similar to youtubes subscription page, this shows all recent uploads of your subscribed cannels. for each channel, only the newest 50 videos are reported, but in total you can get however many videos back as you specify in MAX_VIDEOS.
if possible, subscriptions and your api key is saved in local storage after opening the page with the correct parameters. this way, you don't need to pass all parameters to the page, but only open xxd-dev.github.io/video to access your subs.
it is possible to pass rules attached to a channel. these rules are: minimal video length, maximal video length, words needed to be in the title, words to avoid in the title. instead of passing just the channel-id in the comma-separated list, you can pass the id like this:
this UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw[2:00-4:00;Rick;] returns only videos between 2 and 4 minutes including the word "Rick"
this UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw[-4:00;Rick,Astley;Cover] returns all video shorter than 4 minutes, including "Rick" and "Astley" but not "Cover"
this UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw[;;] returns the unfiltered videos equivalent to just UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw
