Description
I have researched past threads on this issue, but still getting the error
The Youtube Video URL validation has failed for some reason. Please check the URL and try again.
If the error persists please contact My Sports Videos administrators.
The Youtube validation service reported the following error: Unknown method specified.
and Youtube Video URL: * is highlighted in red
I have
1. checked the module version,
2. tried the video_youtube.module patch,
3. checked my Google/YouTube Developer Key and Client Id,
4. added "allow_url_include = On" to php.ini....
5. installed the Embed Filter and Video Filter modules
using video-5.x-1.x-dev

probably you are receiving this error because youtube finally dismiss it's first version apis which video module uses.
Some time ago youtube launched a new set of apis to add more features .. old apis where still available.
If you have programming experience I suggest to remove completely the youtube validity check or upgrade the code to use the news apis.
Hope this helps.

yes, I am aware that Google changed the YouTube apis - but the video module supposedly made adjustments
before I dive in to the code, hoping I can find an easy solution
do you think I can merely remove the YouTube validation and still grab YouTube videos for posting on the site? isn't that why they have the Developer Key?
#3
All the developer key and youtube validation stuff is used just for validation, just to check that the video the user is submitting actually exists on youtube.com.
So.. if you don't need this feature you can safely remove that check.
