Been searching for the API to embed a Youtube channel's user_uploads for channels which have the new channel_id (starting with UC) instead of a user name but did not find any working solution. According to the API, there is only the possibility to embed a player with user_uploads for a USER ID. Are there any (undocumented?) parameters to achieve this?

Example of working iframe embed with user_id:

http:// www.youtube.com / listType=user_uploads&list=USERNAME

Not working:

http:// www.youtube.com / embed?listType=user_uploads&list=UC....xxxxx (Google + style channel id)

The posted answer does not work anymore.

Now you should use:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=USERID

And the USERID is your youtube user id with 'UU' appended.

For example, if your user id is TlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg then you should put UUTlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg. If you only have the channel id (which you can find in your channel URL) then just replace the first two characters (UC) with UU.

So in the end you would have an URL like this: http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=UCTlQ5niAIDsLdEHpQKQsupg

BTW. you can append &index=1 to specify which video should be played.

Never seen such a username. Do you have a link to a user (youtube website) with such a username ?

Update.

It looks like it is a part of the new V3 api from youtube and I filed a bug report at the youtube dev forum since it wont't work withe the user_uploads iframe

http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=6463

For example this channel

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow

then ID is UCpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow

Now try to load this

http://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=UCpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow

This isn't working, Only with real usernames
