Hi guys,
This plugin is using the YouTube Data API (v2) not supported anymore since april 2015.
I have faced the same problem. This issue really bothered me so much that stead of downloading another plugin i have DECIDED to try fixing it or DIE! It took me 2 days to figure it out how YouTube Data API (v3) and How Cool Video Gallery works.
I have re-build the whole CVGYoutubeAPI class
to be able to work with YouTube Data API (v3).
- Open: /wp-content/plugins/cool-video-gallery/lib/youtube.php
- Replace the whole class CVGYoutubeAPI {} with the one below
<?php
/**
* Helper Class for Youtube API
*
* @author - Praveen Rajan
*/
class CVGYoutubeAPI {
/**
* Initializes values
* @author Praveen Rajan
*/
function CVGYoutubeAPI() {
}
/**
* Returns Youtube video ID
* @author Praveen Rajan
*/
function getPatternFromUrl($url) {
$url = $url . '&';
$pattern = '/v=(.+?)&+/';
preg_match($pattern, $url, $matches);
return ($matches[1]);
}
/**
* Parses Youtube video to get details of video
* @author Praveen Rajan
*/
function parseVideoEntry($entry) {
$obj = new stdClass;
// get nodes in media: namespace for media information
$media = $entry ;
$obj -> title = $media -> {'items'}[0]->{'snippet'}->{'title'};
$obj -> description = $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'snippet'} -> {'description'};
// get video player URL
$obj -> watchURL = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' . $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'id'};
// get video thumbnail
$obj -> thumbnailURL = $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'snippet'} -> {'thumbnails'} -> {'default'} -> {'url'};
// get <yt:duration> node for video length
$obj -> length = $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'contentDetails'} -> {'duration'};
// get <yt:stats> node for viewer statistics
$obj -> viewCount = $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'statistics'} -> {'viewCount'};
// get <gd:rating> node for video ratings
$gd = $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'statistics'} -> {'likeCount'};
if ( $gd > 0 ) {
$obj -> rating = $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'statistics'} -> {'likeCount'};
} else {
$obj -> rating = 0;
}
// get <gd:comments> node for video comments
$obj -> commentsURL = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' . $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'id'};
$obj -> commentsCount = $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'statistics'} -> {'commentCount'};
// get feed URL for video responses
$obj -> responsesURL = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' . $media -> {'items'}[0] -> {'id'};
// get feed URL for related videos
$obj -> relatedURL = '';
// return object to caller
return $obj;
}
/**

function youtube_video_details($vid) {
$key_id='YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY';
$url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&key=". $key_id ."&id=". $vid;
// set JSON video data fetching URL
$feedURL = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/' . $vid;
$entry = json_decode(file_get_contents($url,0,null,null),false);
// parse video entry
$video = $this -> parseVideoEntry($entry);
return $video;
}
}
?>
To make it work you need to create a API key
Public API access Key => Key for server applications
Then at your google dashboard give permission to Youtube.
Go here: https://console.developers.google.com/ to create a new api key and give permission to youtube.
