Music channels are not handled correctly
Official Instance
- [X] The bug is reproducable on the official hosted instance or is API related.
Describe the bug
When subscribing to a music channel, you don't see the published videos in your feed because they are actually uploaded from a "sub-channel"
To Reproduce
- Login on Piped
- Subscribe to a music channel that recently published a video (e.g. https://piped.kavin.rocks/channel/UCiGm_E4ZwYSHV3bcW1pnSeQ)
- Look in your feed, the uploaded video does not show up
Expected behavior
When you subscribe to the "parent-channel" it should show the videos in your feed, and it should also be shown as the uploader. See https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=H_hgw-V-wBI, you can see that video on the parent-channel page but when you click it, it shows https://piped.kavin.rocks/channel/UCDGmojLIoWpXok597xYo8cg as the uploader channel

Additional context
I'm not sure if it happens with other music channels. I only tested it with Billie Eilish.
