Scott -- All of what you said is possible, except you will have to do some editing to the code. What you will have to do is take a look at the video bar Javascript code, and modify it a bit. At this time, our API (the Google Search API) doesn't have extended functionality for YouTube. However, there is a YouTube API :) http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/reference.html
Using the YouTube API, you can just replace the code in the video bar file that uses the Google Search API with the code to grab videos via the YouTube API. You'll see lots of options in the YouTube API for grabbing things like playlists, favorites, etc. -Ben On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 4:42 PM, scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello.
