When I place a video by putting a video url in a post, it pulls the video and a description from Youtube. The description it pulls is usually way to short and cuts off most of the original Youtube description. Apparently there is no way to increase the amount of characters it can pull with the default software, I would think I could do this by editing a php file, any ideas.
Thanks,
Andy

I have not looked at the vb5 coding in this area, but when writing my own routine for another application I used this white paper on the API from YouTube:

You would need to compare this against the current code. Sorry, I cannot be more of assistance at this time. If no one replies further, drop me a message and I will add you to my backlog.
