Video Description
http://www.jimmyr.com/api.php


In software like feedread you can set it to check for new videos every x time period by right clicking and going to feed properties. It'll ding when there's a new video. Add as many people as you like!

List of Feed Readers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_feed_aggregators


igoogle
http://www.google.com/ig

Feed reader
http://www.feedreader.com/

With internet Explorer 7 use add to favorites on the feed. If you want to post a video response on your favorite aggregator or how to setup feeds on IE7 / Mac / Linux do it!

p1d2 also recommended Miro to do the same thing

Youtube now uses a new gdata format and doesn't require a developer key. It also added a whole bunch more variables you can attach to the query string making things possible that weren't before.

Comments:

usafsoldier15: thanks for the tip, great video!!

CheesyJedi: Wow, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this to come out!
All you need to do now is show me how to get my email (I use Gmail) through my feedreader and that'll be the only site I use! Thanks so much!

jimmyrcom: That's actually very easy. Just subscribe to

mail dot google dot com/mail/feed/atom

CheesyJedi: Thanks for the speedy reply!
...the tip isn't working though, instead of subscribing to my gmail it searches it's feed database for anything matching that... :(

Chemicalxx112: JimmyR sound so excited, like he just got something really cool for christmas :)

ogwilson: Freaking nice man. You are truly awesome

RealPopo: ON Linux, it's BLAM Feed Reader.

superdarkfade: hurray!

great new vid!

Asteao: I've been wanting something like this to go on my iGoogle page, but I wanted to subscribe to my subscribtions on youtube. is there anyway to make a feed with all of my subscriptions?

Tophillious: lol You sound to exited and out of breath.

tallerdepccitos: hey cool, i use Sage to read feeds on Firefox and i test this and works..!!

tnx Jimmy

Asteao: Form id="monkey"

what the hell?

jimmyrcom: ey get out of my source code!

Asteao: sorry dude, I'm just trying to pick up a few things. I don't know much about php.

jimmyrcom: there is only html / javascript on that form. Either way you cannot see php, it is run internally and is not output to the pages.

Asteao: That explains a lot, but it always helps to see examples on other pages and see how its all done.

chemicaljordan: very useful! Jimmy is the best because he doesn't just teach you, he explains how it helps you and what you can do with it.

CheesyJedi: Is google reader just sucky or something? Because when I tried to put your website code into it's "Add Subscription" interface, it just spewed out an error, no matter what youtuber's name I put in...

jlumley: imagine how excited he would sound if he ever got a date (with a girl)

p1d2: You can do the same thing with Miro (formerly democracy player), but you also get the videos downloaded to your computer. And it uses VLC as it's player (which is flaky).

TravisZeckert: I use google reader and it works great, I just don't use this, so I would use this if I didn't share a computer (could stay logged into gmail).

lovelyLatias: Nifty, but because i get too lazy, i'll just log on here :p But the thing about sites is useful. Either way, thnx for the info :p

Kingaxel1: well i doubt i would use this, i just to lazy and rather go to youtube, lol

linkman61: You're picture didn't work to make it the thumnail at 1:46 Jimmy. :P

jimmyrcom: aww crap -_- can't delete and report now either. I have to run some tests.

eladbari: nice! i guess it all has to do with this thing called WEB 2.0.....

ive never understood what it REALLY is , and why its so revolutionary......

Hackiesacker007: Great Video!
lol blog of world domination :D

nicoli492: excellent! you have successfully got me to bump Yahoo from my longtime homepage.

Meddlmoe: why doesnt it work with this video posting?

jimmyrcom: the feeds are cached. I don't know how frequently they update the feeds.

Prophetelf: lol
dude
u sounded so excited at the beaning of the vid
XD

MasterOfHyrule1: Great tutorial but I don't need it.

MasterOfHyrule1: Also, firefox has live feeds but I never use them. :P

Asteao: he mentioned that, Live bookmarks. comes with firefox

MasterOfHyrule1: I skimmed though the video. :P

Since youtube changed their player, I don't have to wait until it loads all the way to skim though. :D

ChrisFromJersey: that's because it's freakin cool lol

TitanIsBack: I set it up so I am notified of your videos Jimmy!

mofosstolemyusername: seems long winded to me, I'll just carry on loggin onto YT

fmm3: I am going to do this for your videos. ^^

Ratergray: This will revolutionize first posts.

jack2452: system then advanced and did what you said but it look not cool now what can i do. i want the old thing back.i change everthing to normal but it's not going back. PLZ help me

jimmyrcom: mmmm what? Be more specific as to what you're talking about.

jack2452: you know on your Part 1 Windows From Clean Install To Efficiency vid you said that go to advanced and change to best performance, when i did that my computher got slow and my computer looks ugly. i change it back but it not working.

jimmyrcom: Just go back and adjust for best appearance. It makes your computer faster not slower. If it's slower it's because of something else you did.

jack2452: i put it back to best appearance but it's not working...

jimmyrcom: whats not working? Best appearance makes your comp slower. Your likely having a problem with some other program or something you're running. Trust me setting to best performance is best.

FreakOfNaturex42: is there a way to put these feeds into a .bat file?
like the ones you change from text documents??
i already have a bunch of .bat files thanks to you =)

blackamericangirl: with the feed thing i'm having a hard time clicking and coping and pasting the rss url....what the problem?

BigFatTonyCal: They also changed the code so no one can copy videos or the online video grabers do not work check it out.

ridingterry: i use keepvid(DOT)com and it still works

ArogiHo: You can now do something similar with Macs.

Yowzoe: Thanks. Do you know if it's possible to get a feed for "New Videos" (all) on the Subscriptions page in My Account?

In other words, I'd like to get all new videos from the 20 ppl I subscribe to in my Google Reader. I don't think it can be done.

jimmyrcom: you can combine them using yahoo pipes or something, but you have to grab each and every feed for people you're subscribed to

jimmyrcom: there's a download button on that page, which points to another download button then another download button =P

Kinghenrythe9th: hello, is api? Application Programming Interface or Macromedia Project File or neither?

tydye8: Lol. Wtf is it? And what does it have to do with the video?

constantyoutoober: Youtube captures the image at the halfway point, the first quarter point, and the third quarter point of every video, and that image will be the picture that represents that video. I assume he put it in so that the image will be the representation of the video.

kuane2323: its sephiroth...!
if you dont know who dat is, check out my vids

LLLhacker: where do you get the Feedreeader 2.90

MRauron: @ LLLhacker - Have you searched on google yet? ...

LLLhacker: lol i dont search, lol i find out my own way through Ip haha!

minzyboi3: to be honest, id go to youtube lol

minzyboi3: to be honest, id go to youtube lol

Eronbigo: does anybody know if there is a way to subscribe to all of my subscriptions at once, instead of just one user?
