I see people are doing scripts or other things to remove shorts from their feeds, but there is a simpler solution.
Take your RSS URL of a channel, e.g.:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9B...
Replace the `channel_id` with `playlist_id` and replace `UC` with `UULF`. This prefix will only list normal videos:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULFxSG...
Thanks, I guess I can get rid of my cron task that marks shorts as read in Nextcloud News. How did you find out?
I was annoyed one day and was looking online around for some solutions.

Thanks!
From your link:
> However, this pattern was found by me by acquiring all playlists from "UUAA" to "UUZZ" and is not officially announced by YouTube.
Okay, this was reverse engineered and there's no promise from Google on that :-)
I wonder how they use these feeds if that's only internal.
