[QUOTE="mkdevo, post: 593486, member: 102138"] Now that I've got OnlineVideos up and running, I have a couple questions and a suggestion about what I use it for the most - YouTube. [B][SIZE="4"]Question 1: How do I add a link to see my own channel? [/SIZE][/B] [INDENT]I've tried to add my personal channel (my youtube username is mkdevo) two different ways with the RssLinks: YouTube says to use this: [CODE]http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/mkdevo/uploads[/CODE] which gives me this error when I click on it: [b]Error: Getting Category Videos[/b] I saw another post on here that says to use this: [CODE]http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?orderby=published&author=mkdevo[/CODE] That shows me a bunch of videos, but they're not mine. They seem to be completely random. I also tried messing around with the Channels tab a bit, but couldn't figure it out.[/INDENT] [B][SIZE="4"]Question 2: With "HD" videoQuality, which HD stream are we getting?[/SIZE][/B] [INDENT]Perhaps this is a dumb question, but YouTube recently added 1080p, so anything uploaded in 1080p will have 4 different qualities available: 1080p, 720p, 480p, and 360p. Does setting videoQuality to HD give us a default of 1080p or 720p for those videos?[/INDENT] [B][SIZE="4"]Suggestion 1: Implement a "My Channel" feature.[/SIZE][/B] [INDENT]Since OnlineVideos already has Favorites as an available option using our username/password, it would be nice to also have a selectable "My Channel" option integrated as well. (This would also save me the headache of Question 1 above. ;))[/INDENT] [B][SIZE="4"]Suggestion 2: Show downloaded progress of current video.[/SIZE][/B] [INDENT]Not sure if this is even possible, but I've found that I have to just hit pause at the start of a video and wait a bit for it to download before I start watching, to avoid the annoying hiccups if the playback is faster than the download. It would be nice to see exactly where the download is at in order to decide on when to start playing the video. [/INDENT] Finally, [B]offbyone[/B], thanks so much for picking this project up and continuing work and support on it! Cheers! [/QUOTE]
