Hi, bigbluesquid –
Thank you for taking the time to try the plugin.
I’m sorry you had such a bad experience.
Let’s try to address your issues and feedback…
Google API (youtube) returns errors for all searches.
Could you please provide a little more detail about these errors and/or paste the exact error message into a reply?
We have many installations of our own running (like Surfing.TUBE and Hoops.TUBE) and all of them are pretty stable in that regard.
Likewise, no other users have reported Google API errors.
No filters on the [YouTube] video search. VIMEO worked but with no filters, a basic keyword search is insufficient for curation.
What filters were you hoping to see?
Happy to consider any ideas, to the degree that the APIs make them possible.
Vimeo is pretty limited.
The API instructions for Twitch are out of date so couldn’t connect to it either
It’s a bit of an uphill battle to keep up with the ever-changing screens and processes for these sites.
You can find updated Twitch instructions in version 1.1.3 of the plugin, which is now available.
TL/DR: Thanks for trying the plugin, sorry it didn’t work as expected. Hopefully, we can get you squared away on the Google API issues and Twitch keys so you can give it a more proper assessment. And, your feedback on the filters would be very welcome.
Sincerely,
Todd from .TUBE
P.S. In the future, when you encounter errors, I hope you’ll consider a support thread before leaving a 1-star review. Most plugin developers are happy to help resolve issues, especially if it means avoiding bad press like this.
