Hi and thanks for the info.
I found this additional link that was created by the person you referenced in your article, which is a full jquery youtube player.
http://jsfiddle.net/SimoneGianni/NmvA9/
What it does create a player that features not the various playlists but the “uploaded videos” from a youtube channel. Simply change the user name (channel name) at the bottom of the script from (in that example) “youtube” to what ever e.g. NDdotEDU, which is Notre Dame’s youtube channel.
In that example the feed is derived from their uploads
http://www.youtube.com/user/NDdotEDU/videos
and the feed to those uploads located here http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/NDdotEDU/uploads
But I have a question – In addition to uploads there are “playlists” which are a combination of uploaded and/or external videos. The link that Frederico provided is able to access the playlists, which do not use the “user/channel name” but instead the playlist ID.
Here is an example of a feed of one of the playlists from the NDotEDU channel
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/B32C4DFCD1DC4D65
This also works on Frederico’s link

But I cannot get it to work on the jsfiddle / SimoneGianni player , which is a really nice product as it works on ipad etc and is light weight.
any ideas please?
