Your Demo Site down? I need youtube shortcodes

My plugin not offers manual adding of youtube parameters unless you change the code yourself you cant do this. Also why you ask me for a list of youtube parameters here? https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters there you get all about parameters.

Thanks for fast response.

Ah ok,

I checked the URL from source code and it’s;

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/MSYcTJ6qaLc?rel=0&autohide=1&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&wmode=transparent&modestbranding=1&autoplay=0

So that means all videos I embed with this shortcode will have:

related videos off
autohide on
HD on
transparent mode on
modestbranding on
autoplay off

Correct?

That’s not bad, the only thing I would add is ‘control bar off’ but I can live without that ??

--I thought you might have way to add them to the shortcode :-) ..no problem.

The only thing that’s bugging me now is that before you click play, the video thumbnail looks really low quality, then goes to HD when you click play, anything I can do about that?

FYI – I’m using one of the 3 thumbnails offered by YouTube.

Thats right (almost) my plugin always adds the videos always this way with this parameters you mentioned. But autoplay is handed in a option and can be turned on for all videos.

I taught of implementing options for manual parameters but I am not sure if or when I will implement this.

If you can live without then all is fine. Also as I said you could hack the source the line is easy to find, that would be overwritten by the next update tough.

My www.remarpro.com site layout just broke…

[ Moderator note: fixed, see above. ]

About the low quality before you click play. Now sure what you mean? If you mean the youtube player loaded with with play button there is nothing I can do about it.

What do you mean with you are using one of the 3 thumbs from youtube? As a custom thumbnail in options? If so you need to put a image with higher resolution in there. Can you give me some like where I can see it?

And about my site, yes it’s down but not expired. Will be back on in 3 days I assume.

Do you have an email address I can send the screenshot to? so I can show you what I mean?

[ Support is offered via the forum and not email ]

@ mysterious moderator: Should it not be up to me if I give him my email or not?

But cookmanp, I mean is your screenshot really that secret? I really want to help you but I was more looking for a live site that I can firebug into. Maybe you can just setup something for testing purposes without the stuff you want to hide?

When screen first loads (poor quality): https://picturepush.com/public/12820076

then click play, watch a little bit, then re-load the page and the quality is fine: https://picturepush.com/public/12820090

first impression is important as that is a main landing page so I want that thumbnail to load in high quality the first time the user visits, could it be youtube deciding the quality based on connection speed?

The site is in ‘maintenance mode’ so I need to give you a login to view the live page, I don’t mind that but I can’t post that publicly, can we send private messages on this forum?

That is Youtube! Nothing I can do about this. Youtube serves low quality thumbnails for bandwidth reasons I guess. The Quality later is the actual video that is HD.

If it’s just a landing page you could just use a manual posted image and link it to the colorbox iframe. Watch the HTML of my plug in or go https://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/example2/ to look how its done.

No need to give me login data now that should be it ??

Thanks, I thought it would be YouTube ??

The second image I uploaded is the same frame, it IS the thumbnail, just showing at higher quality after the video has played once (even after page reload). I guess it’s because there’s already an established connection with YouTube and they know I can handle HD.

Thanks for the link, but I don’t know how to code, have I got to change the code of your plugin?

It’s that actual home page of my website, not just a landing page and I have videos on other pages too (but they are smaller and the low quality is not as obvious). What I meant was these pages with videos will generally be the first page new users land on so they need to be perfect.

No you don’t have to change code of my plugin. You can include a image inside your post/page with the wordpress editor and then link it to a youtube iframe emebed and give it a class that it opens in colorbox.

In fact doing this does not require my plugin, it requires the colorbox plugin what you maybe already have installed when you are using thumbnail mode.
