I have downloaded and installed the plugin but when I create an article and put

{[youtube]}xxxxxxxx{/[youtube]}

in it and save the article, I cannot view it. I get the following error:
Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site:
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?optio ... &itemid=83.
Operation aborted
I am able to open articles in this section and category that aren't using the plugin.

Could you tell me what I need to do to fix this.

Thanks

Oh, by the way FusionX1 you get the [youtube] id for the video you want at [youtube]. The easiest way is to go to the video you want to embed. In the URL at the top you will see something like:

http://www.[youtube].com/watch?v=1hnB20w6bgQ

The string after v= is the id for that video.

When I put in the code nothing comes up, I've enabled the plugin and inserted the code into an article and nothing shows. Can you confim that Im putting in the correct code:


{[youtube]}<object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.[youtube].com/v/LTg6zkJVFuE"> </param> <embed src="http://www.[youtube].com/v/LTg6zkJVFuE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object>{/[youtube]}

I've since found a better plugin that works straightaway - mgmediabot2. OK so it's running in legacy mode in 1.5 but it works!!!

Hi Steve. Excuse me for my poor english...
I'm a beginner, but it seems to me it's simpler than you believe ... in your example you have only to write {[youtube]}LTg6zkJVFuE{/[youtube]} in your article in Joomla! The plugin inserts the details for you; if you want you can see the generated html when the page is displayed. I hope this helps you!
Bye, Andrea.

Hello, it's really nice plugin I use it in my project until now. I need to put video tu module and plugin doesn't work.

I create custom module and insert my video into: {[youtube]}edwdwefw{/[youtube]} On front page in this module I saw teh same code: {[youtube]}edwdwefw{/[youtube]} without a video.

As I understand this plugin need some tweaking or modification to show videos in modules ?

I'm right ?

Maybe some one could help me to solve this problem or advice some other plugin ?

Thank you.

Have you tried it in for example Firefox? If it works there I think you need to tweak the security/privacy options in IE.

Stian
Plugin works fine in both IE and Firefox when you are not logged in as a user of the Joomla site.
Once you login (or already logged in), it can't open the page in either IE or Firefox!!!!!!

Sounds like it's a Joomla/[youtube] plugin issue to me!

Hi,

I have installed this plugin, i have create a new article and i have wrote {[youtube]}IDxxxx{/[youtube]}

When I enter in that article i can see the box with the video, but when i push the "play" button the video doesnt load and this message appears:

We're are sorry, this video is no longer available

It happens with all the [youtube] videos. I can see the video in the [youtube] web but in my site is no loger available

¿any idea?

Thanks

Problem with Internet explorer and embedding [youtube] videos is explained well in following webpage:http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=681

I fixed this problem by modifying [youtube].php in plugins/content folder. Replace what is in the "else" branch (line 38) with:

Code: Select all

$html .= '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:' . $newSize["width"] . 'px; height:' . $newSize["height"] . 'px;"';

$html .= ' data="http://www.[youtube].com/' . $playerType . '/' . $query . '"><param name="movie" value="http://www.[youtube].com/' .$playerType . '/' . $query\
 . '"/></object>';

This should generate proper code that won't crash IE and works in Firefox too.

Also disable SWF object use and inclusion in plugin setup!

I was also having the problem with IE users getting a fatal error and vladanjovanovic's solution worked for me. (though the else statement was on line 85 instead of 38 in plugins/content/[youtube].php). Secondly, in the code vladanjovanovic posted, it has...

Code: Select all

'/' . $query\
. '"/></object>';
php was giving me warnings over that "\" in there, so I got rid of it...

Code: Select all

'/' . $query . '"/></object>';

It still is displaying that code, not the video.

I’m testing your player and it work perfecly... I like to embeded a custom player from [youtube]. How do you do that, because I didn’t find a tutorial or some hints in the documentation?

Thanks in advance for your help!

UPDATE: I was able to play a custom player and is attach vidéos by inserting the full [youtube] code:

{[youtube]}<object width="746" height="413"><param name="movie" value="http://www.[youtube].com/cp/xxxxxxxxxxxxx ... ram><embed src="http://www.[youtube].com/cp/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="746" height="413"></embed></object>{/[youtube]}

Curiously that doesn’t work with the default player with a playlist?????
I have to insert the normal code to make it work:
{[youtube]}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx{/[youtube]}

and both make the original video bigger ( Ireally like them to play at 100% of the size
I kept the plugin without size to be able to play videos of different size...

Anybody know how to insert the size in the code or to say to you tube to play them at 100%?

Good Day everybody! :)

Thank you for this great plugin. I installed it and it worked without any problems.
Just one thing: I'd like to use additional parameters , e. g. one named "allowFullScreen".
Do I have to change the code in "[youtube].php" or is there a less difficult way?
Regards,
Roland

Re: Plugin for [youtube] videos - Cant get custom player working

Post by sw6media » Fri May 15, 2009 3:12 am

Hi mate,

I am trying to get my custom player working on my site and cant seem to get it to show.
I can get a single video playing no prob.

But i have tried every (almost) combination of link and nothing seems to show at all.

Here is the original link to the custom player which works in a browser by it self.
"http://www.[youtube].com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFOYw ... gB8bCHPkk="

and ive tried.{[youtube]}.......{/[youtube]}
vjVQa1PpcFOYwXPgT-_outmEMHfYRP-8XvgB8bCHPkk=
vjVQa1PpcFOYwXPgT
8XvgB8bCHPkk=
outmEMHfYRP-8XvgB8bCHPkk=
etc

Am i doing anything wrong?

Thanks,

nick

I'm new to this, but have you tried the following:

{[youtube]}<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.[youtube].com/v/hSfikcr7txU&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.[youtube].com/v/hSfikcr7txU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>{/[youtube]}


Also to just play it normally on the page you can try the followng:

{[youtube]}hSfikcr7txU{/[youtube]}
I have taken the embed parameters from [youtube].

When you are creating the article with the video embedded, make sure you go into edit HTML. I have found that it has a habit of adding in HTML attributes.

In HTML view this is correct:

<p>Test Video 3</p></div></span><p>{[youtube]}o7Tqk-xf4s4{/[youtube]} </p>

This is wrong:

<p>Test Video 3 </p><p> {[youtube]}o7Tqk-xf4s4{/[youtube]}</p><p> </p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal" class="Apple-style-span"><div style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3em; font-size: 76%; color: #333333; display: block">

Hope it helps

Cannot install plugin

Post by pal4life26 » Fri Aug 14, 2009 9:54 pm

hi,
Sorry for being a nobb.
I downlaoded the zip for the plugin on to my hard drive and from the Extension manager-> upload package File. Selected the zip file and clicked on upload and install but joomla instead returns a message saying Unable to find install package. Also tried to install using the URL http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsre ... ube1.1.zip
Got the same response. Is there an alternative way to install this plugin or am I doing this the wrong way?

Thanking you

Works great for me...however it would be nice to add a [youtube] button to the editor toolbar that will insert the {[youtube]}{/[youtube]} code only needing to add the ID in between the two...
