Hi,

Thanks for you post.

The problem with the youtube feed is that it includes a load of extra code in the description. There is no easy to remove the extra code when importing it - you might be able to remove it when outputting it. It might be worth looking for a youtube feed with a simpler output, without all the extra stuff you don;t want.

Sorry - not much help…
