Thread: youtube rss + playlist problem

  1. #1

    Default youtube rss + playlist problem

    As an example, here is one of my playlists:

    http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...FADD4704C6CD67

    My issue is that no matter what rss mashup tool I use I cannot get all my videos in my playlist to populate in the rss feed (about half). In the example above there are 50 videos in that playlist. I could have sworn, that not long ago I was able to populate up to 50 videos in a single rss playlist feed, unless google made some changes recently.

    I also tried this yahoo pipe:

    Any input or solution would be appreciated.

    are you talking about making your own RSS application that pulls off your RSS feed xml? It seems that's what you mean.
    Now your first link is not formatted the same. It's a playlist and not an RSS link. I cannot get it to show up in my RSS feed in Boxee at all. I'm not sure about that one myself.

    I just whipped up a rss app for another user with his YouTube feeds for specific channels. I just noticed that it is showing only 25 vids per feed in a browser and in Boxee. It's like your second link provided. Your link works in my app, but again it's limited to the 25 on the page too.


    At this point, I'm not sure how to increase the limit per feed.

    Default youtube feeds

    One of the most powerful tools (in my opinion) youtube has allowed access to is searching for video topics that populate user playlists, and then converting that playlist over to an RSS feed so that it can be used in apps like mythstream (mythtv third party app) or boxee.

    As an example,

    Youtube search:
    http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...rch_type=&aq=f

    Then click on "Playlist Results for WSOP"

    I can add literally 800-1000 streaming videos to my youtube categories in a matter 20-30 minutes in mythstream or boxee. Much easier then creating your own playlists or adding single videos to your list.

    Taking the first playlist from the youtube search:

    http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...rch_query=WSOP

    and then taking the playlist id (BAA493CF16457318) and plugging it in at the end of the yahoo pipe returns the playlist as a rss feed. Very easy to do and useful.

    I guess with this recent change from google/youtube to allow only 25 videos to populate in a rss feed I'll have to only add playlists that only have 25 videos in each one. It's a bummer.

    Default Feed Solution

    I found a solution to this issue.

    Youtube infact only allows a 50 max limit on rss feed results. Here is how to accomplish this:

    Gdata link
    -----------
    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/...max-results=50

    **Notice ?max-results=50 after the playlist id


    Yahoo pipe to convert to rss
