Technically, the plugin relies on the YouTube Data API to dynamically fetch data from YouTube. However, the API is not entirely free—it comes with a daily quota limit for free usage.

To stay within this free quota, the plugin implements a caching mechanism. When Developer Mode is disabled, the plugin caches API responses for a set period to reduce frequent API requests. The cache duration is controlled by the "cache" parameter in the plugin shortcode. For more details, please refer to the “Creating and Displaying Video Galleries” section in our documentation:
https://plugins360.com/automatic-youtube-gallery/getting-started/#build-gallery (see the “Cache Duration” option).

However, when Developer Mode is enabled, the plugin makes a fresh API request every time you refresh the browser. This ensures that live streams appear instantly, but it can quickly exceed the free API quota limit—which is why we do not recommend enabling Developer Mode for regular use.

Recommended Solutions:

To ensure your live stream appears promptly while staying within the API quota limit, you can try one of the following:

1. Adjust the cache duration – Try setting a lower cache duration value to refresh the data more frequently.
2. Manually clear the cache – Go to the plugin’s settings page and click the “Delete Cache” button when your stream goes live. This will clear the cache once and immediately fetch the latest stream while keeping API usage in check.

Future Improvements:

We understand the importance of instantly detecting live streams, and we’re actively working on a better solution to achieve this automatically. However, since we rely on the YouTube API, we must work within its limitations. Rest assured, we are committed to finding an optimal solution soon. We appreciate your patience!

That’s unusual. Are you saying the code in the thumbnail.php file has been altered? A cache plugin wouldn’t typically cause this. Did you happen to reinstall or update our plugin after making the changes? I recommend editing the file again, and if the issue persists, please submit a support ticket on our website here: https://plugins360.com/support/. We’ll be happy to assist further!

You’re correct, but I don’t see the new attributes when inspecting the page source. Are you using a caching plugin? If so, please try clearing your site cache and check again.

Thanks for bringing this issue to us. I promise that our next version would have this issue addressed.

As a quick solution:

Kindly open the following file,

/wp-content/plugins/automatic-youtube-gallery/public/templates/thumbnail.php

Find the line (#47) below,

'<img src="%s" class="ayg-thumbnail-image" alt="%s" %s/>',

Replace it as,

'<img src="%s" class="ayg-thumbnail-image" width="320" height="180" alt="%s" %s/>',

Save the changes and check now.

Hope this solved your issue!

I understand that you’re looking for an option to restrict video access based on user roles. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in the current version of our plugin.

The good news is that we’re already working on it! Our next version, scheduled for release at the end of this month, will include this functionality. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Did you update anything recently? I believe there is a conflict. Kindly write to us here https://plugins360.com/all-in-one-video-gallery/support/ along with this post link. So, we can request more details about your website privately to further investigate the issue.

If possible, please also attach a log file from your server. Kindly follow the steps below to generate a log file,

1. Kindly install this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar/
2. Then, enable debugging in your website by adding the following code in your wp-config.php

// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

// Disable display of errors and warnings
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );

// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

Now, when you receive the error next time, go to /wp-content/ folder and there should be a debug.log file. Please copy and send it to us. So, we can get a clue about the issue and assist you accordingly.

The custom taxonomy name for our tags are “aiovg_tags”.

So, the feed URL should look like /aiovg_tags/featured-on-tgp/feed/

So, simply replace the /video-tag/ part from your URL to /aiovg_tags/

Hope this solved your issue!
