Hello,
I downloaded Boxee today, started playing with it, and read over the forums. I took my first shot at building an App by tackling LinkTV one of my favorite channels. So far my App supports 9 programs and several hundred hours of programing. I sent an email to LinkTV today to ask permission to use copyrighted material such as their logo, and while I wait for their response and polish up the work that I have already completed I figure I might as well keep going and add more programing. My next task involves integrating YouTube videos into my project. I understand that the YouTube API supports feeds and so I did some digging and found gdata,youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists but this just give me links off to the videos. I tried youtube.com/rss/tags/key+words.rss but that gave me mixed results. I know someone in this community has been successful at integrating YouTube content effectively so my first question is, how do I get a video feed for a play list? My next question involves overwriting default thumbnails for feeds. The feeds available to me come with a generic icon. I would like to create a channel thumbnail for each program in the App menu/default page for usability and aesthetics. If someone can provide guidance on either of these issues it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. I look forward to reading your responses.
