"Add URL from Clipboard" option missing in Youtube Directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Understudy->Manage Assets->Add Assets->Youtube

What is the expected output or result?

"Add URL from Clipboard"to be an option within the generated list

What do you see instead?

Options provided only refer to the general youtube feeds and nothing specific 
to my account (djdyNASTEE) such as playlists, favourites etc.

Please provide any additional information below, including any relevant
URLs. If there is a crash report in [HOME]/Library/Logs/CrashReporter then
please attach it.

This option was a part of the 0.83 release but has been lost in the 0.9 update.

0.83 would crash upon accessing one of my playlists after i entered the URL

I have tried to uninstall Understudy and reinstall a few times as per the wiki

I currently use snow leopard 10.6.7

My Youtube password is saved and remembered upon accessing the page but 
Understudy has never "discovered" my account

That was an unfortunate oversight. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll have a fix 
in the next release.

If you're willing to get your hands dirty, you can modify the Understudy 
preference file directly.
1) Add some other YouTube feed, which you'll modify to get the one you really 
want
2) open Terminal.app
3) at the prompt, enter:

plutil -convert xml1 
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.frontrow.appliance.understudy.plist

4) open the .plist file in a text editor (it won't be pretty) and find the 
youtube entry. It will have a couple lines like:
            <key>provider</key>
            <string>youtube</string>
5) Find the <key>URL</key> line (within the same pair of <dict></dict> tags) 
and change the value in the <string></string> line after it to the URL you want 
to use.
6) Save the .plist and open Understudy

If you have any problems after modifying the plist, just cut out the entire 
<dict></dict> section around what you modified. There are some limits to what 
characters the URL can contain (for example any '&' in the URL need to be 
replaced with '&').
