[YouTube-API] Re: Batch Video Position Updates return '500 - Internal Error'

Hello Michael,

This sounds like an issue that was first reported at

https://groups.google.com/group/youtube-api-gdata/browse_thread/thread/42c3d7b4563c73b0

(that thread also contains a bug report about retrieving playlists,
but that issue should be fixed.)

The issue with spurious 500 internal errors being returned after a
successful playlist update unfortunately hasn't been addressed by the
engineering team yet, but it's on their radar of things that need to
be worked on soon. Apologies in the meantime.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
