 * Awesome plugin!
 * Feature Request:
 * Would be nice to be able to use shortcode for specific author/channel only.
 * Also would be nice to display date below latest video when using latest video
   shortcode like the full list shows.
 * Add these 2 features and it deserves 5 stars…
 * Thanks,
    Jeff

 * You can already use it for a specific author/channel only. It’s what you have
   to enter in the admin interface.

 * I’m not clear about that. I’ve got two channels “coming in” to External Videos,
   and I’d like to be able to decide which of those channels to display in a given
   location.
 * Is there a shortcode for this? For example, let’s say I get videos from “johnsmith”
   and “johndoe.” I may have a box on my site “Videos from John Smith” where I only
   want to show that channel, and a different place I want to show John Doe’s vids.
 * I’m imagining something like **[external-videos author=”johnsmith”]** in one 
   spot and **[external-videos author=”johndoe”]** in another.
 * Does that make sense? 🙂

 * Ah, I understand now. No, this feature doesn’t exist yet. Would need an extension
   to the shortcode codes.

 * I was hoping for the same thing. I know, I know, it is free, don’t complain. 
   But I have two different Channels with two different kinds of content. Each Channel
   needs to go onto a different page on my site. Wondering if there is any new info
   on this subject?
 * Thank you very much for your superior work.
