parsing youtube uRSS

[Free WordPress Themes]

Hi,

my youtube is messed up, time to write a real youtube parser

I the RSS resource site from you tube is really good for listings and each item holds all information you need on your website.

I thought about to parse for every new request the RSS feed (don't accept big performance problems in the beginning)

but what if the user click a link to see a detail with the video?

what is the best way to pass that information to the next page? or is better to store the data in a database?

I hope I 'm looking on the right source page:

Ok, here is the solution :

$embed = ereg_replace("',)",'',array_pop(explode('?v=', $item['guid'])));

echo '<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$embed.'"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$embed.'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>';


I would explain it more, but I know you understand how to use it

sure but I can access the XML via dom or after parsing with magpie as an array, using the rss there is no html code

This example is for use with magpie (or any other RSS reader you like)

you don't need it check the node you got from the RSS: (I think you're using the api)

Code:

<item>
<author>rss@youtube.com (guitar90)</author>
<title>guitar</title>
<link>http://youtube.com/?v=QjA5faZF1A8</link>

... ity looks like that several nodes are not recognized by MagPie the last "enclosure" is not included in the parsed array

so I need to write my own parser?

In that case I guess you'll have to create your own....
