    G`day,

    I have a PHP Script that pulls Youtube Vids targetted to keywords
    input but after several requests from customers, I need some way
    to be able to filter out individual videos by Author name, more filtering
    options would be considered if suggested.

    So can anyone help out with this? If anyone thinks they can handle
    this easily, or can tell me more about how filtering can be implemented
    easily with code already "out there" ... please reply to the thread or PM
    me with details thanks.

    So do you want the filtering to block the Author that you specify?

    G`day,

    yes, filter by specifying which Author to filter out. An example is, one
    of my customers bought the Photoshop Site in my sig and the Vid Site
    attached to that has, of course, Photoshop Vids but ... the customer
    doesn`t like the language in some of the Vids. The only way to filter
    these out will be by Author name .... being able to filter out the rude
    comments that seem to appear with way to much regularity would be
    a bonus to ... I "cut" the comments tag out of the script before I sell it
    as a site because of the foul language comments.

    Main thing at the moment is to be able to filter by Author name though.
    Thanks for replying to ... ;)

    G`day mate,

    thanks for replying again, I believe the answer to your question
    would be the Youtube g-data api ... I`m not up on the terms or
    even if this is what you mean by "system" ... if you want, you may
    download the free Lite Version of the software and quickly create
    a site to look at the output ... take you 5 minutes to create a site ;)

    LITE

    You may view the description of the product here before downloading
    also ...

    VIDEO SITES

    I know it`s possible to filter as other scripts do it, can`t seem to find
    where to start searching though. I appreciate your help mate ... if looking
    at the output of the script gives you any indication of what needs to be
    done and you have an idea of a timeframe ... please let me know ... ;)
