Allowing Youtube Channels in Smoothwall

[fiza]

We currently block Youtube for Students via Smoothwall but allow individual videos. Is there a way to allow a complete channel and all videos in it to be viewable? I can find KB articles to allow playlists but that's not the same as allowing a complete channel. For example I would like to allow all videos in https://www.youtube.com/c/DrFrostMaths/featured

 

Is it possible please?

Not to my knowledge I'm afraid. The channel front page can be allowed by using url patterns but once you click on a video to watch, the URL is just like any other video with no apparent way to tie that into the channel.

Smoothwall set this up for us a couple of years ago, I posted about it here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/smoothwall-direct-support/204438-youtube-channel.html @CSmith pointed me in the right direction and smoothwall did some changes to allow specific youtube channels

@ibpalle - do you think this could be done for us please?

According to our blocklist team the method used for allowing a channel back then, no longer works. Instead the list of video or playlist IDs needs to be allowed like in the KB:
