Work on the next version of WP YouTube Lyte is almost finished. The main new features you can expect in version 0.8.0 are:
- support for playlists
- support for HD video (if size of the embedded player is big enough)
- updated UI elements & player sizes to match new, dark YouTube player style
- removed support for legacy YouTube embed code
Embedding a playlist will be as simple as adding
httpv://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=<playlist_id>.
The result will look like this documentary about Arcade Fire (4 video’s in one playlist):
Watch this playlist on YouTube
Now off to testing this blogpost with an embedded playlist in all browsers I can get my hands on. Your feedback (off course) is always welcome as well! If all goes as planned I’ll push 0.8.0 to the wordpress svn later this week.
Playlists seem to have stopped working for me.
as you can see the playlist does not play on this page – http://www.dubtechnoblog.com/2012/09/18/release-deepchord-sommer-soma-records/
here is the youtube playlist i am embedding – http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHNavWQA2EJQX8aRsuI96m0YHYdRUUkiq
appreciate the work you do on this plugin, its extremely valuable
OK, I’m looking into this. Is this a new playlist? Do old ones still work, or are those broken as well?
I think I’ve found and fixed the issue; can you download http://futtta.be/lyte_update.zip and use wp-youtube-lyte.php and lyte/lyte-min.js in there to replace the files on your server?
uploaded and has fixed the issue, thankyou very much for the fast fix 🙂
Great! If you find no regressions, I’ll push out 1.1.8 somewhere tomorrow!
It is possible to show a list of the tracks in the widget? I search a lot but I do not find any solution?
You could, obviously, add the tracks as widget text, but that cannot be shown automatically Elena.
It is possible to show a preview pic and not the grey start (as the example in this page)? Thanks in advance
Has an old version of the Video data in cache, refreshed and the thumbnail now shows and it should do so automatically Matias 🙂
