Wordpress YouTube playlist plugin

Thursday, October 8th, 2009 in Mootools, PHP, Wordpress | 47 comments

Wordpress YouTube playlist plugin WP MyTube is the plugin implementation for YouTube MooTools player embed with attached playlist. Simply put, this plugin will allow you to easily insert YouTube videos into your blog posts based on username or video id only. The attached playlist will display the user videos giving you the possibility to add several videos and only one player in your blog posts. This is very useful, for example, if you are a publisher that wants to display his youtube videos into a blog post.

Videos are added to your posts when you either add them or on edit. No special other settings for it except the stylesheet if you want to change the looks. To add videos to you blog posts, when you add/edit a post you’ll notice a new “add media” icon in shape of a tv. Simply click it, fill in the necessary information and the plugin will add the custom code to your pages. Hit save and that’s it.

If you want to add more than one player into a single post, well, you can do that. The plugin allows any number of players to be displayed in a single post without problems.

Further more, you can style the player to have a default look and if you want a second player to have a different look, you can add custom CSS class to it by passing the class name when you insert a new player. (more…)

YouTube player embed with attached playlist

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 in Mootools | 129 comments

YouTube player with MooTools MyTube is a MooTools 1.2 plugin developed using the available player API and data API from YouTube. Basically, if you’re an YouTube publisher or simply someone who wants to display some videos pulled from YouTube on his website, this is for you.

For example, if you want to display some related (or not) videos into a post in your blog, instead of displaying 3-4 players for each video, you can have only one player and attached to it into a playlist, all 4 videos so your users can choose what to play.

The script is completely unobtrusive giving the possibility to display multiple playlists with attached video players retrieved from YouTube based on either an user name to pull videos from or simply by using the video ID you can get from any YouTube video link. All embedding and displaying is done by the script, no special knowledge needed except some CSS. (more…)
