Steps to reproduce the bug

Send a VIEW intent with a URL like https://youtube.com/macaddress

When doing this

diff --git a/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml b/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
index 6686291a0..056c70a5d 100644

                 <!-- playlist prefix -->
                 <data android:pathPrefix="/playlist" />
+                <!-- channel names -->

             </intent-filter>
             <intent-filter>
                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />

you can open channel URLs just fine since it's a redirect to a /channel/ URL which NP knows how to handle.

This does match more than just channels though (the account or settings pages for example) and I'm not sure what the impact of that on regular users would be in that regard as my system is set up in a way to not allow browsers to open apps automatically etc.

Actual behaviour

No NP in the list

Does @channelName pattern helps?

This seems to be default youtube behavior.

YouTube introduced handles for channel names in 2022-23 (long after this issue creation), so may be this is fixable now.
