Is it possible that whem i am not streaming in youtube it will show my previous video in my website that where i use embeded code
No, you cannot do that however there are various ways by which you can show a video offline.
I am using a light box type of player to open and play you tube videos. My people don't want the video link to be accessible or shared from within the player.
I.E they only want the video to play when the video loads in the player. So they don't want the share button visible and they don't want the YouTube icon that links directly to the video visible.
I can remove the share button and I can remove the YouTube icon but not at the same time.So there is always an easy way for the user to get the video url and share it etc...
I can also chose the videos to be private and that removes both. But then all of my users would need a google account which they dont.
It seems to me that Google wouldn't offer free use to its player without some type of reference to You Tube. Either with the share button or the You Tube icon that links to the video.
i have tried modifying the url parameters (embed?v=#v_ID#&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=0&wmode=transparent&modestbranding=1&controls=0") to no avail.
And I have tried using embed and watch to no avail..
Is there a way to do this?
You can append the following onto the end of the YouTube embed url, to remove the Watch on YouTube button from the playback controls which is accomplished by setting modestbranding to 1. The player controls are NOT removed. they are just auto0hidden by setting the parameter autohide to 1.

Here's a sample format to solves your issue:
I am trying to embed the latest YouTube video from a channel. However, the video has disabled playback on third-party websites. Rather than displaying the error message to the user, I would like to simply display the video so that when the user clicks to play the video, they are redirected to watch on YouTube. How can I achieve this?
Alternatively, I would be fine with fetching the title, image, and URL and displaying them as HTML, if this is possible.
It'd be better to just put the image and URL.
Given that you know your video id:
All URLs are in the format
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video id>
Each video has 4 corresponding images which are
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<video id>/0.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<video id>/1.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<video id>/2.jpg
http://img.youtube.com/vi/<video id>/3.jpg
0.jpg is a full size image, while the other three are thumbnails.
Is it possible to control(to show my own list of video) the related video thumbnails that are shown after the video is completed ?
If you create an official "PLAYLIST" on youtube
then you can control the order of max 200 videos.
You simply embed the playlist-code for that list.
Is it possible to remove the YouTube logo from a chromeless player?
You can't and you shouldn't.
If you use the Embeddable Player on
your website, you may not modify,
build upon, or block any portion or
functionality of the Embeddable
Player, including but not limited to
links back to the YouTube website.

Detailed explanation avaialble in How to Remove YouTube Logo on Embed Videos?

You can't do this using the chromeless player, but you don't have to use it. You can stream videos directly by parsing the URL like such: youtube get_video not working
I had to do this to get more direct video access within flash, since you have limited access with chromeless player due to flash's crossdomain.xml
But as far as Youtube's terms go, if you do this you may have to have a link back to the Youtube source, else you risk copyright infringement of sorts, but I'm not sure.
You can't remove the youtube logo from the youtube player. But you can do indirect way means you can hide the youtube logo from the display area.
youtube logo height is 50 pixel. So Set your player height is your video height (accepted video display area height) + 100. and set vertical (y axis) position -50 (Minus 50).
Ans just do the masking for the your video display area. So End user will not get youtube logo on your application player. Please visit this Question.
