Topic: Questions about instructions pasted below

Hi, this seems like a cool little plugin and I will be happy to make a donation if I am able to utilize it effectively! 
Below I have posted some text that I copied from instructions provided either on your site or on the blog, after installing the plugin.

1)  "These options allow you to update your Twitter status reflecting the link to the new video post added to your Wordpress blog."
I can't  find anything mentioning Twitter on the menu associated with the plugin or anywhere else?  I  did allow the plugin to update itself, so should be using the most current?  Is Twitter function planned, but not active yet, or am I missing something? 
The menu options under Youtube Posts are:
Settings
Import Videos
Reset Settings

2) "Import the latest videos every:___ hours
This plugin only imports videos when an administrator is logged in."

What does that mean?  Which administrator?  Me, or is it something to  do with the YouTube Account, where the plugin is getting the vids from?  What is the implications of this?  Is it possible to specify the number of vids to import and when?  I guess not, but perhaps put this on the Wish List.

3) "Set this to determine how many hours to wait between imports. If you just can't wait click here."

Does it automatically import an entire youtube account library?  Can you tell  it to import X videos per day, or every ___ days, for example?  My objective is to have it bring in fresh content in the form of videos on a regular, recurring basis, but not to import an entire library all at one time.  Can  you clarify or advise?

Thanks a bunch.  I hope I can make this work for me.  It seems like a cool little device.

Re: Questions about instructions pasted below

1) The twitter functions are deprecated. They used to be a function of the plugin and they have since been removed.

2) This means an administrator of your blog. I may have disabled this feature as well. It was initially designed so that the performance of the site wouldn't suffer for users during the importing of videos.

3) This plugin will automatically parse the latest 25 videos. If you want to import more you have to do it manually using the buttons available on the Import page.

Re: Questions about instructions pasted below

So to  clarify on #3.  Once it imports the latest 25 videos, is that static?  If other words, if more videos are added to the youtube account, then they become "the latest", would they now become part of "the latest 25 videos" or would it just be the first 25 and after that, it has to be manual?

Thanks!

Re: Questions about instructions pasted below

The plugin will continually import the latest 25 videos. If you add a new video it becomes part of the latest 25. If you want ti import videos uploaded further in the past than the latest 25, then you'll need to use the import aspects of the plugin.
