GetChannelUploadsAsync return videos with wrong UploadDate

See original GitHub issue

While using the lib in version 4.7.6, I noticed that the videos returned by GetChannelUploadsAsync all have the wrong UploadDates.

foreach (Video vi in await client.GetChannelUploadsAsync("UCsqjHFMB_JYTaEnf_vmTNqg", 2))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} - {1}", vi.UploadDate, vi.Title));
            }

If you look at the first video, you can see that it’s clearly wrong (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcCszG4yNIU) But oddly enough, GetVideoAsync returns the correct UploadDate.

Sorry, I didn’t have time to look into it last week and now I’m on vacation. I have it on my to-do list.

So it looks like the problem is UploadDate is actually set from “added date”, i.e. when this video was added to the playlist. It’s weird that videos uploaded by a channel are not instantly added to the system “uploaded videos” playlist, huh.
