    Hello guys,

    I noticed that a lot of sites have their own channel on youtube. I know how I can subscribe to these channels and how they are using YouTube in online videos to watch ..

    What I want is to add new sites, so whenever I start up online videos, go to my own language, they are directly between, though I have to go to youtube.

    I don't know how I need to add .. Because the videos on youtube finally just appear, it seems to me that I can use that same information online youtube videos used to display ..

    Can anyone tell me how I can add youtube channels as new site?

    Best regards,

    Marcel

    EDIT: By example: This youtube channel is one of those I like to add: http://www.youtube.com/tweakers#g/u But I have no idea how to do.. Can seomone explain that to me?

    Hi there powermarcel10, my greetz to the Netherlands and sorry for my English :)
    not sure if you are still looking for a solution. I proposed a workaround at russian MP forum, Online Videos, maybe you'll find this useful:
    You may actually use OV configurator to add new site, as genericsite, add RSS feeds in a format acceptable by youtube, and then open OnlineVideos.xml (in all users/app data/team mediaportal folder) with any text editor, let's say notepad.exe (to not forget to switch off Format-> Word Wrap) - found your newly created <site> there and change util="GenericSite" param to "YouTube" (surely, you have to have YouTube general site added into your sites in the OV first)
    The cons is you will see all the default "YouTube" util feeds as well, but then you may just add your channels into Favorites.
    So, the main Q is what is RSS feed format?
    in your case, there are two:
    Code:
    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/tweakers/uploads
    and
    Code:
    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/tweakers/playlists

    note the youtube username - that's the only thing makes sense.
    you may also want to add some another types of RSS feeds for youtube - to do that, add to your sites some another "Youtube <whatever>" util - e.g. "YouTube ENG" contains many of interesting variants.
