@jac I spent three hours looking into this today and sadly it’s not a simple affair in the sense that I can’t reuse the older Flarum script. Essentially, it’s a rewrite but not the end of the world.
I’ve finished most of this, but have hit a stumbling block with the newer API so will need to research further before we can be ready for an initial release.
There are some dependencies also, but nothing too major. Essentially, you will require
nodebb-plugin-write-api(listed as the Write API) plugin to be able to use this new script. It also (currently) requires PHP to be installed (although future versions will probably make use of Python. -

It’s a shame you’ve ran into a few issues, but can’t thank you enough! If this does get released I don’t see why more users wouldn’t want to use it.

@jac ok, I spent some more time (another 2 hours) looking into this, and now have it working
Essentially, it works fine, but the issue here is that there is no text - it’s just videos. Looking at the structure of the XML file, it’s not the same as a standard RSS or ATOM file.
Proving difficult. Work continues…
I’ll keep you posted.

@jac thanks. I think I’ve found a way to get the description of the YouTube video from the XML structure in the URL, but this may cause issues with other URLs that are in fact RSS and atom compliant.
I’ll look at this a bit more tomorrow.

@jac
will this be published on the node forum too? -
@jac Possibly. Ideally as a plugin though if that does happen

Fantastic! Can’t wait
it will be a fantastic addition! -

Is that right
.I’m looking forward to its release as you know

.@jac Yes, pretty much that. The only part left to develop is the feed you provided me. It’s structured differently meaning I have to fetch the data from a large array, and it takes time to identify which array key holds the specific string you want.
For other RSS and ATOM feeds it’ll work out of the box. However, it (currently) requires PHP and MySQL (as it was ported from Flarum) and ideally should be moved to native NodeJS and MongoDB. Sadly, work commitments mean I haven’t had as much time as I’d like to update all of this so inevitably, the release has been delayed.
