I'm really new to Rainmeter so it is hard for me to get into this topic.
What i want to try is to get the informations of my Youtube Subscription feed but i fail to get the RegExp right.
There are so similar-looking terms in the source-code.
What i try to get is:
The title, the thumbmail, the link and the channel of the first, second, third etc. Video
I don't really know how to ask this question, but i hope you get me.

You probably can't. The WebParser plugin can't handle the cookies, you can't parse a site which needs login, as the Youtube Subscription. It could be used if the YouTube would support the HTTP authentication, but if I'm not wrong, it don't support it.
Sorry, but I think there is no solution in Rainmeter for a such task.

I have thought about it. you can go to any channel without logging in (so you dont have this problem anymore) and then you could take the information of every single site to the parser Plugin.+
I know a little complex, but would it work?

I suppose it would, but in your initial post, you said you want
Ok, what would be the URL you want to use? The simple https://www.youtube.com/?Jus wrote:to get the informations of my Youtube Subscription feed

Re: Getting to the feed of Youtube Subscriptions
That's really not that easy, however, to have your subscriptions, you have to follow some steps.
- if you want updates of one channel, you need to copy and paste the URL of that channel, it will be used as an RSS feed.
- if you want updates of all your channels, you need to download them as an OPML file, using the subscription manager.
Hope this helps.

Re: Getting to the feed of Youtube Subscriptions
yeah 
so if it doesnt work this way, i wanted to go to each channel and get the newest Videos of it.
For example:
I go to Channel XY
Get the newest Video
Try to show thumbmail and title on my desktop through rainmeter.
So, basically a youtube Box in rainmeter.
I know, a little complicated but if it works for 2 Channels, it will work for 30 channels.
