Won't display YouTube Playlist content
YouTube RSS feed http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/sonyeurope/uploads should be a valid feed but it does not display when you run the App. Could do with some Help text on what is a valid YouTube RSS feed URL (if I've got it wrong)
Answer
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/sonyeurope/uploads (feed with images) does not work either
According to Martin, it looks like some YouTube feeds won't work if they contain copyright material....
So that feed won't work. It's only playlist URLs that are supported... E.G. the ones you can search for using the system. I will add "Support Channel Videos" as a feature request. The you tube video issue that other were experiencing has now been fixed. The issue was caused when a video had no comments or likes.
To get an RSS feed for a particular Youtube user, you can use the Youtube API to generate a URL for ZipApp, following the below directions:
1. Go to https://gdata.youtube.com/demo/index.html
2. Under the 'Video Feeds' section on the left, select either Videos Query or Uploads Query, depending on what you want to get an RSS feed of (Uploads is all uploads by someone, videos is playlists)
3. In the table below, next to Projection, select Atom/RSS readers
4. In the table below that, next to Output Format, select RSS 2.0
5. If using Videos Query from step 2:
Next to Author name, specify a username you want to pull the videos from (e.g. AstonMartin)
If using Uploads Query from step 2:
Next to User ID, specify a username you want to pull the videos from (e.g. AstonMartin)
6. Once you've filled in all the data, at the bottom you will see a 'Resulting URI' - if you copy-paste this into a new tab, you will see the RSS feed for the videos you requested.
Of course, you can configure all the options using other boxes in the API to get a more specific set of results (e.g. a certain playlist, etc.) and the resulting URI should accommodate that!
