RSS-Bridge YouTube bridge only bypasses the broken videos.xml RSS endpoint when a duration filter (duration_min or duration_max) is configured. Without a filter, it fetches the same broken RSS URL. The fallback HTML scraping path extracts JSON from YouTube's twoColumnBrowseResultsRenderer embedded in channel pages.
Set duration_min=1 in your RSS-Bridge YouTube bridge configuration to force the HTML scraping code path, which extracts video data from embedded JSON in the channel page rather than fetching the broken videos.xml endpoint. This makes RSS-Bridge immune to the RSS outage at the cost of slightly different behavior (duration filtering applies).
