The VideoLAN Forums

History: I put a YouTube video player on my website ONLY to view the videos that I put in my You-Tube playlist.

The Problem: The You-Tube video player has controls that take the viewer away from the video content that I want them to view. It allows them to spend hours looking at all of the YouTube website content on my website rather than only what I have chosen for them to view.

The Solution: I want to put the VLC Media Player on my website and program it to play only my YouTube video playlist with no extra controls to give the viewer access to the rest of the YouTube content.

The YouTube Code I am now using, that has the MENU control that I don't want, is as follows:
<object width='425' height='366'>
<param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFNdG ... ='></param>
<param name='wmode' value='transparent'></params>
<embed src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFNdG ... 0VoZR79nc=' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='366'></embed>
</object>

My Request: I am not a programer. I use NetObjects Fusion, a "wysiwyg" web developing program, to build my website. For this reason I would like for you, the programer that reads this, to assemble all of the code necessary for me, and others, to copy and paste it into NetObjects Fusion. Then when I publish your code to my website there will be the VLC media player that will link to my video playlist as noted in the HTML code above.

I would really appreciate your help. For any questions you may have, my E-mail address is: tamanddar@att.net

hello

well the problem is that YouTube embeds their control in the flash that points to the movie.

so unless you get the real clean 'movie' uri, you cannot play it separately.

i managed to play some YouTube contents in the vlc plugin but movie 'codes' are hard to find (you have to track the real uri inthe html source) and YouTube dont like their content to be viewed outside their own control so they'll always work to make that quasi impossible or complicated...

vlc 0.9.0 can play youtube content from the youtube url, it uses a lua parser to extract the real movie url from the html

this rox !!

i dont think it will work forever

sure, but lua make it easy to change the script

WTF
VLC is able to play youtube LINKS for 2 y
i was using greasemonkey scripts to use other players instead of flash in youtube
Now they not working WTF
Why no one can change that?
Hey Pilotit try just vlc embeeding code and put youtube link in it. if it works then make greasemonkey script. I want to see it done
Couse no script is working for me not on Linux and not on Windows. VLC and VLC mozilla plugin installed
