		+	==Youtube login issues==
		+	If you have problems logging in with your youtube account, please consider that there were some changes due to Google's integration of Youtube into G+. Try out this procedure (thanks to colinpowell):
		+
		+	The problem: I could not get Youtube Subscriptions to update. The videos already cached played fine, but no subs were updating.
		+
		+	The solution: Linking my Youtube account to a google+ address, then activating that page for use with Third-party tools within the Google+ settings. This gave me a proper user name and I set a new password for it. I then entered that username, including the @pages.googleplus.com, and the new password in to the WDVTV Youtube client.
		+
		+	Hey-presto, it worked.

		+	If you want to add shortcut entries under UMSP to take you directly to a specific playlist or subscription, you can add custom entries to /conf/umsp.php folowing the examples here: http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=713&p=33936#p33645 (you just send in the correct parameters in the "id" string)

 The Youtube subscriptions plugin allows you to view your Youtube subscription videos the same way the youtube interface shows them to the registered users. The plugin is included in the base usmp plugins.
 The plugin has two components: proxy+web interface and a helper script that generates a list of new videos from your subscriptions. The helper script can be run periodically to ensure you can access the latest videos.
 You can also use the search button to search through the cache file for videos with a specific title. The search is done case insensitive and it is interpreted as a regular expression (characters like +, *, ., [], etc have special meaning).

-* Currently (version 0.4.5.3) there is a problem with the certificates that the built-in package curl has shipped in and it can't verify if the server you are talking to is actually the Youtube authentication server. This check is disabled by using --insecure parameter when running youtube-subscriptions-helper.php. When curl will come with the correct certificates, you can drop --insecure and it will verify the authenticity of the Youtube server. Keep in mind that the authentication process is still encrypted regardless of --insecure.
