[Xerte-dev] Re: Youtube RSS

Play is what all play request urls go to (or was)
Ignore everything in 
https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/blob/develop/play.php 
before line 181
The first DB query gets the info on the project, include its template 
type
line 205 loads that template type play library 
(https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/blob/develop/modules/xerte/play.php)
Then a load of logic happens based on the project display options (is it 
private, is it password)
eventually either show_template or dont_show_template is called (which 
lives in 
https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/blob/develop/modules/xerte/play.php)
And this code displays things
There is JS you can mangle here
