    Hi Chris

    Love this plugin. One issue, when we sort by Keyword as the parameter, it will result in non-English videos on occasions, particularly if the KW is broad. Is there an option in the YouTube API to either have a) only English videos or b) only from say youtube UK or Australia or something?

    Hi and thanks for great idea + also providing the link.
    So I’ve added two more attributes/parameters/whatever with now v1.4.5:

    lang="{2-letter-language-code}"

    and also

    region="{2-letter-country-code}"

    ..which is said to only show videos that are actually viewable in a region/country. I usually run into blocked content all the time. But just when I actually need one for the purpose of testing, I can’t find any^^. So I hope that works, too.

    As I understand, a proper country restriction is not possible. There is “location” parameter mentioned in the YouTube API docs but it’s disabled at the moment. Maybe it’ll be available again someday.
