I will be implementing this killa feature into our EPK, If I can get it going. Thanks for the great work!
Wrock. Let us know when it’s in place!
Hi there,
I’m a oldschooler using PHP4, waiting for ya for new version for PHP4. A new one for an old one. Is that’s cool? Keep up your good work.
Thanks
I am gona use this on my site for several pages, just wondering is this a resourse intensive thing ?
Like would it be better if we cache some stuff to make it faster and only update once a day or something ?
hello!
please tell me if i`m allowed to use adsense on this script. Thank You!
Pham Quang Hung:
Yes, we’re writing a new version for PHP4 that utilizes domXML, we should be done with it shortly.
Farhan
Farhan, we’re actually going to be writing a caching feature pretty soon built in to the class, but this is a very resourceful class, and it’s using youtube’s bandwidth — as long as you limit the number of results you get (which we do) you’ll be fine.
Razvan
I don’t understand what you’re asking exactly, but you can do whatever you want with it.
bryan thank you for your answer and sorry about my english. i want to ask you if youtube will not punish me if i use this script with adsense. thank you!
Thanks for the reply bryan.
I’ll look forward to it :)
Razvan, please just include the following somewhere on your implementation of the script and you’ll be fine:
another project by waxjelly
thnx.
hello bryan. i have this error
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/creanga/public_html/yt/youtube.class.php on line 36
This is becouse i dont have php 5 installed on my server? thank you!
Yes, Razvan. That’s exactly the problem. We’re working on a php4 version of this script, but until then, we’re only able to support php5.We also plan to build in an error-check at the beginning of the script to tell you what you’ve got installed, but for now, we just have to trust you to know how to do that.
Is there an easy way to make it display the videos of specified user instead of tag?
Brett, it’s currently restricted to tags only, we’re about to release a deluxe version along with PHP4 compatability, give it a little time. Sorry about that.
Meshach thank you for your answer
Hi,
very nice script, results on your website is great !! But i have a little problem … i’m using php4 ;-(
I read taht you were working on a php4 version.. Do you have some news about it ? I’m really waiting for it ..
Moreover, i read somewhere differences between php4 and php5. Can you explain me shortly what will be the changes you are going to do ?
-> public word
-> constructor …
Thanks in advance,
Salim
Salim, this really should be an article but a brief explanation is the packages that come pre-installed with PHP5 differ from PHP4, such as SimpleXML which is the package you need to run this script.
the public/private/protected keywords for class properties were introduced. PHP5 was really a big jump towards object-oriented progamming.
constructor’s in PHP4 used to be the name of the class itself, so for example:
class youtube {
function youtube() {
// this would be the constructor
}
}
now you can specify in PHP5
class youtube {
__constructor($var) {
}
}
$youtube = new youtube(’something’);
etc.
Hi i’ve notice that the per_page variable stop working when you made searchs with spaces between the words, like: robin hood
so i’ve changed the line 129 of youtube.class.php
old line:
youtube::modify_call($method . ‘&dev_id=’ . $this->config['api_key'] . $this->tag);
new line:
youtube::modify_call($method . ‘&per_page=’.$this->config['per_page'].’&dev_id=’ . $this->config['api_key'] . $this->tag);
Hi,
Very nice plug-in. Is PHP4 there yet?
Is this script available for php4 version?
Very good script.
When php4 version will be available?
Vaibhav… soon. We promise.
Emulatore… Thanks for the bug fix. We’ll get that implemented as soon as we can.
Coming soon… “PHP4 vs PHP5: what’s the diff, and why should you care?”
hi, i might’ve founded an error
search for rocket and you will see that there are 1175 pages avaible: http://waxjelly.com/dev_code/youtube_api/?tag=rocket
go to page 1170 and there we have errors:
http://waxjelly.com/dev_code/youtube_api/?page=1170&tag=rocket
the errors i got were:
Notice: Undefined index: video_list in /home/11241/domains/waxjelly.com/html/dev_code/youtube_api/youtube.class.php on line 193
Notice: Undefined index: video_list in /home/11241/domains/waxjelly.com/html/dev_code/youtube_api/youtube.class.php on line 205

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/11241/domains/waxjelly.com/html/dev_code/youtube_api/index.php on line 37
We do actually know about this bug. It’s just telling you that there is no default tag being set. We’ve fixed this in the new class, coming soon.
In other news, it helps us out tremendously if you digg our stuff (hint, hint).
Hi!
Thanks for the great script!
I’m calling it like by doing this:
$yt = new youtube();
$res = $yt->videos($artist)
..
I then display with:
..
every so often I get the following error:
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.youtube.com/api2_rest?method=youtube.videos.list_by_tag&dev_id=zZsCGc6qzGY&tag=Andrea Bocelli&page=1&per_page=4) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error in /vhost/home/test/test/var/www/html/beta/test/search/youtube/youtube.class.php5 on line 173

Any suggestions on why this happens are greatly appreciated - it happens for varying $artist values..
p.s: I’m trying to get only 1 return value -
and I have the per_page set to 1 or 2 - not sure it works with 1 actually..
what’s the best way to do that and avoid my error? i.e. only return 1 hit?
Thanks!
Fantastic job! It works great.
One thing tho, I tried setting paginate to show 9 vids, it does on first page but other pages revert to 20.
Also when I click on a video to view it on a page past page 1, I can waych it but pages revert back to page 1.
Any fix or did I do something wrong?
Thanks!
waxjelly thinkin build a ajax version of this class?
Your sourcecode files have error, your sample url working.
Im install this files, when i select any video, page refreshing and going to page 1, why ?
I wrote a version for PHP4. It has the following usage:
$yt = new YouTube($dev_id);
$title = $yt->getVideoTitle(’FoSdgbI6PKs’);
$img_urlk = $yt->getVideoThumbnail(’FoSdgbI6PKs’);
unset($yt);
I don’t have it posted live on any server, but if you want it, free feel to email me at info [at] fantasyhiphop [dot] com
youtube.class.php has NO troubles looking for 1 word at a time, but when looking for more it crashes.
I’ve just replaced the spaces with “+” using this in the part (line 123, i guess):
//YOU TUBE VIDEO METHODS
case BY_TAG:
if (isset($_GET['tag']))
{
$tag_nuevo=str_replace(” “,”+”,$_GET['tag']);
$this->tag = ‘&tag=’ . $tag_nuevo;
}
that’s it!!
BUT it crashes AGAIN when i look for
“axl rose usa tour 1990″
showing the error:
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/website/public_html/youtube.class.php on line 197
and I’m still trying to discover the reason.
That’s all folks, i hope i can help fixing more of this great source of code. ciao
Haven’t used it, but I feel compelled to point out a simple trick. Instead of determining rows via incrementing i and checking if it’s equal to the number of columns desired and then resetting it, you can use a for loop and do this instead:
if (!$i % 3) echo “”;
You can also do something like this if it fits what you need (it’ll automatically create a new td for each i unless i%3==0, then it will close the td, close the tr, and open a new row and td):
echo (!$i % 3) ? “” : “”;
Hope someone finds this useful.
Great script which worked perfectly on my local dev setup but collapsed when uploaded to Dreamhost. Fix is below…
If you are getting message “Warning: fopen(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration”, then allow_url_fopen is set to off in php_ini.
An alternative is to use the CURL extension (which you may need to install). Works a treat.
CHANGE THIS
// SEND REQUEST
$this->return = file_get_contents(youtube::return_call());
TO THIS
// SEND REQUEST
if(function_exists(”curl_init”)){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL,youtube::return_call());
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
ob_start();
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$string = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$this->return = $string;
} else {
$this->return =file_get_contents(youtube::return_call());
}

Not english bug
get error if Tag or search none english.
I would like to have this in a php4 version.
Hey Peeps,
I’ve been looking for a script like this for abit. However needed it in PHP4 so I converted it over and works pretty good. Now looking to clean up code and add a few features. I’ve radically changed the design and some of the code. Let me know what you think:
http://zombiesocial.com
I have a question, if someone can help me with it. This is a great script, but it does everything on the index page, what about the idea that, by clicking on some video, it takes to the single page and shows the video there?
something like
http://xyz.com/showvideo.php?video_id=xxx
can someone help with it?
Hey,
Has anybody fixed the multiple search term bug? If you type two words in the tag search or in the code itself, it crashes. You can get around it by using a ‘+’ between each term. This works great until you goto ‘prev’ or ‘next’. It then crashes again.
It also crashes if you try it in the demo here :-
http://waxjelly.com/dev_code/youtube_api/?tag=mutemath
I have tried the fix by postnip above but that returns this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /youtube.class.php on line 126
Any ideas anybody?
Thanks
Hello,
Ignore the above message. I had used copy-paste of the code in postnips’ message. After going through and changing the ‘ ” etc it worked just fine!
Thanks
Number in left had corner. Does anybody know why when you click on a link it displays it’s # in the top left corner? Using IE7. Does it on demo and on my site too.
Thanks!
Hi, is it possible to get this to work on a Group instead on searching a tag?
And what about that php4 version? Does anyone know where to go to download it???
Bob,
Can u pls post your solution here. I try to fix the multi-keyword search with no success. Ty
So has the php4 project been given up on? Does anyone have an update?
To fix the problem with errors on multiple word searches just do this:
1. Open youtube.class.php
2. Replace line 125 with “$this->tag = ‘&tag=’ . str_replace(” “, “+”, $_GET['tag']);” (without first and last “)
3. Done
You can try it out at http://www.david.nu/youtube/
Waxjelly: Cool script! Will get in handy on my new project… Will let you know when it’s done!
Ty David,
it works this update but all keywords u input have to be in youtube database (must be valid tags) otherwise u get an error, i mean, try the keyword “m4m4″ for example. It will give the 193 line error.
Anyway i am trying to use it in a different way but have the problem of youtube only send you information for the first 1000 matches per API call by tag. I mean, the word “car” will return 19142 pages but you know that page 41 will give error ( assuming the 25 records per pag ).
Is there anyway we can only limit the ( prev and next ) to show only until pag 40. As i am not a coder this seems like a complex thing to do and i do not know where on the youtube.class.php where to tune.
Ty for any tip and help,
Pedro

any idea?
Forget it, I fixed it. The cut and paste created incorrect ‘ and ”
$this->tag = ‘&tag=’. str_replace(” “, “+”, $_GET['tag']);
Great script
any idea how to solve these two problems
in ie explorer 7 when you click on a thumbanil for some reason the css background gets unread (the demon here does it as well) just the background it seems?? it works all fine in firefox
Now one solution is to bring the include in the index into the body, if you want the script to work as is this is a fix for ie.
However and please help! a main wish for me is title on each page, so how can i get the title of the movie in the head and show on top of page, if I move the include out of where it is now I can no longer get the code to provide an auto title.
i have tried the
Anyone have this for PHP4 yet?
Johno - I found the way to correct this is to align the DIV to center. That will fix it.
Excelent!,
now, u know how can i upload videos?
…any help for how i can limit the pagination in order to show only the 1000 entries that youtube API limits.
“I mean, the word “car” will return 19142 pages but you know that page 41 will give error ( assuming the 25 records per pag ).”
php help pls?
ty
Pedro
Thanks bleucube
Anyone know the fix for pamps?
Also when you click a thumbnail the page reverts back to the original thumbnails, is there not a way of keeping at the new page thumbs?
@Bleucube: you’ve made such a nice solution on your zombiecentral page - any chance you will share your wisdom with the many of us longing to make this work in PHP4? I’ve been trying to cludge something together using bits and pieces from various sources and it’s so close but no cigar. Even if it isn’t perfect, it would probably help us a whole lot! Thanks in advance!
Send me an email bleucube @ gmail.com for php4 version that includes most fixes list here and additional functions.
Sweet!!! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for :D Thanks for this!!
One other thing, the script gives errors if the search term has spaces. Editing this line of code fixed it:
public function return_call() {
/*this line*/ return str_replace(” “, “%20″, $this->api_call);
}
You might want to replace that with $clean = urlencode($this->api_call);
MrKryptic are you using the php5 or original version? So far I haven’t came across any problems with spaces.
Any idea how to correct the script to produce special language characters. like the fada in gaelic or the german umlet.á é í ó ú
example try the tag gaeilge on the demo and then on youtube
http://waxjelly.com/dev_code/youtube_api/?tag=gaeilge
http://youtube.com/results?search_query=gaeilge&search=
all the special characters as it is now come out as code
Anyonw know how to fix it so it comes out as ordinary text
also the page is never ending
example it may say page 1 of 3 but you can keep clicking indefinate but page is same. search engines may not list any site that repeats identical content.
Damn I didn’t even notice that pages will continue for ever. Even if you have only 1 page of results it will list list pages constantly. I think SE’s will classify them as duplicate content.
search engines (google) will put the pages into supplemental at best, as the script stands that is definate.
anyone know how to make the script produce clean html for special characters in languages? things like á é come out as bad code right now.
i will work on the pages and answers if someone can do the above.
I worked with the scrip alot more. Was able to do some customizing on it so far on 1 of my sites. Even if the same video is looked at the page has different text so that it doesn’t have duplicate pages. Also added SEO urls and dynamic page titles and stuff like that. Was also able to protect the script some so that I can put duplicate copies up on different domains and servers. That’s for this script.
Sounds very good Zaiaku
Can you share these updates?
You guys :) We’re going to revise the PHP5 version to be as bug-free as possible from all of your comments, and release the first version of the PHP4 YouTube API. Yes we know we’ve said that 3, or 4 times, but we realy put a lot of TLC into this next release.
Stay tuned.
Sounds great Bryan.
Is it possible for in between the wothwhile wait to get the corrected code to limit the pages. so if it says 1 of 6 then only 6 pages will be available.
Maybe I should wait to you all release the updated versions to make sure the no confliccs. Then include the changes I made.
Zaiaku, just give me a list of the stuff you modified and I’ll be sure to note your changes when we finalize the dev work.
The 3 main ones where:
Video Title is page title
Video Description is page description
SEO urls
I was able to intergrate your script with some forum scripts but I don’t use many of them. Just vbulletin and phpbb. I only did that so people could post them into forum posts.
Hey do you guys have any time frame for the next release ?
Can you please post the code to make
This:
http://www.mysite.com/youtube/?video_id=MDvlbmI1Q6I
To this:
http://www.mysite.com/youtube/?video_id=MDvlbmI1Q6I&tag=mytag&page=1
when i click on the video my link show only the ?video_id
Can you help me to show &tag &page?
Thanks
Nice code
Can anyone send me the full code have on this link?
http://waxjelly.com/dev_code/youtube_api/
The download link is not the same have here
The updating the code. Give them time to post a new link with all the fixes.
I found a quick and dirty fix to make the script output special characters like æ, ø, ë, é etc.
Around line 96, just before the code “return $array;”, add these two lines of code:
$array["title"]=utf8_decode($array["title"]);
$array["description"]=utf8_decode($array["description"]);
To str_replace work on my site i have changed
This:
$this->tag = ‘&tag=’ . str_replace(” “, “+”, $_GET[’tag’]);
To:
$this->tag = ‘&tag=’ . str_replace(” “, “+”, $_GET['tag']);
nice one gavetips
thank
And sorry to my post above….here have str_replace to LOL
If you put this code before …not work
Place the code ABOVE “return $array;”
There’s a diffrent between those too lines?
Well done gavetips, works. thank you.
anyone know how to limit the thumb page search so it sticks to the actual pages available, so for example 1 0f 6 has only 6 viewable pages.
Can anyone send the code of video_id=***&tag=***&page=***
The demo is not the same as the zip file

Bug?
No fixes?
YEs its very buged
When i search for “u2″ its show the videos of “u2″ , but when i click on video its get php errors “undefined index” and its back to public function videos($data = ‘xxx’, $method = BY_TAG) {
they will be releasing a new version with all the bug fixes. There will be a new story post about it.
hi, this is a nice script thnx. we are waiting for your new version.
If you post the incomplete code maybe i can increase the code to work fine.
You’ll proably have to get someone to uploa the old version to do that.
No updates?
when you release the next version?
Some tips for all…
When the user put on search letter like ÇÁã etc…the script crash……To fix it go to index.php
Find:
And put ABOVE:
-1))
return true;
else
return false;
}
//–>
Find:
Change to:
Sorry….my code don´t appear here…
Not that anyone has used charcters like that on my pages but would be nice to cover all basis just incase.
When you search a video and this video come with that title format:
the_video_is_very_long_name_with_underlines
your page crash…
to fix it open youtube.class.php and find:
//Add a simple element
$array[$key] = $child;
}
$fils++;
}
if($fils==0) {
return (string)$xml;
}
And put below
$array['title']=str_replace(”_”, ” “,($array['title']));
This seems to be only for the PHP5 version. I haven’t came across this issue with the PHP4 but good fine. Bryan did state that he will do his best to include all fixes in the next version.
waiting for the “video_id=***&tag=***&page=***” code… i’ve tried to get it by myself, but i couldn’t get it right….
Ok..its not finaly code but you can use provisory..
On index.php find on line 41:
‘?video_id={$v['id']}’
And change to:
‘?video_id={$v['id']}&tag=”.str_replace(” “, “+”, $_GET['tag']).”&page=”.YOUTUBE_PAGE.”‘
But don´t forget to access the link with :
?tag=xxx
http://www.yoursite.com/thesource/?tag=xxx
Because im waiting for the finaly source to.
and 1 more tip
On index.php find on line 26:
Change to:
“>
Its get the tag every page when you click on video and stay on the same tag!
God….Sorry…i can´t post codes here…..because here have strip_tags lol
Look my Printscreen
http://morllaines.com/imagehost/out.php?i=266_code.jpg
I found a new site and i think they are using the script. Maybe they will help some of you with a few issues. site: http://www.ThisAintIt.com go to their video link
thanks
Dana
interesting thank you…
car deal enterprise rent alaska fishing lodge for sale
Dana that uses a totally different script.
Morpheu: Thanks, it’s wrong, but now I got, the correct is:
This:
‘?video_id={$v[’id’]}’
Change to this:
‘?video_id={$v['id']}&tag={$_GET['tag']}&page={$_GET['page']}’
worked fine here, unless if you use 2 words tag
another bug of my code, it doesn’t work on index… until you click on next page..
when you do a search http://www.thisaintitvideos.com/search.php?tag=test it uses the same script. The source code is the exact same as this one.
thanks
Its not the same script trust me. It uses a similar method for getting the video but its a diffrent script all together.
One big different is that Brian script is only using 1 page. And really only uses 2 files. The script that site is using is the same as topvideoshare version 1.5. That’s why the search page is search.php and the video page is watch.php
No updates?:
is it possible to get code for page numbering problems now.
I’m not sure if Bryan is addressing that or not in the next version. There will be alot of fixes implemented. Where ever he leaves off at someone else will add their on fixes after the new version.
OK thanks for the info of future updates.
Has anyone got the pagination fix now?
Hi Wax can you send me a working version or the latest version I would gladly appreciate it.

Has anyone been able to solve this?

Anyone managed to integrate this with code igniter at all?
Please can someone tell me how to fix the pagination problem.
the update says
[quote]Page numbers are inaccurate, and don’t allow you to go to the last page because of numbering issues
* This was caused by YouTube displaying x amount of videos per page, and us/you having a different number of results per page, for example compared to YouTube’s 20 results per page. So while there would be 3149 pages, there’s really not that many because you either have MORE videos per page than YouTube does, or you have way less, either way this has been fixed by dividing the total number of videos by the amount of videos you want per page.

any fix please.
I am trying to debug the class now.
When the result from youtube is only one video I get an empty result and when the result is empty I get an error.
Can someone please tell me what this line does:
return (string)$xml;
I am probably to stupid, but will this line return?
***Problems with pages***
I am working on fixing this. I found the problem and the problem is youtube doesnt service more than a thousand videos per search. So if you have 20 per page you can only go to page 50. At 51 it will error out. So the scripting that Im going to work on will limit the results to 1000 per search. So keep that in mind on how many you choose to have on your page.
Nice find. 1000 search limit should be easy to cap off. Thanks for the find.
Anybody managed to get the pagination solved?
Can someone figure out how to take the youtube embedd code and replace it with your own site? At the same time displaying for others to copy and paste?
What is te final fix for the multie word search issue? I can’t get it to work!
I’m mostly using the php4 version. I have’t done much work with php5 version so can’t help you fix that.
I love this script.
Is there anyway to do the same thing with GodTube.com?
Jereme
I managed to get the script working bug free and it compliments my youtube video downloader script now! Great script…love it.
i love it :) thank you!
Hi every one where can I get the script?

bleucube, you have not got it bugfree. your pagination is still endless.
This is probably a simple question, but I just can’t find the answer, I ‘m using the script for php4 from bleucube and on after a user searched for videos, I want a sentence in which I repeat what the user searched for. What is the variable I should echo? $tag and $tags and many others I tried are all undefined?!
Love the script.
I am using bleucube’s version and it works great. I worked around the 1000 limit by putting 99 videos per page and wrapping them in a scrollable div. For my purposes this works great.
Now the only issue I have left is this error.
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/whatwou/public_html/uketube/youtube.class.php on line 486
I get it whenever I search for tags that aren’t in the youtube database. If I could get this error fixed then I could set the script up to hide all php errors and it would just show 0 results when the tag is not available.
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this issue. I am so close to having this working the way I want it. :)
Check it out here.

Thanks in advance, Jereme
http://www.TheJesusTV.com
If you put “jijfoejfoeri” or “auto ufhiur” you will find php error in search because youtube returns no match.
Is there anyway to prevent this?
think that, unless this is fix, it is no use to use this script..
@pamps
Yes, I agree! This is definitely an issue that limits the use of the script.
Hoping for a fix, Jereme
http://www.TheJesusTV.com
Ok, I have got it all working the way that I want it to.
I moved the script to a server that is using php4 and now if I search for a tag that is not in the YouTube database I just get no results without the error.

Thanks bleutube!
I used your version on the Joplin CrashPad and it worked perfectly! Only took a few minutes to install and customize and does everything you said. Is there a way maybe to get it so that if you hover your mouse over the thumbnails it will give a description?
I haven’t made a link to it yet, because I just got done, but here’s a direct link:
http://www.crashjoplin.com/joplintubepad/index.php
Thanks again, bleubuddy!
NM, I figured it out. To get it to display the thumbnail video’s title when you hover your mouse over the thumbnail, find the line in index.php that starts out:
echo “‘><img src=’{$v['thumbnail_url']}’
and add:
title = ‘{$v['title']}’ right behind it.
Great API!

@CrashDaddy
Thanks for the title code!!!

Sorry for the duplicate post, but the code snippet keeps getting blocked. You can send me an email at jeremehancock at whatwouldjesusdownload dot com and I would be happy to share the code with you.
Thanks, Jereme
Hi Jereme thankyou for your reply. Please have a look at the mail i sent to you. Hope you’ll give reply.
Thanks, siyon
@Siyon
No problem, I just sent the code to your email.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks, Jereme
SORRY INGONRE THAT ABOVE…. I meant this:
LOCATE:
$this->return = file_get_contents(youtube::return_call());
ADD AFTER:
$str = $this->return;
if (preg_match(”/youtube.com/i”,)) {
// echo “A match was found.”;
} else {
echo “A match was not found.”; //redirect or whatever, show error….
}
Hi Jereme, You’re doing some good things with this code. I like the cat site! If you’re not too busy spending all that Google ca$h you’ve GOT to be raking in with those sites, I sure wouldn’t mind getting ahold of your download code.
My email address is crashdaddy62@yahoo.com and thanks for the excellent mods!
Oops, sorry, the cat site is Bluecube’s, the Ukulele site is Jereme’s…they both rock.
DorkDaddy
@CrashDaddy,
Thanks for your kind words. The http://www.UkuleleVideos.com site is a combination of ooglester’s script and some other free youtube download scripts that are available online.
You can send me an email at jeremehancock at whatwouldjesusdownload dot com and I will send you some of the resources that I used.
Thanks, Jereme
Also, folks please keep in my that this script does not use the new Gdata api. This api WILL expire in August. I’m working on a new one with Gdata that uses java (no php). Hope to release it shortly. Will post it up on ooglester.com

When a video is selected from the thumbnails the number of the video is displayed in the top left corner.
Does anyone know how to change this so it does not display the number? Thanks
yes, you should remove an “echo” command that shows that number. Now i don’t remember where it is, but it is easy to find.
i want to ask you all if you know how to change the video sorting order. I want to show the most recent uploaded videos and not the most relevants.
Thanks sgrunt I found it. It worked a treat. Thanks again.
Hey guys,
I get an white screen if i search something without results..

Hi
need the script for the “youtube.class.php” which has the code for “No videos matched your criterias ” and the paging problem..
@metoome
I just sent you and email explaining how I did it.
Thanks, Jereme
http://www.MythTube.com
Jereme
Please could you email me the same guide.
a few of us have been trying but no luck
@john
It is really not that complicated. I simply gave the div a background image that says “video not found”. The image is always displayed, but is only visible when there are no videos listed.
To get the PHP error I had to use ooglester.com’s version of the script on a PHP server.
Hope that will help.
Thanks, Jereme
http://www.UkuleleVideos.com
Thanks Jereme, i will look into it..
but how about the paging problem..when am on the 5th page.. and if click any of the vedio , then the vedio comes play’s on the right side.. and the contents on the left returns back to first page..
how to solve this.. ?
Thanks..
ooglester.com is dosn’t work! :( Can any one send me this script? de-at-amik.ru
Thanks!
@Lexa
I have purchased ooglester.com and am in the progress of re-vamping it. So keep checking back.
Thanks, Jereme
http://www.UkuleleVideos.com
The new http://www.ooglester.com is now available. The new site focuses on a new script that uses the new YouTube API.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks, Jereme
http://www.ooglester.com
Jereme can I sell this script if I create a new template for it? Your rad me doesn’t mention anything about what rights users have to this. Also, is this bug free?
@re
Yes feel free to use the script however you like. I would appreciate it if you would leave the “Powered By: ooglester.com” but that is up to you.
Thanks, Jereme
Jereme; New script looks great! :) But I have some problems, main page and paging works fine. But other pages will not work, just getting a blank page there.
This works fine:
http://www.mydomain.com/ooglester/demo/
http://www.mydomain.com/ooglester/demo/video/GuMMfgWhm3g/extreme-funny.html
http://www.mydomain.com/ooglester/demo/Funny/page2.html
This works not:
http://www.mydomain.com/ooglester/demo/Funny-Music/
http://www.mydomain.com/ooglester/demo/video/rAYkbmjk3Es/Cool-N-Funny-Music-Video.html
http://www.mydomain.com/ooglester/demo/Funny-Movies/page2.html
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Jereme,
Thanks for the script. I would like to change a few things but need some guidance. First, I would like to pull the most recent videos for each keyword. It looks like the script is pulling based on relevance. Second, i would like each page to have a keyword which does NOT include the front page keyword.
I am learning PHP, but the script is way past my level. If you could give me some pointers, it would be apprecieated.
Mike
I figured out how to change the order. I am stuck on the second part. Also the additional pages always always add funny to the front. I can’t make them use my keyword.
I found some of the template files (header & detail) are pulling images from your server.
@Mike
I am not sure how to set it up to pull the most recent videos first. That is a good idea and I will try to look into it.
As for having “pages” with different keywords that is fairly easy. In the ReadMe file you should see instructions for editing certain files to include the main page keyword. You can easily just remove these.
Take a look at it and let me know if that makes sense.
Jereme
UkuleleVideos.com
@Mike
How did you change the order?
Thanks for letting me know about the images being pulled from my server. I have updated the demo.zip package.
Take a look at the files listed in the ReadMe file that you are instructed to edit and you should see where you can remove the main page or default keyword from the other links.
Just let me know if you need more help and I can email you the changes.
Thanks, Jereme
http://www.ooglester.com
Jereme,
Changing the order - Line 9 of /lib/services.php contians the GDATA API call. One of the parameters appended to the URL is ‘orderby’ which allows you cange the order. The full description of the parameters is here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/reference.html#VideoFeeds
There is some thing wrong with my menu. I made all the changes in the readme, but it is still using ‘funny’
Can we bring the discussion over to the DP forums? I hate having long threads in blogs. especially in a third-parties dead blog. this thing could go down like the titanic.
i don’t understand some site have only 2 file and display all video but some script more file and this is not work perfect.
@mikedd
Thanks for finding that. I knew it was somewhere but I could not recall where. I have changed the demo and demo.zip package to come that way by default.
Yes, I agree it would be easier to discuss this somewhere else. If you would like you can email me at jeremehancock (at) whatwouldjesusdownload (dot) com or you can start a DP forum thread and let me know the link.
@ashish
I honestly have no idea what you are asking or saying.
Sorry, Jereme
http://www.MythTube.com
Hi Jereme,
Have recently installed your ooglester.com script but have a couple of problems, the right hand links and the video tags take me to a blank page?
Do you have any ideas of what might be causing the problem? Video page found here: http://www.aberystwyth-online.co.uk/video/
Thanks for the Script!
@Aberystwyth
Did you upload the .htaccess file located in the ooglester_demo_v1.2 folder? I believe this may be why you are having the problem.
Let me know if that fixes it.
I am glad to hear that you like the script. I like the way you have integrated it into your site.
Thanks, Jereme
http://www.ooglester.com
Hi Jereme,
Yes the .htaccess file is upload, and have followed your instructions in the read me file, so I’m not sure what I am doing wrong?
This is what is in the .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
#detail page
RewriteRule ^video/(.*)/(.*).html detail.php?vid=$1
#other page, process in list.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^.* list.php
Any help much appreciated.
http:www.aberystwyth-online.co.uk
@Aberystwyth
Hmm, I am not sure what is going on then.
I have simply extracted the demo package and made the one change to the init.php file and it is working perfectly. There is someone else saying they are having the same issue so something is wrong.
You can see the demo test that I did by simply extracting the package here.
http://www.whatwouldjesusdownload.com/ooglester/ooglester_demo_v1.2/
Jereme
Hi Jereme,
Have just downloaded and installed the script within a different folder with the same results as the first, right hand links, video tags and search taking me to a blank page?
There’s probably a very simple solution but I do not know what… arrrr
Best Regards
http://www.aberystwyth-online.co.uk
hi there,
how could you use modwrite with the youtube results?
instead of: ?video_id=164FFF
USE: my-videos-164FFF.php (164FFF is the video ID )
??regards and thanks a lot.
Hai jereme,
You did a good job in your new version.
However would it be possible to make it more simpel ?
I mean the earlier older version was easy to set up into your own (php cms) design.
This version is completed and too much for uses into a cms.
I would be nice to have only two files again ( a class and a example page )
Thanks for all your work
@ceasar
I appreciate your kind words. I understand your desire to have a simpler script. However, the new script is a complete rewrite of the script. I am not the original owner of the ooglester site or script. I purchased the site and script and am working to develop the site and script with the new YouTube API in mind.
For those who have been having trouble with the blank results. I have released v1.3 of the script that should fix the issue. The script was having trouble on servers running PHP 4. I have made a few changes and have tested the script on both PHP 4 and PHP 5.
Please let me know if you have any trouble with the newest release.
Thanks, Jereme
http://www.ooglester.com
Hi Jereme,
FANTASTIC!!! Your upgrade to the script has done the trick, now works great, take a look at the link:
http://www.aberystwyth-online.co.uk/video/fun/
Very simple script to install and customise to suit your sites layout, thanks for working out the problem and correcting it :-)

1.3 does in fact fix my blank page errors but has it been discussed the problem with the Next page issue?
lets say the tag has 16 results - at 5 vids per page i get Next page up to page3 - Page3.html does not add the Next page option to get to Page4…BUT Page4.html exists and i can load it.
Thanks for a great script
@Alan
Thanks for letting me know how it is going.
I am not able to recreate the issue that you are having with the Next page option.

hi again, have anybody used mod write with this API ?
Id appreciate any help.
regards
You say that you will be making a java version I hope not, tell ya the truth I prefer php java crashes ones browser quite often or do you just mean with some java script or ajax helpers, added but you said somthing like no php I think thats a big mistake in my opin
I would love to see a version thats like the old php class that we all love, but uses the new api and is coded in php I do not like java aps at all please think about a php version that continues where the old class left off, as I made some fantastic mods based on the orig class for a client and realy need a php version …
Would be fantastic if thers a drop in replacement so we don’t have to change much if we develped a full script around the org class which im sure many of us have …
Anyone else agree with me on this?
DC
hi jereme, i have download and installed your script trying to fit it at my website, you can check the demo at: nirvana-tributo.net/videos-youtube/index.php ,but Im gonna fit it at nirvana-tributo.net/videos-nirvana.html, Ill work on it later, now I wanna get more nirvana related videos like at videos-nirvana.html,something else, when I click on a video title,it cant be played,no video player is seen,why?
regards
@nt
Looks great.
