I'm getting this massage when i insert the [tubepress] code into a page!


Problem retrieving videos from provider: Forbidden

[Daniel Cameron]

Oh thanks for your quick and detailed reply i didn't notice the reply in inbox got the setting changed now! I will purchase this thing for sure to support this and others should to there is a lot in this plugin.

I'm unable to use this plugin as it brings this error into the page when the shortcode is entered [tubepress]. Any reason why this is happening?

Could you send a link to your gallery? Also, please make sure debugging is enabled from WP Admin > Settings > TubePress > Advanced. Feel free to PM me the link if you don't want to share it with the world.

I will! ;)

Very good.

I'm playing with a prototype gallery page here:
http://forpropertyin...blog/the-secret

I've found that initially i was in debug mode and getting no results then i turned it off and i could get only the one [tubepress] code, then purchased Pro and deleted old plugin and installed Pro but still then could not get any multiple shortcodes 'as above' in the one page. Though debug mode is on again now as instructed.

The playlists and video will all be coming from this channel www.youtube.com/ForPropertyInvestors

[eric]

Your first shortcode on the page is this:

[tubepress mode="playlist" playlistValue="87AD687ACE7A5C8"]

The syntax is correct, but the playlist ID seems to be invalid. Notice if you punch that playlist ID into youtube.com (http://www.youtube.c...87AD687ACE7A5C8) it shows up as invalid. Would you please verify the playlist ID?

I see that you entered a second shortcode with just

[tubepress]

but it is also trying to pull from that playlist and thus won't show any videos for the same reason.

So I think the solution is to first identify which playlist from http://www.youtube.c...opertyInvestors you're after. Then the rest of the details should fall into place.

[Daniel Cameron]

Would you believe that i had a 'B' missing off the beginning of the playlist. Not your fault.

Seems to be pulling in OK now... will have more of a play.

I'm loosing the video description once i increase the thumbs to around 200x200 is this difficult to fix and any way of making them spaced only three wide down the page. If i have to hardcode i think i will get lost.

[eric]

This will just take a CSS tweak. You basically have two options (in order of preference)

• Create a custom theme. You'll just need to add style.css to your theme's directory with the following contents:

  .tubepress_thumb {
      height:275px;
  }

  This is the preferred method as it will be "upgrade proof" with future versions of TubePress.
  
• Edit tubepress_pro_2_1_1/ui/themes/default/style.css and change the height of the class "tubepress_thumb" from 175px to 275px. This is easier perhaps, but isn't upgrade proof.

Let me know if you need help with either solution.

[Daniel Cameron]

I got that sorted out, thanks. Is it style.css that i have to use to make it put the big videos description and the length of it just below? Example of this code please.

The auto play is a good feature though can it be that it behaves the same as it exists now but NOT automatically playing on the first initial page loadings. So it loads the page then auto plays the big video of any small clip only once clicked.

[eric]

Both of these are features that are on the drawing board but not yet implemented. I've posted the corresponding tickets for each below. Please star the issues to show support for the idea and follow updates. Features with more votes will be implemented first. Thanks!

That's alright. Stared.

I should stop to make a note here that I am really happy with the plugin. I've been able to make a site that i have only dreamed of making for a long time. My users are going to be impressed with your plugins page display results.

Almost got everything sorted out. I have made all the individual pages of all the playlists I've made of the last 4 years. I ditched the random vid's at the top of each page idea as a tease to register to watch more in that section. Instead creating one splash page called Videos that will hopefully have a random 20 or so videos pulled in from my favorites list which has every video in it that is in the entire lot of playlists.

Have a check of the site here again (this is not the splash page):

Two issues and i think it will be sorted to show my users this week sometime. I would have thought this code would bring the favorites... have i got something wrong. I have got HD thumbs selected so i hope that can stay on.

This is for the splash page!

[tubepress mode="favorites" favoritesValue="ForPropertyInvestors" resultCountCap="20" order="random"]

Next:
Once the page loads clicking on the Next or Prev page screws the thumbs up and crams them in, no spaces and huddled together, screwing up the sizes. Go here to see it create page links:

Can you share the link of the page that is using this shortcode? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to share it publicly. We should be able to identify what's going on - your syntax looks right to me.

There's something fishy going on. Notice that if you visit http://forpropertyin...wp...nation.php, which is the file used for ajax pagination, you'll get an internal server error (500). Your PHP error log will tell us what the problem is. That file is very simple, so there's not many places where it can mess up. Please ask your hosting provider or sys admin to investigate the log for you.

Looks like the favorites for "ForPropertyInvestors" are not public. The exact error message returned by youtube is "Favorites of requested user are not public."

[Daniel Cameron]

Anyone can go to the channel and watch the favorites. I'm not aware of any setting to set favorites to public?

Maybe the solution here will work for you? http://groups.google...e-...b66789b22e

It was the settings at my YouTube channel Account > Account Settings > Recent Activity > Favorite a
video . What this setting does at YT is display in your channel also of the favorites you add, think!

Now one last thing so i can tell my public.. will have to send a message to the host.

[Daniel Cameron]

What happened to your posts from earlier i wanted to reference putting random videos in. If you use a random video for favorites it only pulls the last top 20 favorites in and can only shuffle the top twenty videos. Maybe if i use a playlist which there is one which has most the favorites in it it will pull 20 random videos in from 200 perhaps??

At the moment if i pull 20 favorites in it's going to pull the same twenty from the top in all the time. Really want to pull twenty different ones in out of 400 in the fav's or whatever each time!
