Assess the functionality of the syndication method used for youtube.

camilor67 commented 10 years ago

the syndicaction method was fixed, the RSS was updated to http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos?max-results=50&alt=rss&orderby=published&author=ccafs

It was fixed and is working now, however the problem persists. I could not identify any tag in the feed. And, in order to geo-localize the data, we will need to capture the lat-long information for each resource.

Update the RSS to: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?max-results=50&alt=rss&orderby=published&author=ccafs

The principal problem found is that the source videos posted doesn't have the georss coordinates. We need to find ways to ensure that the georss data are provided to amkn.

Then, my recommendation would be to create a personal youtube account, upload any video there and figure out if actually there is a place in which you can enter location data. If so, you will be able to test if the gdata feed is exporting this information using the geo-rss standard.

@camilor67: What do you think?

I configured temporally my youtube feed in lab.amkn.org, my feed only has one video and it has georss points that are configured through the same youtube account. At the time of syndication, this worked perfectly. The video post remained in draft status and only put it in the "published" this is showed correctly on the map of amkn.

Excellent! So, I think the syndication method for youtube is working properly. We will need to figure out who is managing the youtube accounts in order to have the georss data on each of the videos that we are syndicating.

Youtube syndication is working correctly, we are in touch with Cecilia Schubert (responsible CCAFS Youtube channel) to complet the geoTag from channel's videos.
