The letter "O" in description instead of the description

I am getting the same thing but with the letter “L” instead.

Lol I’m getting O’s every where.. any solutions for this?

I am pulling different youtube channels, some get the full description, some of them just the letter V.

What’s up with that?

I’m getting the same error.. that always happened when I add a comment to my playlist, do you know how can I do to this comment be also imported with the video?

I’m getting random letters but the description does get added as well.

Here’s a quick Fix >>>
hope it works for you as it did for me :-

let me help you out…

to overcome this…

When typing your YouTube description =
Dont Press ENTER.

Just keep on typing in a single paragraph.
Allow youtube to drop to the next line for you.

Tell me if it works. Coz it works for me.

To the Author : mpraetzel
Please take note of this and why is it this way ?

@comawhite – don’t works.

Same error here.

The developer abandon the plugin update?

@themediafire

Trying using PHP Version 5.3.20
it works on that php version

But doesnt work with 5.4 +.

Sadly, Yes, looks like the developer abandoned it or possibly is busy with other things…

/core/parse.php

if u delete the line 243, the one with 'post_content' => $s,
u eliminate the video description and with that the error that put there those letters

i don”t need the description of the video so this works just fine for me

In Core Folder Replace Parse.php With Code Bellow

Automatic Youtube Video Posts V3.2
