Is it possible to modify the URL used to embed YouTube videos in an iframe (http://www.youtube.com/embed/_AJS0lgT-4a)? For example, adding the channel name.
My organization blocks YouTube so I need to create a rule on our proxy server to allow users to access our channel only.
Thank you.
Yes, if you load the videos directly from the user's channel, it'll look like this:
http://www.youtube.com/user/vsauce#p/u/4/CSf8i8bHIns
So you'd be on the user's channel homepage.
"/user/username" is your golden ticket, and #videoid will point to the video if you want to link directly to it.
Multiple other varibles are passed in the url that you can make exceptions for, most notably a playlist. This string will appear somewhere in the url, generally tacked onto the end:
"&list=PLAYLISTIDHERE" ex. "&list=PLE126C843377DCE64"
One of those should do the trick as long as the admins are willing to play nice!
Best of luck!

Trying to write a tool to grab YT information, and I'm starting out with the banner image. Usually I use Inspect Element and it will tell me the source, however on a channel like this I see no such URL. Id like to be able to, in my script, use something like wget and have it grab the image.
My hopes are to NOT have to rely on the YT API to save users from having to go through that.
I'm just trying to see if there is a URL scheme to retrieve a channel's banner. Thanks
In case it's better for me to add it all in one question, here it goes: I'd like to be able to grab all of the following w/o the API:
user avatar (highest quality)
video watermark (also in highest qual.)
channel description
related urls (at the top right, usually a channel's twitter account, main website, etc.)
YouTube supports interactive-transcripts, using both machine-generated and user-uploaded transcripts. This is very useful for hearings, lectures, speeches, and educational videos where a visitor might want to read along or jump around. For example in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY3U2GXhz44
The visitor can click on "...More" and then "Transcript" to view the interactive-transcript.
How does a video owner make that hidden feature automatically open for visitors? I cannot find any documented method for doing that through the API for either embed or linked videos. Is there an undocumented method in the API, or a URL parameter like "&action-panel-transcript=true" that works the way I'd expect it to?
As for url parameter, you can try adding &cc_load_policy=1 behind the rel=0 if it's an embedded video or &yt:cc=on at the end of the url if it's a link to the video.

this is how youtube displays multiple playlist...how can I add this just like they have it to my site AND to linkedin profile?
embedding the share html link just brings in playlist but it does not display properly....I need it to appear exactly like it does in attached pic???
Linking to your LinkedIn profile, I have not tried. So perhaps someone else can tell you.
As to having a section like the one you showed to be on your own site is doable.
Firstly you will need to collect the playlist ID's that you are going to use.
Then you will need to get the video ID's from the video's in each Playlist.
This can be done with the API.
As to the displaying it like on youtube, you will need to do that yourself with one or more combination of table's, div's and CSS. Then With the information you grabbed in the APi, populate it.
Best to do it in a loop so as to be done all at the same time. Then put it to the page where you require it to be.
what is the approach to store multiple videos from an author in his named folder, but then there are 1-n videos from this author?
YouTube has for every video a complete different URL with an ID. Casual/Older users don't know where they are.
News sites seem use /topic/title-id123
Cnn uses /yyyy/mm/dd/title
To keep this question answerable: What URL structure would you recommend for me?
- every person has some videos without interesting title we could use
- the date from start day to end day is more likely important (2005-12-12 to 2005-12-17)
- every video should be social media shareable, so I think they all need a single URL and can't just be all embedded in /videos/name
Store them however is the best for the backend editor workflow (you didn't mention, how and when new videos are added), in 6.2 you have file abstraction layer, so each file in fileadmin has assigned ID. If you want to make your videos nicely social media sharable, you need to provide additional metadata such as video name and thumbnail etc, so I would suggest building a plugin for this which would take the video ID from the URL and display it with all the additional data necessary.
If you are using EXT:realurl (which I hope you are), you can configure to the video title in the URL, which would look like: /somepage/video/video-title/ or even /somepage/video-title/ . Adding /yyyy/mm/dd/ in the URL only makes sense if you are producing multiple videos every day, otherwise it feels pointless.
for building unique URLs with realurl for news you find solutions to include the uid of the news.
As TYPO3 handles all files with FAl you might use the unique file_sys:uid in your video URL. You might use realurl to generate and resolve URLs like:
/videos/123/title_of_video/
I have a rails app that I am looking into implementing videos. I know how embed the videos etc but I am confuse on how to do something like this.
I would like a user to have videos. When a users goes to add a video I want to give them the option of embedding a youtube video or a vimeo video(Should I write out if statement?) without having 2 completely different urls.
For example
If user embeded a youtube video url would look like this
mysite.com/videos/1/youtube/1
If a user were to add video it would look like this
mysite.com/videos/1/youtube/new
What I would like to implement is the user would go to video and then have the choice of choosing vimeo or youtube. Ater the user has input the url of the video and click create i would like urls to look like(whether its youtube, vimeo or uploaded from cpu)
mysite.com/videos/1
mysite.com/videos/new
What is the best way to approach this? Would it be nested resources then rewrite the url paths?
There are many solutions to this problem and I ended up using gem called oembed to handle processing of embedded files from youtube, vimeo etc.
figured this out forgot to update question. Check out solution here

From a RESTful perspective, the resource that you are requesting is the video. The mechanism of how that video is requested (whether that is Vimeo or Youtube) is irrelevant from the perspective of identifying the resource. The format of the video being requested is simply a parameter of the request. In your controller, you can decide how to render the video based on the parameters (or potentially other aspects of the request header). Your video should clearly exist as a resource as
mysite.com/videos/1
Let the parameters or the HTTP request dictate how that is rendered.
