I am trying to import youtube video feeds as mentioned in http://www.drupaltherapy.com/node/34.

I could create feeds on a clean install of drupal 6.12. However, when I did the same thing on my existing drupal sites, it is not working. Once I create the feed, when I click on the refresh, it does not import feeds. I am not sure what made this happen. But when I do exactly the same thing on clean install, it works. Please suggest

I figured what happned. It is not a problem with clean install or anything. The problem is that it does not take a feed that has a space. For example, if I search "drupal tutorial" in youtube and apply the feed url of this search, it does not work. However, if I search as "drupal-tutorial" then the feed url works!!

The question now is, Is it supposed to not work with a feed generated by search words with spaces in between??

Well, which parser do you use?
I cannot really confirm that bug. I searched for some words in youtube search, separated by spaces and it processes nicely.
Can you paste here your problematic feed URL?

I am using common syndication parser. I searced for "drupal tutorial" in youtube and sorted by newest. Here is the feed url that does not work:

Your feed URL is invalid. Read more here:

In short: you should write %20 instead of a space and it will work, i think you manually create these URLs and not by youtube.
