Not all channels/videos seem to be recognised

[winkelnp]

So far I've mainly had issues with a couple channels, though I do remember at some point being auto sent to the channel page in place of the video itself, now I don't even get the "Watch on Nebula" on some videos, though it seems fairly consistent by channel.

For some it seems it might be for if the video title is different, but not consistently.

Here's a non-exhaustive list I've seen this for:

• TLDR News EU/Global (not UK, that works)
• morning brew
• Jessie Gender After Dark (main channel works here too)
• NileRed
• J J McCullough
• Tantacrul (here it depended on video, the latest one – different titles – failed but the earlier ones work. The button was there but brings me to the channel)

The mapping between YouTube and Nebula channel is automatically determined by this page: https://talent.nebula.tv/creators/ If the creator isn't on there or the YouTube channel link is incorrect, there will be no cross-link. I have not added any manual entries for that, but I think if you give me a list (YouTube link and Nebula link) I can manually add those.

As for when only a link to the channel is present: No creators (to my knowledge) consistently link to/from the Nebula video. So my matching is fairly complex; it first loads the 50 most recent videos from the channel and does a manual comparison (this is lenient and can match pretty well even if the title changes quite a bit). If that fails, a site-wide search is performed using Nebula's search. Only if that also fails, does it fall back to the bare channel link. I've only noticed this with creators that change the YouTube video title drastically to please the algorithm, this should not happen if the title matches, if it does please provide an example (YouTube video and Nebula that you would expect to match).

That makes sense that that would result in second channels not being picked up. Though I do find it funny that on a cursory scroll the only "second" channel on there would be HAI and Wendover, both made by the creator of nebula...

The example for the video title difference I is this one on Tantacrul:
YT: A History of Facebook's (& Meta's) Decline
Nebula: How I Fell Out Of Love With Facebook (2004 - 2024) Edit: just realised what you actually wrote there, this is not what you asked for, sorry I misread that

To be honest it sounds like a whole load of effort to manually add each channel that's not picked up automatically (and you'd probably end up getting requests for a quasi infinite number of channels), so I'd totally get if you don't want to do that. However the channels that (completely selfishly) I'd most like to have on there are:

• TLDR Global YT Nebula
• TLDR EU YT Nebula
• JG After Dark YT Nebula

There shouldn't be many channels on Nebula, so I think manually adding some will be fine :) I'll include them in the next update

So... I went through all the channels that aren't in the automatic list and manually found the counterpart, you can find this here: https://github.com/cpiber/NebulaEnhance/blob/master/channels.json This should cover everything I think, except originals. A few creators uploaded the originals to their regular channel, so it's split on Nebula but combined on YouTube; due to how searching is done this means YouTube->Nebula works for those, but Nebula->YouTube doesn't...
