I could not get it to work either. It was nice for it to search YouTube and provide thumbnails of each video. The I got the dreaded file length of zero and that stopped it all.
I could not delete it fast enough, er make that “remove” it.
Good review.
@David Roper: I couldn’t get it to even open! It gave me an error (stated above). Glad to see I’m not the only one (AKA one of several on GOTD) having problems (:
Did you guys Run As Administrator (if on Vista)?
@Kinetix: I was on my XP VM.
Nope. It don’t work; not ready; too gorked to geek.
