youtube HD embeds

  • Great plugin… I use it often!

    Is there a way to enable 720p or 1080p embeds? I’ve tried appending the url with &vq=hd720, &hd=1, &vq=hd1080… and see that it doesn’t do anything.

    Would it be possible to add this functionality in a future update, if there is no way to enable it now? The default video quality just doesn’t cut it with today’s screen tech.

    Thanks!

  • I would also like this feature please.

    I just tried adding &vq=hd1080 in line 73 and it seems to have done the trick.

    return '<div class="fve-video-wrapper ' . $this->provider_slug . '" style="padding-bottom:' . $padding . ';"><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="100%" height="100%" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/' . $this->meta['id'] . '?wmode=transparent&modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&rel=0&vq=hd1080" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>';

    I just paste the standard youtube url from the browser address bar into the post.

    Trying out plugin for first time, looks terrific. Using the above code modification the change seems to be OK on a desktop browser but my iPad (Safari) seems to ignore it. Would this be the case, if so can you suggest a solution?

    The problem with the following parameters: &vq=hd720, &hd=1, &vq=hd1080 is that they don’t actually provide a better user experience. Also, YouTube disallows them on certain platforms (eg: iPad and Android) because of obvious performance reasons.

    A while ago, YouTube moved this setting into the user account: https://d.pr/i/d20x+. I’ll consider adding an advanced option that allows the tweaking of the querystring parameters, but I can’t promise when I’ll have the time to add it.

    Whether the video is HD or SD should really be up to the user.

    I’d like it even just to stipulate 480 instead of the 360 default.

    HD would be a bonus.
