can't add my youtube account
I'm trying to add my YouTube account to my feeds, but it keeps telling me it's not a valid feed.. It is - I've successfully added it to my Swurl and other services - but I can't get it to work with Tumblr. What should I do?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi, Jessica. Please email support@tumblr.com with your YouTube user name so we can look into this. Thanks!

Inappropriate?Marc, I'm having the same issue trying to get my YouTube feed to work as well. My YouTube user name is FilthyFrags. Thanks in advance for any help.

Inappropriate?I believe the response I got back from them was that their youtube feed is videos you upload, not your favorites. If you haven't uploaded anything it comes back with that error. You'll have to import your favorites feed as RSS, but of course it won't embed them. I can't seem to find the response now, but I'm pretty sure that's right. They should just post the response here since I'm sure a lot of people have had the same problem.

Inappropriate?Hi, folks. The built-in YouTube feed option is for videos you upload. You can manually add the feed address for your favorites. But, Tumblr only imports feed items dated two days old or newer. So, any of your favorites that were uploaded to YouTube more than two days ago will not be imported. Hope that helps!

Inappropriate?Thanks Charles and Marc. It wasn't obvious to me that in order for the feed to work, there has to be some actual uploading done on YouTube. Everything's working fine now.

..Thanks again.
I’m happy
