Thanks for checking and letting me know about the auto-play!
I'm going to assume the Android browser also doesn't support auto-play because, after tweaking the embed code a bit, I can see the video on my phone but it doesn't auto-play either.
Thanks for checking, Allen.
I'm just using the iframe embed link, http://www.youtube.com/embed/{id}, so it isn't something I'm explicitly setting. Now you've got me curious.
OK, checking the online docs at https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#Manual_IFrame_Embeds it appears that it is not in our control as to which player is loaded, the Flash player or the HTML5 player.
<xen:hook name="ad_member_view_below_avatar" />
<xen:if is="{$user.customFields.profile_youtube}">
<div style="margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: -5px;">
<iframe width="246" height="172" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$user.customFields.profile_youtube}?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</xen:if>Thanks for checking & including the screen shots!
Yes I was logged into Google and now after clicking the link I get it in HTML5.
Same as you, a custom user profile field (which partially prompted my other thread about not being able to associate custom user fields with add-ons), but instead of modifying the template directly (which is what the very first revision was doing) or using a template hook (which is what I switched to to avoid the template change) I'm using a Template Modification now with some tweaks.
<xen:include template="ad_member_view_below_avatar" /><xen:include template="ad_member_view_below_avatar" />
<xen:if is="{$user.customFields.YouTube}">
<div id="profileYouTube"><iframe name="frameProfileYouTube" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$user.customFields.YouTube}?wmode=opaque&autoplay=1&origin=http://awalkerbit.me&rel=0&modestbranding=1" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" seamless allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</xen:if>#profileYouTube {
width: 100% !important;
height: 156px !important;
}In my case I try to make any & all of my changes as generic as possible & associated to an add-on because then I can quickly reuse it on multiple forums instead of redoing the work. Plus, with upgrades in mind, my two main sites are running essentially edit-free templates outside of extra.css & add-on templates so, for example, when 1.3 is released I'll be up & running with it in a matter of minutes.
I don't think it will because it was the same iframe embed link I was already using. Apparently if you don't specify your preference with YouTube then they decide which player to serve per request.Hopefully Brogan's code will help give HTML5 without having to do this.
Interesting. How does it work with BBCode Media sites then? All of the YouTube videos are always displayed in HTML5 with that.
I don't have an answer for that as they are both using the same iframe embed link.
