 * Hello,
    First off, thank you very much for this plugin and your help with this
   issue. I updated to version 2.4.1.3 yesterday. Now instead of the YT player I
   receive the following error message:
 * >  Warning: base64_decode() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in/
   > home/dansak4/whobyaudio.com/wp-content/plugins/youtube-channel/youtube-channel.
   > php on line 471
   > No items [Check here why]
 * I have installed the redux framework plugin.
    TC is used in a sidebar widget.
   URL is [http://www.whobyaudio.com](http://www.whobyaudio.com)

 * Update: changing cache feed setting to “do not cache” appears to resolve this
   issue.

 * Try to enable cache feed again. That should work.
