I am trying to preload several videos from a YouTube playlist, which is embedded as a single frame. Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks so much for your help!
What do you mean by "preload"?
Unfortunately, AFAIK, YouTube API doesn't provide any functionality which allows users to fetch contents manually.

I have a project which is using the YouTube API to upload videos to YouTube.
One of the requirements is to be able to add annotations to the video, either at the time of upload, or afterwards. The annotation will contain some text to display, and a link to a URL.
Does anybody know if this is possible using the YouTube API, or some other method.
If it is possible, please provide links with details of how to do this.
Thanks
Gavin
No, this was answered already here:
Manage YouTube annotations through YouTube API
If you want to do it, you'd have to do it via a browser plug-in or other tricky way such as how YouTubeAnnotations.com does it.
I would like to know if there is anyway I can set the first three videos to be shown as recommended videos for a particular video feed using youtube api.
That's not something that you can control using the YouTube API. There are no plans that I'm aware of to add in that functionality.
This is just a very basical question, because I try to implement a library in my app. So is there any way to download('make available offline') an SPTrack/SPAlbum without it being in a Playlist and if yes, how?
Will I have to make a kind of 'Library' playlist and sync it using that?
There is not — you need to make a playlist to offline sync items.
When using the YouTube api to query and retrieve videos, is there a way to limit results only official content? I want to retrieve the new music videos for certain artists but I want to make sure I am only receiving real videos and not UGC stuff. Can this be accomplished? Thank you.
There is no search parameter that ensures that you only get back "real" music videos. (And the line between a "real" video and user-generated content isn't always clear.)
I noticed in youtube page. for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&hl=en&v=Xr8vUTm64h0 on the right part of the page, there have a suggestions list.
I would like to ask: how to get this suggestions list via api if I have the current video's all the information? is it relay on a category search or use other search method? Thanks.
You're probably wanting the related videos feed.
