I’ll manage, but for the rest, you might want to supply a wget-able link.
Also, I was about to translate it to Hebrew, but it’s not gettextable.
Too bad…
Can elaborate on the wget-able link? I’m clueless on that.
Well, you can’t download this through wget.
A direct link to the file will work, but if you need to count the downloads then you should use something that simply redirects to the file after counting the download.
Right now the download link gives you the zip file (I actually didn’t notice this earlier), but it’s saved with filename index.html?load=youtubecomments.zip
Hmm..this is really something new to me. I’m using the WS DownloadManager, not sure if it can do the wget thingy.

Great plugin but i get this message when I try to update it.
Error retrieving data from YouTube fail.
I set up everything in your directions. Any suggestions?
I have updated the plugin to provide better error message. Download the plugin and upload again. You should be able to narrow down the problem
Thanks for that update it tells me that it is an internal error in youtube. To tell them exactly what is wrong.
Thanks for the update.
Hopefully the error is not related to my plugin

Any chance that you could add spam filtering? I delete certain comments from my WordPress, but when it updates, it re-adds them. Would it be possible to make it so that once it’s deleted it can’t be readded?
You can unapprove them or mark them as moderated
It was my dumbass fault I was putting my key ID in the value box when it should’ve been the video id from the permalink. The plugin works great thanks.
Ahh.. I see. No problem Andy.

hi, this is one of the best plugins, but,
please, can you make it work with another sites like youtube, let’s say… metacafe or flurl ?
this will make it the best plugin!
Unfortunately no, metacafe/flurl does not have api for video comments.

If youtube can’t stop them, then I don’t think I can
Read up the Tips & Tricks section for a workaround.
