I have a TW of songs we perform at my church, one song per tiddler. So far
I've been manually looking for youtube links for those songs, but I'm
wondering if there is some way to do this more automatically, or at least
without having to switch back and forth so much between browsers.

My current solution (assuming you know the youtube url for the song) is a
macro that takes the URL as a parameter and displays it with this:
"+++[<img src =http://www.youtube.com/favicon.ico>]<html><object width='425'
height='355'><param name='movie' value='" + link + "'></param><param
name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='" + link + "'
type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425'
height='355'></embed></object></html>==="

This gives me a youtube icon that, when I click on it, expands to show an
embedded youtube player. Works well.

What would be cool is to have a macro that, given the song title, queries
youtube and parses the resulting html for song links, then display them as
options for the user (they could be embedded youtube viewers similar to
above). The user could select one and that URL would be placed in my
videolink field (an extended field I have on the tiddler).

I think the big part I'm missing is the html-parsing; is there any existing
code to help me with this, or do I just need to roll my own in javascript?

Or is there another elephant in the room I'm not seeing?
