Wonder if it's just that querystring or any at all?

Subject: [Xerte-dev] YouTube video page via HTML 5 - issue with related content turned off
Hi all
I noticed an issue recently but didn't have time to test properly until now and I have checked the HTML 5 code yet but thought I'd mention it in case it's already a known issue...

That old joke about on YouTube never being more than a couple of clicks away from a dog on a skateboard or something far more undesirable, especially in a classroom, means that it's often preferable to un-tick the box that shows related content when the video finishes. For instance at the end of the Nottingham Xerte Online Toolkits video the following thumbnails and links show:
[cid:image001.jpg at 01CE084C.CD3607D0]

Nothing too bad there but you get the point.

Anyway what I've noticed is that with HTML 5 playback with the related videos turned off which adds ?rel=0 to the end of the link in the embed code the video doesn't show and gives a message that the video can't be displayed in a frame

[cid:image002.jpg at 01CE084C.CD3607D0]

It plays vine via the Flash player e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_47

So is this just some kind of string manipulation difference in the xerte models or something else? I can have a look but I think you built the html 5 YouTube models John so have you noticed this?

Cheers
Ron
