    Does this Plugin load new Vids, instantly when they are uploaded to YouTube?
    I have a hard time to figure that out while free Version and sort by viewcount.

    Hi, no it doesn’t. You can reduce the cache period to few minutes if you’re uploading videos often.

    Ok, thanks.
    so when i set the cache to 1 minute, i will see the videos like instantly.
    But that would raise the traffic, no?
    What’s the triggering event for re-caching?
    Is it like a cronjob, periodically from server,
    or rather user triggered, like cookie expiering?

    The trigger is a site visitor. So if you set cache time to 1 minute and no one visits your site for 5 minutes, it will only refresh when a visitor comes to your site in 5 minutes.

    Refreshing every 1 minute will indeed make many YouTube API calls, your API Key will cross limits soon and you’ll have to create a new one. If your site visitors are only in the thousands, then API Key will still last a few months.
