YouTube script updated

Google has been busy, the old script didn’t allow downloading of the videos anymore, that is fixed now though, plus HD option has been added for both streaming and downloading. You can catch version 1.2.0 over at http://www.ytexp.zeryl.net/index.php.

Please note, if you are upgrading an old version, make sure that you delete all files except config.php first and then upload the new version, skipping install.php and config.php.

    Hey, I love the script, as it allows me to watch videos at work. I’m having some trouble however. When first installed it worked pretty well. It would load all of the images except maybe one or two, and it would play all of the videos. Now, it loads maybe one or two images, and loads no videos. It states, “this video is not available on youtube” instead. I also had to change get.php to yt.php to get anything to happen. Here is a link to my error log http://artlinda.com/zeryl/error_log
    What do you suggest? thanks

    artlinda, sorry that i couldn’t reply earlier, i was a bit busy with college work. Great that you like this script and hopefully you won’t get any more issues. I hope you keep using this script and may consider a donation.

    Thanks for the script. I have two questions.

    Is that alright to leave it without the youtube logo? Is there a way to display it?

    Will I be able to block particular video id from displaying on the page?

    Please let me know.

    Thank you.

    i dont get your question about the YouTube logo, there is a way to display it, it is supported by the player (JW player) which is the logo flashvar, you can add this by find the following code:
    object.addVariable("image", encodeURIComponent("< ?php echo $vid_info['imglink']; ?>"));
    object.addVariable("type", "flv");

    and replacing it with
    object.addVariable("image", encodeURIComponent("< ?php echo $vid_info['imglink']; ?>"));
    object.addVariable("logo", encodeURIComponent("http://path.to/logo.ext"));
    object.addVariable("type", "flv");

    you can block particular video id’s, i will try to include it in the next version!

    Thanks. I tried with my youtube logo. It displayed sat the left top corner. Can I switch the player to Youtube original player instead? I really like your script and wish not to keep the logo but I am afraid to be banned or blocked by Youtube if someone complain or they found it out. I want to put Google adsense too. Any suggestion?

    Any advise would be appreciated.

    unfortunately the original version JW player does not allow changing the location of the logo, however, you can update it and install a skin that changes the logo another place (original skin does not do that). and unfortunately, YouTube’s original player does not work on this as YouTube’s player has been designed for YouTube and not to be used publicly.
    And i don’t think youtube will block you as this is an opensource script and many people use the same method to download videos from youtube, also this uses the official YouTube API. It is highly unlikely YouTube will block your website.
    As for google adsense, again you will need to update the JW player, outside the player you can also put adsense at the top and the bottom of the page by editing the file config.php.

    Documentation on JW Player and the updated version of JW player is available at http://www.longtailvideo.com/.
    Thank you for your interest in the script!
