You need a server key, and you need to enable the youtube api on the dashboard.
Of course {serviceVAL1} doesn't match, its not supposed to. YouTube live streams are not denoted by channel IDs; its one of the many reasons why YouTube Live streaming sucks ass. There is no "universal" embed code you can put in to just magically embed the channel's live stream. Live streams are instead denoted by video IDs; which change every time a channel goes live.
For example, adding DSP's channel to the system would be:
http://8wayrun.com/streams/ucgaqfqoznifunqqua-llu9a.8/channel
If you go to that link right now, it will find a live stream, and forward you to:
http://8wayrun.com/streams/10.J-5LqnJw2ao/stream
While on MOST streaming services CHANNEL = STREAM; on YouTube, this is not the case. Because of this, until a scrape finds the channel and fetches the video ID, it will not embed on any pages. The plus side of YouTube doing it this way however, is that a single channel can have multiple live streams at once.
Also, YouTube changed their API last week. So right now you won't find ANY streams live... you can fix this yourself though by going into: EWRrio/Services/YouTube.php and replacing:
Code:
'videoEmbeddable' => true,
Code:
'videoEmbeddable' => 'true',

The YouTube API changed a lot last week... so I think I can finally get viewer counts working:
http://8wayrun.com/streams/10.kdxGYDODQQ4/stream
They still have no way of showing what game they are playing though.

Sweet look forward to it. I know you dislike Youtube and their copyright ********, but a lot of my streamers are moving over to it, so it is really a very valid platform. Appreciate all you are doing here to make it just as badass as twitch!

New Ideas for @Jaxel :
- Sidebar widget for the Stream page: Will show a users recent broadcasts on his channel in the sidebar. (for the streaming services that support this)
- Show description from Twitch, on the stream page. Will show a button next to the "Show Chatroom", which says "Show Description". As the button says, will when clicked show the users description, just as on Twitch. This can be changed in settings to be open on default, rather then the chatbox being open by default.
I think this would have been very cool, what do you think?

Going to take that as a no then Jaxel :\ Shame..

Added youtube API, but no YT Live streams appearing.
(I limit by game, maybe problem lies there? What should I add for "game spelling" with Youtube Live?, for Cities Skylines?)
And I I try to add channel manually, I get error:
No filter selected.: missingRequiredParameter

What channel?

Well I managed to add a channel manually (https://gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCqXUdHQdo8zG-yzmlXUXGPQ), but it still does not appear in the LIVE streaming list.
But all youtube gaming channels that stream CSL (and are live) should appear on my site.. I don't have channel restriction, only game restriction.

The YouTube API is awful and slow. It will show up eventually.
YouTube CAN NOT search by game restriction; it can do channel restriction only. Their API does not expose what game a channel is playing, nor does it offer the ability to search for channels by games.
You should set to Channel OR Games.

Sounds like the Twitch API crashing? It does that often.

Holy cow.. What is this?? You'd think they would make a streaming service worth of next-gen title.. Can't even filter by game, lol.
http://www.citiesskylines-nation.com/streams/ucqxudhqdo8zg-yzmlxuxgpq.22/channel
So I guess I would have to remove game restriction for that channel to "connect". Ah well..
I'll stay clear of YT-gaming and stick to Twitch for now then.. (and their service blow too to be honest, but at least they can filter by game..)

Yeah, I guess it is Twitch being disgusting again.. Not much we can do. Sucks for my site though, none wants to see streams there if they keep "disappearing".

No, you dont... just add the channel restriction as well... "Channel OR Game".
Twitch used to be great... about 2 years ago. They had good programmers, their API was coming along really well, and all of us API developers loved them. But they became a victim of their own success. Their API hasn't been updated in a LOOOOOOONG time; it still has some really stupid bugs (like the iframe embed code not respecting autoplay=off, or the iframe not working on https), and of course, their servers are constantly crashing.

Still couldn't get YT streams. Not hat it matters, because: I only want channels currently streaming Cities Skylines to appear.. Thus "games" option is the only valid option for me. Any streaming service that don't support that = no go.
True.. I had nigh hopes for YouTube Gaming, but oh well.. Not what I hoped for.
By the way: Any way I can force the Twitch Chat embed to be in Dark mode by default? Light mode looks iffy on my dark website..
