While most people are using TubePress.NET plugin for mass importing youtube videos to their wordpress blog using tags, others prefer to have more control over the import situation and to actually ask for the video by ID. This feature was introduced in earlier versions of this plugin, however during the recent rewrite procedure, I assumed that youtube always returns the ID of the queried video in the XML response. However it turned out after I checked the youtube API docs this morning that for queries by ID, youtube doesn’t return the ID.
Obviously, because the user already knows it… I would like to thank Mark Robertson for pointing out this problem.
I suggest that those who wish to use this function, please update your plugin. Download available as usual from the download button at your right in this website and from the WordPress plugin directory as well.
Another tip of the day: Never ASSUME anything as my old university professor used to say: “When you ASSUME, you make and ASS out of U and ME” and always check the documentation.

I get it when trying to import by ID. Also… how do I create thumbs with your plugin? Do changes apply to videos posted prior plugin? (doesnt seem to do it) Thanks a LOT!!!

Oh and here is the line it is referring to, that is on the updated version:
foreach ($xml->video_list->video as $video) {…

Look I just wanted to say that you made a great plugin, it is on of the best and thank you so much for taking your time doing this. The only problem I got is the one above when trying to add by ID.
Thank You
