[YouTube-API] Re: Line breaks within Youtube feeds

Hello Patrick,

I believe that when you retrieve a video's description from a video
search feed, the text is munged a bit—URLs are truncated, and it
sounds like newlines are affected as well. This matches what you'd see
displayed for video descriptions on the search results page of
youtube.com.

If you need the full, unmodified video description, you'd need to
retrieve the actual video entry, i.e.

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/VIDEO_ID
