Changes in YouTube RSS format

New changes in YouTube format. Service was not operating for some time, now should be fine.
Let me know if there are any problems with new changes.

Few notes: Seems that YouTube have excluded enclosures from their feeds completely (even for online users). Hopefully it does not mean anything bad for us.

New features - HD, bookmarklets, standard feeds and playlists

There is small reward after last week downtime - it is a new release of the service with several new features.

• Standard feeds - like Top Rated, Most viewed, etc. In the converter section.
• Playlists - it is possible to convert playlists too.
• HD format support - only when video is available in HD, so it is mostly usable for downloads and channels, not good for favorites, playlists and standard feeds.
• Bookmarklets for downloads - it is no more necessary to copy/paste URLs, just click link.
• Banners! - you may notice several new banners on the page.

Please check it and let me know if there is any issue.

Problems seems to be resolved

After few days of broken service, it seems now to be fixed.

Thanks for everyone who reported about it and please check if everything is working again.

Thanks to everyone reporting this issue.

Changes from YouTube

YouTube changed format of the channel feeds, and they were not working for some time. Now everything should be fine again. Please leave comments if something still is broken.

New design

New template for RSSHandler. Previous was more complicated to handle and less customizable, also looked different in different browsers, this one should be more stable.

Also links to blog made public, so any interested can now follow site updates.

Short url for video feeds

URL generated by RSS Handler are quite big and ugly, and if you are not using Nokia Bar Codes, or not sending links by SMS or e-mail, it is quite difficult to enter these URLs into mobile.
Now on each page there is link to create short URLs, that are easier to enter or remember, and that are much shorter than handler's links.
To create links is used site URLOF.COM  and it can be used to shorten all kinds of links, but not only links from RSS Handler .
