Error -The Youtube validation service reported the following error: Bad, unknown, or disabled dev_id specified. [#266653]

I am getting the following error: "The Youtube validation service reported the following error: Bad, unknown, or disabled dev_id specified."

I have a YouTude Developers ID, and this modules work great on another site that I built for a client earlier this year. I saw the notice about earlier releases prior to mid February, but the only version I see in the releases for 5.0 has a Feb 18 date with the last update being in April.

Is there another version available or is the a workaround for this issue ?

Thanking you in advance for your help.

Do you have a youtube developer id? Did you insert into the video module configuration?

This is used to check that a youtube video already exists and that is embeddable.

Yes, I do have a youtube developer id. And, Yes, I did insert it in the required field area in the video module configuration section. Also, tried 5 or 6 different youtube videos and got the same error.

Thanks for your help.

Same exact issue. I'd really like to get started using this module - is there anyway to make it work?

Hi--

I'm having the exact same error here too, and I tried the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/222651 but had no luck. Some of the others there reported success, and some reported failure.

I have double-checked and triple-checked the YouTube Developer Key, and everything's loaded into the proper settings fields.

Please help! YouTube videos are a huge part of our site!

Thanks very much in advance!

Hi,

The way I finally got it to work was to fill in the "Site URL" box. It is labeled as optional but once I added the web site url to the profile, the YouTube function worked smoothly. Hope this helps!

The issue may be that your PHP installation has "allow_url_include" disabled. I think it is disabled by default in a lot of new PHP installations now as it poses a security risk if you have poorly written code.

I was having the same problem with all my configuration settings being set correctly in Drupal and YouTube and still getting this error. But when when I enabled that setting in my PHP.ini it worked. It makes sense in that the API has to go across the internet to "talk" to YouTube.
