    <p><em>(I've <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=3599" rel="nofollow">submitted a bug report to YouTube</a> but thought someone here might have some insight)</em></p> <p>It seems that the YouTube API is suddenly (past 24 hours or so) demanding a leading "PL" in playlist IDs when requesting playlist feeds. Here's how you can reproduce:</p> <ol> <li>Make an API call to <a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/PL83FF64CDA043CBC4?v=2" rel="nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/PL83FF64CDA043CBC4?v=2</a></li> <li>Make an API call to <a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/83FF64CDA043CBC4?v=2" rel="nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/83FF64CDA043CBC4?v=2</a></li> </ol> <p>You'll notice that the actual playlist identifier (83FF64CDA043CBC4) is the same in each case, but the first call is prefixed with "PL".</p> <p>The playlist itself is viewable at both</p> <ol> <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL83FF64CDA043CBC4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL83FF64CDA043CBC4</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=83FF64CDA043CBC4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=83FF64CDA043CBC4</a></li> </ol> <p>According to <a href="http://apiblog.youtube.com/2012/08/playlists-now-with-more-pl.html" rel="nofollow">this blog post</a>, the API should be <em>tolerant</em> of the leading "PL", but in this case it seems to demand it.</p> <p>Anyone have some insight into the sudden change?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
