prepopulating content form existing YouTube videos? - vBTube.com

I love the ability to add a YT link and video, but there are already hundreds of videos on YT that I want to SEED my forum with. Is this possible? Or does each one have to be added manually?

You can use the YouTube browser for this although I think it could be better ( It should have check boxes in search results ).

If you know the name of the channel you wish to add video regularly. Enter that channel name. I have made myself a couple channel names. When I create content, I give it one extremely original tag. After I've uploaded about 50 vids to youtube, I then go to my channel and search by the original tag. Once I've completed a search on a few by that tag, I go back to my YT browser. I enter that tag as my search. All of my video populates and I add each one to my site with one click.

The YouTube browser can work to get content up on your site rather quickly. Igotregistered, (odd username) has a good little system for adding his vids, thanks for the info.

I never tried the free version after investigating the product however, I can say it's worth it if you want to have a bit of control over what video content you provide. Likewise it can be used on a site solely for monetizing as well. We're certainly glad to have it on our forum and it's as stable as any product I've used with the latest 6.3 product update... at least for our purposes.

Hmm... some good video tutorials may be useful on this. Thanks for the info above!... We need the Post Thank You hack implemented!
