Tubecast?

It took me a few hours, but using the undocumented secret of finding YouTube's hidden mp4s, I now have a Python script that turns my YouTube favorites feed into a podcast of downloadable iPod-compatible movie files.

Yay?

Definitely yay. Can you pipes that?

Yays upon yays!

Like convert it into a Yahoo Pipe? I couldn't see how to do a HEAD request (nor how to pull out the video arguments right).

[this is good]

That's awesome! Like, textbook awesome. :)

If you don't bother 404 on h.264 files, you can just put -1 to length and most clients do the right thing :)

Hmm, that would work as a Yahoo Pipe then!

I also realized you could probably change the JSON to URL components with a dumb string replacement, too.
