We now have a demo of the YouTube Chromeless Player working from within ActionScript 3. Even better, this demo is part of an open source project on Google Code. Best of all, there is an article about the sample that explains how the sample is constructed.

This is something we've been wanting to provide for a while, and the YouTube API team greatly appreciates the work of developer Matthew Richmond of The Chopping Block for making it happen. Thanks Matthew!

This release introduces the concept of API versioning. This allows us to make breaking changes to the API that you can enable in your applications when you are ready. The list of protocol changes are documented in our Migration Guide. V2 brings us in line with the AtomPub specification. Stay tuned for more information about how V2 affects all Google Data APIs on the Data APIs blog.

As promised in the title of this post, the Geo-based search feature requested by Issue 200 has been released using the location and location-radius parameters.

Other issues this release resolves:

• Issue 110 - Retrieve time a favorite was added
• Issue 599 - Return deleted videos in private favorites/etc feed.
• Issue 579 - Restricting search to partner videos
• Issue 808 - Expose bare VideoID in XML

We encourage you to migrate to V2 as soon as you can to take advantage of these exciting features. Note that we will no longer be adding new features to V1.

For a complete list of our documentation changes, view the Revision History of our documentation.

We've seen some cool implementations in the past few weeks, and wanted to share some of them with you. 



Jim Bumgardner recently migrated Coverpop, a cool photo-mosaic app, off of the Legacy API to use the YouTube Data API.








280Slides - A great web-based presentation creator with easy YouTube integration to add videos to your presentations. 





ViralorSpiral - An interesting "hot or not" style of viral video prediction. It uses YouTube authentication for its accounts!




If you haven't seen these YouTube-specific implementations of the popular Imageflow project, here are some neat tools you can add onto your own site. 




As a downloadable PHP script: http://www.imageflow.nl/






As an easily embeddable Google Gadget: http://youtubeflow.blogspot.com/


If you've created or have seen cool YouTube mashups, let us know in the forum!
