But how do i find the correct url to use? I tried copy paste the url
that the "custom player" generates, but then it displays with the
custom player skin. I don't want any skin, only the basic player as on
that website.

Just curious... why not create a playlist and add the videos in the
order you desire, and then cut and paste the "embed" code straight out
of the playlist? For instance:
Even if there IS a URL you can use to include all videos from a given
channel, there seems to be a limit to how many videos will show up
from any embedded list, and since some channels have several 100
videos at this point, I kind of wonder whether such a URL exists.
*If* there is one (or a workaround to accomplish the same thing) you
*might* find it somewhere in the API guides here:

will work for you. You can generate code there for a "chromed" player
that's supposed to play all your uploaded videos. The URL it gives
you should be the one you're looking for.

I haven't tested my last suggestion to see if it will work with your
code, since the page with the code is a little confusing without the
bolding that's supposed to identify the replacement code. There's no
guarantee that the URL to display all your uploaded videos will work,
either, considering how many things are only semi-functioning at the
moment, but it should give you at least *some* of your videos.

Looks to me like it will show you the most recent 49 (public)
uploads. I'm not going to click through to test them all (promise),
but I'm pretty sure it will also give a hiccup when it hits the first
one with embedding disabled.

Ya, obviously you're going to want to have them all embeddable.
So what is that exactly? It's not a playlist embed so are those others
simply coming up as "related"? I think a playlist is a more solid
solution and ... well you can also use the jump ;)

I wasn't suggesting it was a "good" thing to do, just that it IS
possible and it does answer the OP's original question. If I had 12
videos on my channel it might not be a bad idea. As it stands, the
videos listed there DO seem to be my most recent 49.
Granted, since my channel contains a bunch of test videos that are
still there mainly because I hesitate to remove them, since the issues
they document have not necessarily been fixed, it's not a very useful
player for me, but it may be for those with smaller numbers of videos,
or channels that are rigorously edited to contain only videos of high
interest to the channel's subscribers. Sort of explains why my
channel has so few subscribers too. ;)
For clarity's sake I updated the blog entry to include "My Videos"
custom player for channel with only 4 videos (plus a 5th one I just
deleted because it was corrupted, and available in better form
elsewhere).

Thank you so much, that worked a treat! Such a simple and elegant
solution as well. Plus we can have different playlists for our home
page and subpages, so that we only have relevant videos on subpages,
but still all on the frontpage.
