 * Hello.
 * First thanks for the plugin.
 * I got an issue when i try to bulk edit external-videos to add, let’s say, categories
   or tags WordPress always gives the error “Invalid post type”.
 * That way i must edit one by one to add a tag or category.
 * It’s pretty time consuming for 200+ videos.
 * Using WP 3.8, twentythirteen and no plugins except external-videos.
 * Any help?

 * I just updated the plugin for WP 3.8. Can you test it again? I just bulk updated
   the author and it worked well.

 * I tested with 0.21 again and tested a bulk change of categories and tags and 
   it worked.
