That begs the next question. Should we include the currently unavailable feature rel=0 (hide related videos - good at my institution as youtube videos about nurses often brings up some questionable material)? Should I then also incorporate autoplay as on occasion it can be useful...

What do you think about size? I can use the video size where the 2 plain URLs (www.youtube.com<http://www.youtube.com> and youtu.be) are used but with iframe you already have a size. Should this option override the iframe one or vice versa? Either is doable...

To get the "Hide related videos" or "Show related video" option in though will require one of you to add it to the flash model. Any point?

Yes, I think that's the case, they are legacy settings from the old embedded way, so just ignore them,

Hi,

I've now committed this and it's working with all 3 linking/embedding methods. The problem I've run into is that I've added these 3 options:


*         autoplay="true"

*         toggle="true" // This is toggle fullscreen

*         videoSize="600x400"

but they don't seem to do anything in the Flash engine. I assume that these might have been relevant if the flv file was played directly within the Flash engine but now that it opens a popup is it no longer relevant?

I think that I can code in the 3 options to XENITH but don't want to if they should be removed from XOT since they are now redundant?

What do people think??
