If you're on the video's page on YouTube, simply add 'multi' to the end of 'youtube' in the address.
"www.youtube.com/..." becomes "www.youtubemulti.com/..."
Alternatively, you can paste the entire address of the video, as shown in the three examples below:
1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct2kbLBuSOg
2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct2kbLBuSOg&feature=channel_video_title
3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct2kbLBuSOg&feature=relmfu
As you can see, the addresses can be different, but they all contain the key piece of information needed - the video ID. The video ID is the value between v= and the & sign (or up to the end of the address like in the first example).
YTmulti also lets you paste the video ID directly as well. For the above examples, which all point to the same video, the video ID would be:
ct2kbLBuSOg
This value should be set to the maximum number of results you expect to get back. For example, if the video is split into three parts then put 3. You might get fewer results, but not more.
If you don't know how many parts there are, you can leave it blank. However, leaving it blank may take longer to search.

Short Answer:
This number lets YTmulti know how different the titles of the videos can be. The higher the number, the more results. However, if the number is too high, not all the results will necessarily be related to the video you selected and you may get duplicate videos. Generally, it's better to have a number that is too high than too low as it would mean that all parts to the video you want should be there anyway (and you can ignore the rest). If you know exactly how many parts there are, you can enter the number under the main search section. YTmulti performs name-checking to improve the results, but if you're not getting the correct results, leave this box blank and search again to remove the name-checking.
Long Answer:
Sometimes the YouTube video titles are not formatted the same for each part. For example, you may have:
"video part 1", "video part - 2", "video part_3".
These are all parts of one long video, but they're not formatted in a consistent manner (one has an underscore, the other has a dash and one has neither). As an example, these titles are formatted in a consistent manner:
"video part 1", "video part 2", "video part 3"
Since not all video titles are formatted the same, it makes it difficult for YTmulti to automatically guess the name of the next video in the series. Instead, this value is used. The higher the value, the more 'different' each title is allowed to be. The difference between "video part 1" and "video_part_1_by_some_user" is greater than the difference between "video part 1" and "video part_-_1". YTmulti performs name-checking to improve the results, but if you're not getting the correct results, leave this box blank and search again to remove the name-checking.
The default value is 5, but you can change this. If you make the number too high, you may get too many results. If the number is too low, you may not get enough results. Therefore, setting a number too high is generally better since it should include all the parts as well as other non-related videos.
Some YouTube videos come in multiple parts. The problem is, when one part is finished, you have to click on the next part each time. This can get annoying if you want to sit away from the computer whilst watching. YTmulti solves this problem for you and you don't even have to sign in or manually create a playlist! (See example of a three part video)
Simply go to the video on YouTube and change the address from 'www.youtube.com/...' to 'www.youtubemulti.com/...'
You can also just copy/paste the YouTube address of the first part into the search box above and let YTmulti get the rest of the parts of the sequence.
Press 'play all videos', sit back and relax. Simple!And, yes, if you're watching in fullscreen mode, all the other videos will continue to play in fullscreen :)
