I have an issue where youtube video list won't work

IE - None appears under any of the pre-loaded casters, and adding a new youtube link fails saying it is 'Error parsing video channel'

Fantastic job. Any chance of a non paypal donation system? I'd quite like to be able to say i donated to a powerhouse of the esports world when it was in beta :p

Hey bro I LOVE this application. Absolutely amazing job :D

But I ran into a problem with Own3d.tv streams, when you add via the drag/drop method you implement, the name is the Own3d.tv stream code not the name of the channel. Is there any way you could fix that? Maybe an easier rename system or something?

Thanks guys, i already started working on next release which will introduce subscription catalogs, where you'll be able to choose streams, video channels and feeds from a large selection of collections.

Progress update: upcoming version introduces subscription catalogs where it'll provide a large collection of hand-picked subscriptions - to easly let you get started.

[image loading]

It's used by feeds, videos and streams modules as of right now and as we allow suggestions, the catalog will grow with your feedbacks.

This version (0.18.x) will be the last feature-freeze in the series and 0.19.x will introduce a future-freeze and will stabilize things and release the stable version (0.20.x). Upcoming 0.3x series will introduce brand new modules.

Btw, i started creating up the catalogs and now looking forward to suggestions for streams, videos and feeds on catalog.

You can check the current catalog definitions here;
streams: http://blizztv.googlecode.com/svn/catalog/streams/catalog.xml
videos: http://blizztv.googlecode.com/svn/catalog/videos/catalog.xml
feeds: http://blizztv.googlecode.com/svn/catalog/feeds/catalog.xml

Please check them and if you think it lacks a great stream, video channel or feed, please let me know so i can add them.
