[Xerte-dev] Re: HTML5 Youtube.html model

[Ron Mitchell]

Playing catch-up after being out all day so just a few quick comments for
now...

 

1. I think I originally added the auto play optional property and it can be
useful especially when using XOT as a presentation tool or for audiences
where minimal instructions/intervention is beneficial so if it can be
included I think that would be useful. It's tru it only worked with the
previous embedded youtube player so hasn't worked since the newer pop-up
method. BTW I'm pleased to see the html5 version not requiring a pop-up and
wonder if the feed page could do the same?

 

2. I think if iFrame code is used it should override so that the size can be
customised by tweaking the iframe code.

 

3. The mailing list was playing up for me yesterday too. In fact a message I
posted about .htaccess still doesn't seem to have come through - at least
not a copy by email back to me.

 

HTH

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 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??

 

Regards,
