I'm using Zune and I want to be able to add, as a podcast, all the videos from a youtube user.
But after trying several scripts/services (PHP, Yahoo! Pipes, etc.) it turns that the different podcast generators work fine but when I try to download a video there is an error.
Do you know any script (PHP, JavaSCript, c#, etc.) or any online service that can be used successfully with Zune?
Thanks in advance.

Check out http://www.ytpodcaster.com
Enter the youtuber's username, click 'get feed', and you'll be presented with options for iTunes, Zune, Other, RSS.
Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you.

There is a Twitter user who posts valuable stuff and I want to save his tweets not as text but as images (screenshots) just as you see it on your phone or computer.
I installed python-twitter and tweepy but I didn't find a solution in the docs and neither in communities so far.
Alternatively: Is there another way to save tweets in a kind of pretty, visually appealing way?
Thank you in advance.
With those libraries you can only extract Twitter data. Those aren't image processing libraries. You will have to write your own logic how you want those pictures displayed.
Look into Pillow.
I usually use this site called tweetcyborg.com It converts any tweet into an image.
I figured it out. Using Selenium Webdriver to open the Twitter account page in the browser, then scrape the tweets and use a screenshot tool to make an image. This looping through all tweets.
I test with browser with the link I get from "http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=xx" to see if it is be able to download.
After remove some parameters from original link, some works but some still don't.
I read some post here but most of are pretty old. A lot of change since then.
I wonder if there are somebody working on this recently.
The purpose I need this is because my youtube view program need a better quality video to display.
This is link doesn't work:

What wrong with it? I removed fallback_path and replace sig with signature.
The working link is for webm. This is for h264. Both have the same kind of parameters.
And this is working now.

That's not a supported method of interacting with YouTube. You need to use one of the official YouTube Player mechanisms to display YouTube videos.
Please familiarize yourself with the YouTube API Terms of Service if you have any more questions.
I'm developing an iOS app that generate video files and have a social gallery for users to display their clips. After a lot of research I found that Google Drive would be perfect to fit my needs so I did some testing and sucessfully made the app upload the file to GDrive and everything.
Now I need to stream the uploaded file in a MPMoviePlayerViewController, for that I would need some kind of direct link, I'm right? After my initial tests I used the variable WebContentLink as a source URL and it worked flawlessly, I was really happy with the result, however now it doesn't work anymore, I don't know what happened and I think the method that I used is not realiable? I tried all the other possible links and none of them seems to work.
Can someone give a guidance about if this is really supported by Google Drive and how it's the best way to archive that in a reliable way?
Thank you very much !
I too encounter the same error when I try to download 28 times (testing) the same 24mb file.
However I realise if I am to download using the content owner ID, it does allow downloading after the 28th time

Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time.
Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently. Please try accessing the file again later. If the file you are trying to access is particularly large or is shared with many people, it may take up to 24 hours to be able to view or download the file. If you still can't access a file after 24 hours, contact your domain administrator.
The experience for streaming files natively is not ideal right now, sorry. It is something Google are working on.
You are doing this correctly though. The webContentLink should use the user's quota, and that should be enough for most cases. If you can give some specific numbers, we can look at it.
The embed link is the best way to show it on a mobile device, but as you say won't work everywhere.
yes, google drive can be used for hosting and stream videos as you like. It can also be used as demo server for web projects. Here is how to host a website on Google drive.
I have a website where I want to basically allow people to display several youtube videos onto the same page.
For example, I have a friend who has 3 different videos. Instead of sending a link to the three videos individually, they would go to my site see the 3 search boxes, search for the videos individually (the search is done on youtube), then they can pick the videos and click "done", at which point, the 3 videos would be embedded on their page.
I'm trying to figure out how to approach this in ruby on rails, but I'm not finding much information on how.
Here's a link from 2009 of a guy who's saying that he can actually do the search and retrieve from youtube: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=30443
But I don't know how to do the search & retrieve, and I don't know how to do the embed. I think I can figure out the embed, but what's the best way to do the search/display results?
Thanks a lot for your help stackoverflow, you're my only hope (besides google, but google failed me today).
all you need to know about the search feature is described in YouTube Data Api. You will need your app to communicate with this API. The best thing to do may be to look after a gem specialized in this ; there is a list available in another StackOverflow question.
I want to embed the latest image uploaded to yFrog for a particular user on another site. They appear to have recently launched a widget, and I've found some talk of RSS feeds. But everything relating to them seems to have been pulled from the yFrog site recently. Any ideas?
You should try implementing a Yahoo! Pipe using Twitter and yFrog API to generate an RSS. Here is mine: http://pipes.yahoo.com/norbertcsik/twitter_images
It looks like they used to support, but it doesn't look like it works anymore.
For evidence, see this and this.
