I am a big fan of Harry Stahl's book "Cross-Platform Development with Delphi 10.2 & FireMonkey for Windows, MAC OS X (macOS) & Linux". I purchased this book in May 2021 and it has helped me several times as I'm porting my Zilch application from Delphi 5 VCL to Delphi 11 FMX.

Here's are Amazon links to Stahl's book:

I like to maintain RSS feeds of my favorite Delphi blogs. So, I went looking to see if Stahl has a blog I could add to my Outlook RSS Feeds. I found a couple of Stahl's websites. He does have a few blog posts but they are not easily converted into an RSS feed. 

Does YouTube support RSS feeds?

However, Stahl has a fairly active YouTube channel called Programming with Delphi. https://www.youtube.com/@programmingwithdelphi 

I wondered if YouTube supports RSS feeds? The answer is, YES!

Open Chrome and go to the YouTube channel you want to snag the RSS feed from. Right-click and choose the View page source option.

Then click the Line wrap checkbox in the top left corner of Chrome.

Press Ctrl-F to open the search box and enter rssurl.

Click and drag your mouse to highlight the URL associated with the rssurl attribute.

Press Ctrl-C to copy this highlighted URL to the clip board.

Your copied URL should look similar to the value below.

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCiUVNZgsZZhziFL4oy-evEA

There you have it. That's all there is to grabbing the RSS Feed URL for any YouTube channel.

Enjoy!
