 * I’m taking a guess purely from looking at the thread, but the channel import 
   feeds don’t appear to have a “v=2” parameter telling youtube which API version
   to use. From some tests in my browser, if you don’t have that added the format
   of the feed is changed and the “videoid” field is not present.
 * If you’re so bold, you could hack the plugin to append “&v=2” to the request 
   url and then my changes should work. Assuming of course this doesn’t also break
   more things that depend on the v1 of the API (however youtube is currently testing
   v3 so depending on v1 is not a great idea)

 * You should probably revert back and try to contact the plugin author for help,
   it sounds like other things may be going wrong or these changes don’t handle 
   some other cases correctly.

 * With help from this stackexchange post [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/40301/how-do-i-set-a-featured-image-thumbnail-by-image-url-when-using-wp-insert-post](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/40301/how-do-i-set-a-featured-image-thumbnail-by-image-url-when-using-wp-insert-post)
   I’ve added correct thumbnail images.
 * If anyone is interested, I posted a copy of the edited parse.php here: [http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=z1pPfuqn](http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=z1pPfuqn)
 * NOTE: if you’re not sure what to do with that, you probably shouldn’t be messing
   with it =)

 * Okay, digging deeper the plug it’s sets the postmeta _thumbnail_id to the youtube
   video id – how did this ever work? I don’t think it did…

 * The current version of the plugin doesn’t work it seems. In parse.php line 149,
   the extracting of the video id is incorrect. Interesting there is correct logic
   commented out right below it. Editing these lines I can get imports working yet
   post thumbnails are not set.
 * Will post if I get those working as well.
