A SilverStripe module for syncing videos with Youtube

YoutubeSync - A SilverStripe module for syncing your videos with youtube

YoutubeSync is the module of your choice, if you like to show your youtube videos on your homepage. It allows you to fetch videos from Youtube by just giving your username and a valid API key. The videos are stored in the database with a custom DataObject, so the API must not be called on every page load., _(*1)
