youtube with style

The youtube with style plugin allows WordPress users to easily embed a youtube video
without the default youtube player, instead with a stylish player.

You can add a video via the post media manager, and search using the You Tube API, and preview videos and automatically insert them into your post without leaving your site.

This way you won’t have go back and forth from youtube and your wordpress screen.

You can also use a widget to place videos in your sidebar, that uses a cross browser compliant lightbox to view the videos.

Alternatively you can use the youtube shortcode.

This way you won’t have go back and forth from youtube and your wordpress screen.

    Hello, I downloaded your plugin and when I turn the following error occurred: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $ end in D: \ wamp \ www \ energiafm \ wp-content \ plugins \ youtube-with-style \ youtube.php on line 395. So I sent this data to the server and tried the same procedure, the error that occurred was the same. Hope you can help me, because it is an excellent plugin! Thank you for all !!

    I am just trying your plugin. It’s nice and simple but I have some problems. It works ok when you get to the post the videos are on… However, when I click on the category the post is in I get a lot of flash code showing on the post page. Like this:
    var flashvars = {};
    flashvars.playOnStart = “false”;
    flashvars.startVolume = “70″;
    flashvars.autoHideOther = “false”;
    flashvars.autoHideVideoControls = “false”;
    flashvars.onStartShowControls = “true”;
    ….. and so on.
    I thought it might be incompatable with revewazon plugin but it’s the same problem when I deactivate it. Not to worry too much, I’m sure it’s some incompatability. I shall work through it and see if I can report the problem.

    Anyway, sorry to sound negative, I’m not really, I love the extra dimension this gives.

    Also, in the next version could you make it so I can pick out multiple videos in one selection – it is tedious repeating the exact process over and over for multiple vids per page.

    Keep up the good work..

    Hi Fris, your plugin is great but unfortunately not compatible with Fancy Gallery, http://dennishoppe.de/wordpress-plugins/fancy-gallery ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fancy-gallery/ ).
    That is, your plugin works, but I do not work anymore other. :)

    Would like to use this plugin as a widget, but every time I add it to the sidebar the background has large red dots which make the sidebar impossible to read. Do you know what this could be?

    How could i change the size if i want to resize the another videos different from the default setting ?,

  16. Richard Link

    Hi,

    I am using your plugin on several blogs I tweak and manage for clients. However, what I am not sure of, is how to make the plugin embed HD content (720p or 1080p).

    For example, on http://www.garuda-blog.nl, the featured videos display at bismal quality, even though they are available as hi-res on YouTube itself.

    Is this something you can manage from the plugin or does YouTube simply not allow for HD embeddable content?

    Can you please let me know? Thanks so much.

    Richard

    Is there any way to remove youtube watermark? Please!

  20. Ryan Fisher Link

    It appears that the fullscreen button in the widget version of this is not working. I was also wondering if it is possible to set the player to dim the background while it’s open. I edited the highslide javascript files and added in the variable for dimming (dimmingOpacity: 0.50 dimmingDuration: 50) but it didn’t have any effect. Lastly, is there any way to change the size of the widget version of the player? Or is it dependent on the youtube content?

    Great plug-in, thanks!

    Even though “HD is on”, the HD version is not showing. The first video is using “Smart Youtube” plugin and the second video is using “Youtube with style”. I tried inserting the hd=1 code into youtube.php file, but it does not work. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    More feedback…

    By toggling the “HD is on” button off and on while playing the video, the HD version does finally come on. Unfortunately, the HD version does not play any other way.

    Hi! I’ve installed this plugin yesterday, and everything was ok until i’ve hanged “widget title” . Now instead of widget i have information: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/e-compex/ftp/hanuka/gettoknowneweurope/wp-content/plugins/youtube-with-style/inc/widget.php on line 19. What am I doing wrong? Is there possibility to reset this plugin so it would work again?

    I would love to know if there is a way to style the VIDEO background color, or black bar via CSS, or from within the code? Has anyone attempted to style the colors to match their site? Or is black our only option?

    Ok…I’ve honestly been trying to figure this out for a while and can’t get it.
    The gallery feature means you can have multiple videos in a set similar to a playlist on your site.

    If that is the case, how do I go about setting that up. I’ve searched just about everywhere and can’t find instructions :-(

    problem – we rely on facebook promotion of our new video pages. Facebook must have changed the way they grab information from the page, but now, in the description they grab, they also disply a large chunk of the “youtube with style” plugin code. This is however I post the url into facebook, and it can’t be removed. any ideas please email webmaster. Thanks

  43. carlos Link

    curious minds want to know, how one goes about setting up YouTube videos gallery

  47. David McCarthy Link

    Hi Chris.
    After testing lots of plugins, I want to use ‘Youtube with style’ in my first WP site. However, when I activate it, a button is removed from TinyMCE. The button is added by ‘Cool Video Gallery’ by Praveen Rajan. I need to use CVG to get around the YouTube blocking some large companies implement.

    Can you help work out what the problem is? I don’t understand php, but can edit it, given instructions.

    Many thanks.

  48. mike Link

    Chris how do you make the Gallery work. I dont see any shortcode anywhere or discussion on how to insert a gallery into a widget or page?
    Thanks
