process_youtube.inc.php

I notice this file is using legacy API from YouTube.
Any plans to update to the latest?

I have been working on a similar plugin for a video script using the API if you need assistance.

ill mark one up really quick... you guys tell me what you think

I also noticed that this process file and the google file uses multiple file_get_contents()
Isnt there a more efficient way instead of sending multiple requests for the same data?
Such as a single file_get_contents() which stores to variable, then write the additional functions
using that stored variable?
(Like the latest release dailymotion process file storing data to $file.)

ughhhh... well i really dont seem to be having a whole lot of time right now(with it being my senior year in high school and having track and work  ughhh) lol.....

well im pretty sure there is a more efficient way just kinda busy to look into it right now......

ill try tho... :-D

talk to you all later

Here is a less requesting version.
Instead of requesting the xml for each function, it simply sends a single request for the xml
and stores it into variable $xml which the functions feed from.
