Some channels fail with TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bool") to str

[transplier]

Thanks for this script, it makes TA much more usable for me!

Looks like some channel's descriptions get set to False (the bool, not the string), which causes things to crash. Please note that line numbers won't match up perfectly as I'm running some unrelated tweaks to the symlink code.

If I add str calls around the offending lines, it proceeds fine.

Not sure why the description is being set to False. Perhaps it happens if the description is just empty, which it seems to be for the affected video in TA. On YouTube itself though the description appears to just be a couple emoji. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B4guKLlbVU
