Bug Description

In same cases, selecting a channel from the list ends up with an "Empty Section popup" but there are some video contents in his archive.

Expecyed result:
The list of the contents available

Current Result:
Empty section popup

Steps to reproduce:
 - Browse Streams
 - some random examples: Gaming -> Angry Video Game Nerd ; Science & Tech -> basketball TV on UNLITV.NET ; Science & Tech -> Slow Progress.. ; More -> Supernatural, etc..
 - Select the channel ends up with the popup
 - left arrow to browse the channel archive
 - there will be the contents sorted by date

I don't know if is the right behaviour but is confusing for the user (when I'm gonna trust the popup?)

This was already discussed, and was deemed best due to consistency.

The 'Default' action is to show 'Clips' - these are user-defined parts of the streamed videos. The archives, on the other hand, is created automagically.

That's why the empty section popup shows 'There are no _clips_ available...'.

Maybe you have some ideas that would help? Like adding 'But try if there are archives available' to this popup? Or a 'See archives' button, even?

Adding a 'browse' archives button to the popup sounds like a good idea.
