Description
With your latest patch and dev version seem to be getting this error now I try to update a youtube video
"* The Youtube Video URL validation as failed for some reason. Please check the URL and try again.
If the error persists please contact TORBAY SURFING administrators.
* The Youtube validation service reported the following error: Bad, unknown, or disabled dev_id specified."

#1
the youtube submodule now support remote validation. When a user submit a youtube video this is validated remotely with Youtube.
But you need a developer ID from Youtube in order to use this feature. Otherwise it will not work.
#2
it happens when also trying to add a youtube video from scratch too! ok will get a dev id or find a way of disabling it.
#3
unfortunately we currently don't have a feature to disable youtube validation. We should have one.. so.. adding this feature soon.
#4
Even after getting a Developer Key and a Client ID from youTube, I still get the error... "The Youtube validation service reported the following error: Bad, unknown, or disabled dev_id specified."
The documentation is unclear, am I supposed to enter my Developer KEY or my Client ID? or should I be looking at something else, from somewhere else, that is actually called a Developer ID?
Has anyone gotten this version to work? even with a dev_id?
Thanks,
Jen

I got a Development ID for YouTube, and it still doesn't work.
Possibly on YouTube's end they have to review the site to enable the Developer's ID, but i kind of doubt it.
#6
I didn't have time to make the validation service optional, but I replaced the video authentication url so it should validate now for users with a developer key.
(YoutTube has updated their API to include Client IDs as well, but they are not required. I added a field on the youTube settings page for a client ID but haven't integrated it into the API yet, that will come later...)
The attached patch is for /types/video_youtube/video_youtube.module
I know it needs more testing, let me know what you find!

How could I get this module work with Youtube videos?
I know that API has changed, but is there an available update/patch for this module?
#8
I just committed a new version of video_youtube which add a checkbox to let you disable youtube validation.
The validation, due to Youtube APIs change still doesn't work, so please disable it while we update the code for the new youtube apis.
