Importing a YouTube Video Feed into Media Module

Here's a quick guide to importing video files from Youtube into Media nodes.

You will need to have the following modules enabled:

• Media (the 7.x-2.x branch is required)
• Media Internet Sources (comes with Media)
• Media: Youtube
• Feeds module and its dependencies
• Media Feeds

Recommended:

• MediaFront player (for playing the video)

I believe there are other players out there that could work though.

1. Create a node type with a Multimedia asset field or a file field. (I called mine "Video".) Set it to accept content with the youtube:// URI scheme.
2. Add and configure a Media Player field (from MediaFront) - optional. Without this, the video will not show up on the node.
3. Create a feed importer, using SimplePie preferably.
4. Attach the feed importer to a content type - it only requires a Title field.
5. Set the mapping on the feed importer to go from Item URL (link) to Video (media_internet)
6. Save the mapping.
7. Create a node with a Youtube RSS URL as the feed URL, something like http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/<username>/uploads
8. Click the Import tab to import content from the RSS feed.

Note that I also tried using the Feeds: Youtube module on a Youtube Data feed but that did not work for me. If anyone can get this to work, please update this page accordingly.
