[YouTube-API] Re: Trouble performing query on authenticated user feed

Hello Jamie,

You normally shouldn't do that. This blog post goes into more
details:

http://apiblog.youtube.com/2012/03/keeping-things-fresh.html

Basically, by adding in the "q" parameter you're turning what would
normally be a requests against the backend database into a request
that goes against the search index, and if these are private or
unlisted videos then they won't appear in the search index. The fact
that you're providing auth info won't work around that limitation of
the search index.

Cheers,
