It happens every time I refresh the feed. New elements continue to appear though.

You've subscribed to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkjEqPY4fcDZFYER-rF8kmA, which doesn't have a Videos tab

[TobiGr]

We should handle that better.

[opusforlife2]

So shouldn't we keep this open? Or is this a duplicate of some other issue?

[wb9688]

@opusforlife2: This is definitely a duplicate of many other issues. Also this issue shouldn't be kept open, as it's expected behavior. Someone might however create another issue requesting a better UI for such cases, though maybe we already did that at some point, not sure.

[opusforlife2]

@wb9688 I opened the channel in 0.19.8. It says "this content is not supported, future version, etc."

So the case of opening the channel is handled well.

But it seems like the Feed code doesn't take such channels into account, and that's what we need to handle?

[yopox]

From a user point of view it's unclear that this error concerns a channel without videos. Such channels could be skipped when importing subs, or the exception could be hidden if the channel exists. (maybe it will have videos one day?)

Oops. I forgot to link. Duplicate of #3646.
