I tried to edit it, now I'm getting a error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /home/global43/public_html/includes/videoserviceapi/class_youtube.php on line 1

I re-downloaded your addin but there isn't a class_youtube.php file in the includes/videoserviceapi/ folder. Just a .html. Where is it??

Edit** Nevermind, I imported the YouTube Holster to fix

I don't understand what you want to do, but you should have a look at the template video_*

After just a couple of days getting this working on my board, I can tell you this would be great for sure. People love it but with a lot of videos in there it's getting a quite mess without subs.

Works in Firefox, but not IE.

I can confirm that too. It's not running on IE7

By the way, each template I have to change to correct the link on Navbar on CMPS ? Any idea ?
I tried to include video.php on navbar replacements on CMPS global options but it didn't work out.

Great job by the way. :up:
