel` 4. Click and copy Channel ID

A bit of a pain but I'm glad I know this now!

a quick shortcut flow in a browser on the youtube channel page (a click below the video title):

ctrl+u ctrl+f "rss+x" -> shows a click+copyable video.xml link

I understand people being pleased to learn this, for me the peertube announcement was learning about p2, as it's been around a few years already.

alternateEnclosure is a real gem in the p2 rss spec, the thing that makes multiple channels and alternative formats/codecs/resolutions work.
