Subject: Favorites seem to be giving inconsistent results
Hi,

I noticed that i get a different favorites stream when i'm making an
authenticated call  in then a non-authenticated call. The non-
authenticated call http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/allyia/favorites
returns me 1 of my 2 favorite videos.  The authenticated call returns
me my entire stream.

Is there something I'm missing? When I'm logged out of youtube I can
see all all my videos (http://www.youtube.com/profile_favorites?
user=allyia)

thanks
Ishika

This is normal for the API. Due to caching the public feeds will trail
behind the site, but authenticating should give you fresh data.

Thanks Jeff, How long is this latency? For my particular feed, the
video that is not appearing in my non-authenticated state has been
added to my stream almost 6 months ago

thanks
Ishika

Hi,

Got to the bottom of this. The other video you favorited is age-
restricted content, so to see it in the feed:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/allyia/favorites?racy=include

Cheers,
-Jeff

Thanks! I didn't realize I did that...hmm isn't this an inconsistency?

though one is a racy video. (I'm not logged in)

The site handles things differently. If you click on the video you are asked
to log in before it will play. Since it wouldn't be practical to try to
replicate this flow within the embedded player, sites can choose to do their
own age-check and either display the video or not based on the metadata.

Cheers,
-Jeff

HI Jeff,
Cool, I'm not sure if you know, but you have a similar issue with
returning favorited videos where that video has been removed from the
site, but still is in user's favorited stream.  These favorites have
no thumbnails and the links back to the edit favorites area.

thanks
ishika

Hi,

Yeah, that's an edge case I'm familiar with. We have to provide the
entry to the user since otherwise they couldn't delete it, but it
would be nice if there was an element that could mark the favorite as
pointing to a video that is taken down.

Cheers,
-Jeff
