  Morning, first time poster so please go gentle.

  Bascally what I’m attempting to do is display a single random video from a specific You Tube channel, or user, in the HTML widget but can find no code to allow me to do this. I’ve asked the same question in th You Tube API Development forums and am awaiting a response, but am asking here also to cover all bases.

  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  On the video click on Share then Embed then copy the code into your blog, as long as they’ve enabled embedding it will show up.

  That only works for a specific video. What I’m after is for it to display random videos from a specific user.

  Ah right, I don’t think there is such an option I’m afraid.

  ardpete is right. That’s not possible.
