First of all, make sure you understand Jamroom's templating system and how to edit templates - checkoutour documention here - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/contents - the 'Admin Handbook' docs are a good place to start. Then, its likely just a case of editing the VideoPro index.tpl template changing the {jrCore_list...} calls from 'jrVideo' tp 'jrYouTube', along with any parameters the calls may have.

I have tried that and nothing seems to work

{* /////////// DO NOT REMOVE ////////// *}
{assign var="page_template" value="index"}
{* /////////// DO NOT REMOVE ////////// *}

{jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}

{jrCore_include template="index_slides.tpl"}
{jrCore_module_url module="jrYouTube" assign="murl"}




{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=50 default="New Releases"}






{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
order_by="_item_id numerical_desc"
limit="18"
template="index_item_1.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}








{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=49 default="Staff Picks"}






{if strlen($_conf.jrVideoPro_staff_picks) > 0}
{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
limit="27"
search="_item_id in `$_conf.jrVideoPro_staff_picks`"
template="index_item_2.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}
{else}
{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
limit="27"
order_by="video_file_stream_count numerical_desc"
template="index_item_2.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}
{/if}








{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=51 default="Top Rated"}





{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
limit="18"
order_by="video_rating_overall_average_count numerical_desc"
template="index_item_4.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}








{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=52 default="Most Watched"}





{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
chart_days=$_conf.jrVideoPro_watched_days
chart_field="video_file_stream_count"
limit="21"
template="index_item_3.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}








{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=53 default="New Series"}




{if $_conf.jrVideoPro_list_1_active != 'off'}

{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
order_by="_item_id numerical_desc"
limit="27"
group_by="video_album"
template="index_item_2.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}


{/if}






{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=48 default="Comedy"}





{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
order_by="_item_id numerical_desc"
limit="18"
search="video_category = comedy"
template="index_item_4.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}








{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=54 default="Drama"}





{jrCore_list
module="jrYouTube"
order_by="_item_id numerical_desc"
limit="18"
search="video_category = drama"
template="index_item_4.tpl"
require_image="video_image"
}









{jrCore_include template="footer.tpl"}

My guess would be that the templates used for the jrCore_list functions are not setup for YouTube but rather uploaded Videos.

You'll want to modify the templates used by the jrCore_list functions to work with the YouTube module. ie. index_item_1.tpl etc.

Hope this helps!

Start with something simple, and use the youtube_ prefix, not the video_ prefix:

what am i doing wrong


{jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}

{jrCore_include template="index_slides.tpl"}
{jrCore_module_url module="jrYoutube" assign="murl"}




{jrCore_lang skin="jrVideoPro" id=50 default="New Releases"}






{jrCore_list
module="jrYoutube"
order_by="_item_id numerical_desc"
limit="18"
template="index_item_1.tpl"
require_image="youtube_image"
}

From what you just posted you are spelling it wrong.

jrYouTube

I have corrected the spelling but on the page i now see>> No items found

{if isset($_items)}
{jrCore_module_url module="jrYouTube" assign="murl"}
{$page = 0}
{foreach from=$_items item="item"}
{if $item.list_rank%6 == 1}
{$page = $page+1}

{/if}




{jrCore_module_function
function="jrImage_display"
module="jrYouTube"
type="youtube_image"
item_id=$item._item_id
size="xxlarge"
crop="16:9"
class="img_scale"
alt=$item.video_title
width=false
height=false
}


{$item.video_album|truncate:40}
{$item.video_title|truncate:30}




{if $item.list_rank%6 == 0 || $item.list_rank == $info.total_items}

{/if}
{/foreach}
{else}
{jrCore_include template="no_items.tpl"}
{/if}

Then there are no items which match your search.

You are searching for YouTube items with images and there are none on your system.

You could try making it simpler by removing the require_image part?

Not sure, put {debug} into the template to see which variables are available.

I have no idea of what you are talking about. This part is a total headache

This one is working but i am unable to pull YouTube thumbnail images.
I have attached a screenshot of how YouTube videos are appearing now on the homepage

Please assist me in pulling YouTube Thumbnails. Its currently displaying this image (youtube/image/youtube_image/8/xxlarge/crop=16:9)

YouTube thumbnail images are not store locally, as they are with videos, but the YT item data provides a URL to them.
Take a look at the YouTube module item_list.tpl template to see how its done, then edit your index_item_1.tpl accordingly.
The code to show a YT thumbnail will be something like this -
