Hi There,
I use Youtube playlist plugin, which is
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... nnels/3659
to display video playlist on my site : www.ramkabirbhajans.org/video
Everything was working fine and yesterday suddenly all playlist video stopped working. It just shows blank space ... However, it plays individual youtube videos (not the playlist) fine. Does anyone have similar problem ?
I tried uninstalling my plugin and installing fresh one but did not solve the problem.
Can anyone help ? I have tonnes of videos on site with playlist.
I have joomla 1.5. Any suggestion on alternative Joomla 1.5 plugin that can play youtube playlist ? I know there are many who can play youtube videos but I want the one that can play both ... anyone's response is highly welcome.

I do not see any embed code for a playlist anywhere on any of those video pages.
They all look like embeds of single videos.
And no other broken embed code was found.

A playlist ID is very different from a video ID so if the playlist embed code was correct I would not expect to see one of your videos if the plug-in was somehow misinterpreting the ID.

Please post:
- a link to the exact page where the playlist should appear
- the actual plug-in code being used to embed the playlist

Hi kenmcd,
Thank you for writing.
As I wrote, We are using the following plugin "Youtube playlist plugin".
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... nnels/3659
As per their description : This simple little plugin will display the YouTube Flash player in your articles when {youtube}xxxxxx{/youtube} is inserted in the text, where xxxxxx is the YouTube ID for chosen video, playlist or custom player.

Our Youtube channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ramkabirbhajans

For our discussion, lets take this example playlist:
Funeral Procession Bhajans
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... ature=plcp

This is our web page where we embed it
http://ramkabirbhajans.org/video/funera ... on-bhajans

The plugin code we have put in our article is {youtube}15C37BBCE0E3B096{/youtube}

It used to work fine for more than a year but it stopped working recently. we had lot many pages in video section, all with playlist but since it has stopped working, we have unpublished them. I have republished few of them so you can have a look at the problem.
Note: Article 3 in video section, titled Ghaluda Bhajan Mandal has just one video (not a playlist) and I have kept it for comparison/analysis purpose. It is showing correctly.

If there is anything you need pl. let me know. Thank you in advance for your time and concern.

YouTube is constantly changing, and that is apparently what happened.

The plug-in is calling this link for the playlist player:
http://www.youtube.com/p/15C37BBCE0E3B096&rel=0&border=0
That link is not working and returns nothing.

If I remove the trailing parameters like this
http://www.youtube.com/p/15C37BBCE0E3B096
it works.

Modifying the plug-in to remove those parameters would also affect the single embeds.
So you have a few options.

YouTube now gives you an embed code on your playlist pages.
For example for your playlist you linked above
Code:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PL15C37BBCE0E3B096&amp;hl=en_US" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


The AllVideos Reloaded extension enables you to make custom embed codes.
So a {youtubeplaylist} tag can be created with the new embed code.
I have done this many times and can guide you through the process.
Then you just enter a tag like before and the YouTube playlist player appears.

There are some other YouTube playlist extensions in the JED.
http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=youtube+playlist

My own YouTube feed gallery module can display YouTube playlists in a thumbnail gallery.
The user can see all the videos available and play the video in a pop-up.
Examples:
http://allmedia4joomla.sourceforge.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=2

Thanks kenmcd again for posting your insight for our problem.
As you correctly mention, youtube seem to have changed something and the url returned by this plugin is not proper. We tried to modify the plugin file so that the outcome would be desired url and we succeeded in it.
For the benefit of other users who are facing similar problem, I am attaching herewith the file. All one has to do is to upload this file (change the attached file to youtube.php) in /plugin directory of their joomla installation, so it replace their existing youtube.php file.
Thanks kenmcd for your inputs and active involvement.
