BOP, I totally checked out that recommendation. Rang my bell very loudly as it seemed to definitely hit on what I was looking for and more. However, there seems to be a detrimental feature though. It will not work without configured hoster information. That is input via an XML file as far as I can tell. There are no guidelines how to create one and none officially provided. One was provided for a host called veoh, but I have no idea how to begin understanding the voluminous code within it. I'm just interested in youtube.

Hopefully someone will graciously provide their XML later.
Thanks for Advising up in here!
