Hi Ron,

Give that a try now. don't have access to an install at present so haven't
tested it other than in jsFiddle but seems to pick up the ?rel=0 now.

Will make it more robust when I get time.

Hi John

just in case there's a difference here's what's pasted into the editor
window on the 2nd page:

iframe width="560" height="315"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yVD_nSLINms?rel=0" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen></iframe

I removed the < and > just in case html email format tried to embed the
clip.

Cheers

Ron

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:

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

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
