Here's the test RSS URL

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=PLrOH7T36QRfWxFW5UwhX3o3MZab1HZb_c

Here the permalink, in case the author changes the title

https://files.catbox.moe/5hwyhp.xml

When Elfeed attempts to read the entry, it says

[2025-11-22 12:58:27] [error]: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=PLrOH7T36QRfWxFW5UwhX3o3MZab1HZb_c: (error XML: (Not Well-Formed) Invalid entity reference)

The entry title contains &. When I create a copy of this RSS file without the & (changing nothing else) and feed it into Elfeed, it works as expected.
