Requirements
Usage

This widget simply renders videos from youtube, megavideo, veoh and vimeo inside your pages.

Requirements ¶

works with Yii 1.1.5 or above.

Usage ¶

just put the extension inside your application extension directory and that's it.
Inside any of your view files just use this code:

$this->widget('ext.Yiitube', array('v' => 'fYa0y4ETFVo'));

You can set up to 3 parameters in this widget:

player: is the player you want to use. Possible values are: youtube, megavideo, vimeo, veoh. Defaults to youtube.
v: is the video code on the player. You can either put just the video code or the whole url. The widget will take care of parsing the entire string looking for the video code.
hd: is a boolean value. This parameter is ignored by every player but youtube. With this value you can decide if you want youtube to display the video in high definition or not. Defaults to false.
size: you can decide the size of your video thanks to this parameter. Size supports 4 different values: small, normal, big, huge. Defaults to normal.

thanks

Thanks, it's a useful extension. I just had problems with the youtube url parser, maybe you can try this one:

preg_match("#(?<=v=)[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?=&)|(?<=v\/)[^&\n]+|(?<=v=)[^&\n]+|(?<=youtu.be/)[^&\n]+#", $this->v, $matches);
return $matches[0];

This will account for

youtube.com/v/{vidid}
youtube.com/vi/{vidid}
youtube.com/?v={vidid}
youtube.com/?vi={vidid}
youtube.com/watch?v={vidid}
youtube.com/watch?vi={vidid}
youtu.be/{vidid}

Tested on v1.1.8

see ya!.

z-index problem

I had a problem with the z-index of a youtube video.
The video stays in front of a fancybox ...

The solution:
Added the param 'wmode=transparent' to the youtube url in the method youtubeVideoURL:

protected function youtubeVideoURL()
	{
		$url = "http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$this->v}?rel=0&wmode=transparent";
		if ($this->hd)
			$url .= '&amp;hd=1';
		return $url;
	}

Please, fix VIMEO rendering

Hello!

Thanks for such useful extension.

Please, take a look at the VIMEO rendering function, it contains a fixed string point to a video. That should be fixed to something like

<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/{$this->v}?byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="{$this->_width[self::VIMEO][$this->size]}" height="{$this->_height[self::VIMEO][$this->size]}" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Thanks and regards!

Good extension to embed youtube, vimeo video

Really helpful to embed video on website. But one issue need to fix and that is downloading extension using Firefox browser. When I downloaded using Crome then extension extracted without showing any error.

Thanks nickcv for your approach.

Specify width and height

Any chance for an update to allow specification of the width and height directly vs. using the sizes?

Thanks
