Youtube RSS Feeds

[Ericeman]

I've been trying to create a Youtube RSS feed for the web series Wainy Days. The show is available as a show and as a playlist. I've managed to create an RSS feed from the playlist (easy enough) but it's limiting it to 25 items. I'm at a loss of ideas at this point.

Another thing that I've been wondering is if anything (Feedburner maybe) will allow me to attatch my own image to the feed. The episodes have thumbnails which looks really neat but the feed itself has a dinky little rectangular YouTube logo.

Thanks!

If you look at the youtube api page it lets you know there is a limit of how many can be in a feed I worked around with my khan academy app. If you view source on http://app.jendabom.com/khan/khanAca...lgebra_RSS.xml you will see how it is done I suppose I will post the code here:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Khan Academy | Algebra</title>

I highlighted the important part. &start-index=51&max-results=50 means that you will start at the 51st video and there is 50 displayed in your results (youtubes max allotted.)

Hope that helps.

Glad to hear you're using this: I plan to keep it much more aggressively up-to-date than has been the case in the past, but don't hesitate to let me know if you find errors or need clarifications.
