    Is there a way to import all videos from a certain username ???

    e.g
    this is a user i would like to import 8000 videos from

    http://www.youtube.com/user/gamespot#g/u

    into my gaming section.

    Has anyone thought about this ???

    Havent tried this D, but found this clip on creating a RSS feed from user specific on YouTube
    http://video.answers.com/how-to-create-a-youtube-user-rss-feed-24491461
    so, for little work, i would scrape the feed if i were you

    Would it be just a case of adding a small script Mark ??

    Danie that works

    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/gamespot/uploads?orderby=updated&alt=rss&client=ytapi-youtube-rss-redirect&v=2

    but only shows last 20

    also how would this work for adding the actual video ??

    current feed query is this;

    $feedURL = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?vq="'.$vq.'"&orderby='.$s.'&max-results='.$i.'&start-index='.$o;

    i could be wrong but i think the username query needs to be;

    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/{put username here}/uploads

    maybe u can check and confirm? (my firewall is having issues with youtube atm)

    So with this feed

    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/gamespot/uploads

    I can add to feedwordpress and get it to upload posts but obviously the video will not add in the way MoviePress works

    if you scrape the feed as such, can convert the data to a CSV for import into MP.
    Dont know if it will be possible to get USER videos imported through MP (wd be NICE) but have noticed loads of issues and queries online re this.
    Longer work sure, but if Mark cant get this ability added with YouTube API, I have no idea how to get this into MP either. I wd use the scrape and import process.

    would it be just as quick to copy/paste the links into the mass import tool for the videos created by the user, that way you can import as you would still need to go and find the username for all users anyways, would be alittle slower but alot faster than having to rewrite any code.

    Mark, please look in to bulk import options from youtube.
    Ability to upload by playlist & user ..This saves tons of time.

    @ Damian - what does it do? What data do you get? Can it go into a WP install? Can you grab all 77 000 vids to a WP install with that plugin??????
