I love the idea of TubePress; it's just that the YouTube videos returned leaves something to be desired. A case in point:

I'm looking for videos on Coronal Mass Ejections, so I add:

[tubepress mode="tag" tagValue="coronal mass ejection"]

...to a blog post. Back come videos featuring Beyonce and other music acts. The videos have nothing to do with Coronal Mass Ejections.

However, if I put this into my browser:

http://www.youtube.c...l ...ection.rss

...I get a load of videos about Coronal Mass Ejections. So it's not a question of there not being videos available. It seems that TubePress just can't find them.

Whatever method TubePress is using to search for videos is pretty bad as I'm seeing a lot of unrelated videos for my search terms.

Is there any way to tighten up the results so they're a much better match for the search terms?

I think it would be helpful if negative keywords could be specified to filter out some types of video (just a suggestion).

I'm using the free version of the plugin, btw. Does the Pro version give better results?

Thanks,

Joe.

The next version of TubePress, due out shortly, will include greatly improved control over search-based galleries. Stay tuned!
