how to Embed Youtube Video with Autoplay, Looping, and show controls?
Hi How do I make the video work continuously without interruption while at the same time showing control
All you need is to modify url parameter for example autoplay=1 loop=1 and control=1

Please refer YouTube Embedded Players and Player Parameters for more settings.
** we need playlist parameter to make looping work, while the value will be your video id
Note: This parameter has limited support in the AS3 player and in IFrame embeds, which could load either the AS3 or HTML5 player. Currently, the loop parameter only works in the AS3 player when used in conjunction with the playlist parameter. To loop a single video, set the loop parameter value to 1 and set the playlist parameter value to the same video ID already specified in the Player API URL:

I've successfully streamed normal YouTube videos on iOS using the iOS YouTube helper, but live stream does not seem to work.
I am not sure whether live streaming is even supported, but I could not find it in their docs.
Any idea how to make it work on iOS (without breaching ToS)?
The playback of YouTube Live Events is supported by the YTPlayerView iOS helper classes. The player will treat the Live Event video just like a regular YouTube video (as the iFrame player should), and your video should play back no problem with the "Live Broadcast" message replacing the scrubber of the player like so:
The only difference I have noticed is that the video will return an "auto" quality value. I have submitted a patch to handle this case which has been merged in to the official repo here.
I need to stream youtube custom playlist. And each new watcher should begin watch not from playlist start, but proceed watching from a current timeline (like TV).
This playlist i'll generate by myself on a server. The current solution i can imagine it's to generate playlist for each new watcher according to a current timeline with an time offset in a current video.
Is there some another way to enable this feature?
Another solution would be to not use "playlists" at all (as in the actual YouTube playlist functionality). When a user finishes watching a video, make a call to your server to see what the next video should be. Once you know what video to show next, replace the player with the new video, and call the Play function.
To make the experience better, you could preload the next player in the background several seconds before the user finishes their current video.
I work on an automatically music player. To be short, i use the Last.fm api to get a lot of tracks names and tags. Using these tags and some intelligence computing algorithms, once you play a track, the player sets another track (with tags very appropriate to the tags of the track listened before).
I used the youtube API to search for the URL's of the movies, and I managed to make it work. Now I want to make the videos play on my music player. I have tried to place the youtube player on WebView. It works, but not as intended. I want to control that player. I want it to start playing automatically, and I want to get noticed when the video ended so I can start the next one.
Any clues of what should I do to play the videos from youtube based on the search that uses the Youtube API, and to have control over the youtube player that I place on my GUI(make it play and stop from command line)? Or is there any possible way do download the youtube movie and play it using the JavaFX API? I searched google and noticed I cannot download youtube movie into a format that can be played by JavaFX api.
Update Dec 4th, 2015
Some versions of JavaFX 8 are unable to play back youtube video content. Currently, for instance, Java 8u66 cannot playback youtube video content, but Java 8u72 early access release can.
Also note some of the videos referenced in the sample solution are no longer available or are protected from play in embedded video players. So ensure that you perform any tests using available and videos that have not been distribution restricted. Refer to the youtube documentation for information on distribution restriction if need be.
Any clues of what should I do to play the videos from youtube
As a hints to get you started, see code playing YouTube videos in JavaFX and the YouTube HTML5 api.
Here is the sample code I linked running and playing YouTube videos back within a JavaFX WebView with some (very minimal) control over the video playback via interaction with a JavaFX "New Song" button.
Or is there any possible way do download the youtube movie and play it using the JavaFX API? I searched google and noticed I cannot download youtube movie into a format that can be played by JavaFX api.
I think such a usage would violate YouTube's terms of service. I believe YouTube requires you to play the video back using the YouTube video player (let's them insert ads in the video player etc).
5.1 A
you agree not to distribute any part of or parts of the Website or the
Service, including but not limited to any Content, in any medium
without YouTube's prior written authorisation, unless YouTube makes
available the means for such distribution through functionality
offered by the Service (such as the YouTube Player);
5.1 C
you agree not to access Content through any technology
or means other than the video playback pages of the Website itself,
the YouTube Player, or such other means as YouTube may explicitly
designate for this purpose;
I advanced little, but I got stuck to other problems.
First of all, the code from jewelsea was great. Now I could embed the player into a secondary window of my player and it shows the movie based on the URL that i got using the youtube api. But it looks like JavaFX cannot show most of the movies. It shows me the youtube player and an error message saying that I need to install latest version of Adobe Flashplayer. From my research, I noticed that the webView can only show movies with quality set at 240p, not higher.
I have searched a lot on Google how to make my webView to play the 240p quality video. First of all, i tried to set the youtube query parameters (https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_api_query_parameters#formatsp). I tried all the parameters from there: 1,5 and 6. But yet, I did not get the URL of movie with format that can be viewed on the webView of the JavaFX.
I also tried to embed the video quality in the URL of the movie like this:
http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2YZlLhjKs&vq=small:240p ; but it does not work at all. I also wrote that URL in the browser and it looks like the youtube automatically sets the video to the highest quality, no matter what parameter I write in the URL.
The youtube api code that I used is the same like in this webpage: http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/05/getting-started-with-youtube-java-api.html
I just moved the main class code to a method that returns the URL of the first video that is in the list, and I changed the " query.setOrderBy(YouTubeQuery.OrderBy.VIEW_COUNT); "
to " query.setOrderBy(YouTubeQuery.OrderBy.RELEVANCE);". And this works fine, it shows the url to proper music videos that I search.
I am sorry for not showing the code of my project but it is big and it contains 2-3 api keys, and if you tell me how to change the video URL http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2YZlLhjKs to work on the code from this website: https:/gist.github.com/jewelsea/1437374 , then I will know that to do to make it work on my project as well;
And the thing about YouTube playback API also enlightened me. I see that API has a lot of functions that could help me to play a lot easier with the video content (make it play, make it stop) but the problem is that I do not have knowledge about javascript programming and it is very sad that I do not have those methods in Java API as well. Maybe I will give it a try and insert javascript code into my webview. But, if I edit the webview using javascript... Is it going to play higher quality movies on the JavaFX webView?
I'm trying to change the playback rate of an embed youtube video, is there any way to get the video tag?
I know that the video is held in an iframe, could a chrome extension be used to bypass the security?
Any help appreciated :)
YouTube API creates a public JavaScript object that allows you to control the YouTube video. By default the object is called player.
The only problem is if the developer assigned it to another object.
I guess what you need is not to bypass the iframe, you just need to detect the name of that object.
If you're using the HTML5 YouTube player:
document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0]
I have been using the Google data API to search video from Youtube and play it back in a chromeless player as part of a Flash (AS2) swf I have developed. here's my workflow -
Search Youtube with PHP page that includes Zend_Gdata_YouTube class
Retrieve and display videos in a Flash swf which play if user clicks.
Store video ids in database for playback later - like a playlist
Then when the playlist is played (in another swf) the database is read to get the video ids to play and Flash loads the videos as needed.
Here's the problem. While the search works fine and returns thumbnail images of all the videos some of them do not play on click. Using Firebug in firefox I see that the attempted load of the video returns a 204 No content, but there is no info in the response tab. SO ...
a) how would I catch these videos so they dont get returned in the search results?
b) What would happen if a video that did play ok initially later got removed from Youtube, how could I catch this (preferably with flash) and remove it from the playlist (database).
any thoughts?
cheers
