I currently manually copy the URLs of all of my YouTube subscription notifications to the clipboard with JDownloader open, so that JDownloader can automatically detect and save the URLs, video and stream names, etc.
I can then use the JDownloader linkgrabber list to find any video or stream that I ever got a notification for. Some of these videos or streams are unlisted and cannot be found again any other way. Others have gone offline, but having the URL can sometimes be useful to find an archived version somewhere (such as the Wayback Machine).
However, I am running into multiple problems. For one thing, repetitiously manually right-clicking on and copying hundreds of URLs every day is causing me arm pain now, and JDownloader is getting increasingly sluggish due to the hundreds of thousands of videos in its linkgrabber list.
Is there any way to automatically (or at least easily) save the URLs and video names of all of one's YouTube subscription notifications?
