This library has been discussed here before, but I just realized that I never did an official announcement to the group. It is basically a Ruby wrapper around YouTube’s REST API, and currently implements all the available methods. It also includes a convenience method to easily embed a video in a Rails view. Install with ‘gem install youtube’.

Hi Shane, I’ve just tried to install this & received this error. C:\rails\test\trunk\>gem install youtube ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenURI::HTTPError) 404 Not Found looks like a lot of fun though.

It looks like you are having trouble accessing the gem server or one of its mirrors. Give it another shot and see if it works, using: sudo gem install youtube --include-dependencies Shane
