Hi. We have confirmed this issue is related to a temporary bug on Youtube API preventing the videos to sort and therefore affecting the indexation process. Here is the link to the Google thread:

https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/2494861?msgid=2520468

And here is the official response from Youtube

“YouTube is aware the search/sorting functions aren’t working as expected – this is temporary and part of our efforts to better respond, review and remove graphic, violative content from YouTube. Thanks for your patience while we work through this. Will update this thread when these features are working normally again, feel free to subscribe for updates.”

As soon as Youtube fixes the issue the functionality of the Plugin should be restored.

The plugin doesn’t create any custom tables.

It uses the native WordPress tables wp_posts and wp_postmeta.

1) How can I add a video format .mp4 with my hosting, so they are also easily integrated into the video grid on the main page?

You can upload MP4s into the media library just like images.

2) your theme does not support video thumbnails? How to add video thumbnails?

There are a few ways to do this.

a) Create a “post-list.php” partial in your child theme using the one in the main theme as a starting point. Modify as needed.

b) Put a filter on the_post_thumbnail and modify the resulting html output in there to include your MP4. Something like this (NOT TESTED) example…

function modify_post_thumbnail_html($html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size, $attr){
    // gets the id of the current post_thumbnail (in the loop)
    $post_id = get_the_id(); 

    // had MP4 thumbnail
    $mp4_url = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'my_custom_field_w_mp4_url', true ); 

    // if no mp4, do nothing
    if ( ! $mp4_url ) return $html;
   
    // generate the thumbnail HTML that includes the video player
    $html = 'YOUR MP4 HTML SNIPPET';

    // send it back
    return $html;
}

add_filter('post_thumbnail_html', 'modify_post_thumbnail_html', 99, 5);

The theme is 100% free.

Just download it and start building!

This is a capability, but at present, it’s not really exposed on the frontend.

Copying below from this ticket.

——————–

Okay, I’ve pushed an update (v1.1.8) of the plugin that provides support for “source” specific terms IDs, meaning you can associate specific terms with any channel or playlist.

To do so, you will need to set a post_meta value for tube_source_term_ids which will be a comma list of term IDs.

NOTE: there’s no “frontend” for this at this point, so you’ll need to add the postmeta via database or call to update_post_meta for the desired source.

To find the post ID of a source, go to TUBE Curator > Your Channels & Playlists and click on the source you’re working with. The post ID will be in the address bar. The process is similar for finding a term ID, but you’ll need to browse the appropriate taxonomy/ies.

So if the source post ID were 418, and you wanted videos from that source to use terms 542 and 610, you’d set up the postmeta like this…

update_post_meta( 418, 'tube_source_term_ids', '542,610' );

Then, these terms will be applied during video creation in admin and via CRON-based imports.

Please give this a shot and update here.

Um, looks like you’ve changed themes altogether.

Would love to have been able to truly fix the problem but if you’re happy I’m happy.

Could you please mark this as resolved?

> you’ll see my period that I added as my excerpt (showing up below the page title).

Not sure what that means / what I’m supposed to be seeing.

Can you please post a screengrab or something with markings that show what the issue is?

Sure… go to the Admin > Pages > Edit Page.

You should see an “Excerpt” box there that you can type in.

If you don’t see it, try the “Screen Options” tab up in the top right and check the box for “Excerpt.”

I appreciate your understanding and your effort to get these resolved.

Please do keep this thread updated if you find a solution.

Looks like the API only returns up to 500 videos for a channel.

“Note: Search results are constrained to a maximum of 500 videos if your request specifies a value for the channelId parameter and sets the type parameter value to video, but it does not also set one of the forContentOwner, forDeveloper, or forMine filters.”
— https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list

I tested this on my local dev and was only able to get 10 pages of results for channels with multi-thousands of videos.

While this is unfortunate, it’s not something I’ll be able to solve for.

Please mark as resolved if you don’t mind ??

Sorry, but plugin authors aren’t allowed to get credentials / log in.

With that, not really sure how much help I can provide you other than asking a bunch of questions that still may shed no light…

Is there anything in your Apache error log that might give some insight?

Have you confirmed that your API keys are valid?

I’ve not had this report from any other users, and all of the sites on which I use the plugin (about 6 of them plus test sites) all work perfectly.
