Name: YouTube Plugin
Author: Danny Ferguson

Description: The YouTube Plugin allows you to search YouTube, select a video from the results and add it to your post. You don't need to have a YouTube account. You don't need to edit the b2evolution html validator. You don't even need to go to YouTube.com. It's all done from inside your b2evolution backoffice.

Update: The new version (0.9.1) now includes support for other video sharing sites. Click "Other sites" in the YouTube toolbar to see buttons for adding clips. You'll have to manually copy and paste the video ids into the tags that the button inserts. The supported sites are: Blip.tv, Current.tv, Daily Motion, Google Video, iFilm, Jumpcut, Revver and vSocial.

The YouTube plugin in action

Fantastic plugin. Found a potential problem though... I use Bloglines to monitor feeds, and content added via this plugin doesn't show up at all. I realise it may be difficult to achieve that, but is a placeholder image possible? BTW I'm using 0.9.5

I use bloglines, too, and I've noticed that. You could add a thumbnail image to the post, but then what about rss readers that do support flash? They'll be getting less than they were before.

Hmm... A fair point. I really like bloglines, but its 'basicness' is sometimes frustraiting. I can't think of a good way of doing this for bloglines without hurting more capable systems. hmm....

LOL ... I thought I'd follow the 'normal route' to see if YouTube worked with 1.9.2, but I see there are no less than FIVE comments, awaiting moderation.

Would be nice to have a list of b2evo versions that are "known to work with" a given plugin. :D

Very useful plugin.

I've added dotSUB video services with minimum effort hacking the code.

Great plugin Danny. I have modified it a little and enhanced it with Slideshare functionality. You can download the two modified files under the URL above.

This plugin is excellent. It allows adjustments, as I did. Look at the above address.

This would be a good plugin for some of my blog posts that would best be understood with video explanations.

The plugin doesn't work anymore!
It happens because it uses old Youtube APIs that are expired on November, 11th.
See http://apiblog.youtube.com/2009/11/final-decommission-notice-for-legacy.html

"Final Decommission Notice for the Legacy YouTube API"

Will you update to the new APIs ? otherwise after the next couple of weeks I could find the way to patch it (now my company is moving, so we are too busy).

The renderer is stil working: I'm posting videos writing directy [youtube]THE_ID[/youtube], after found the IDs from Youtube.

Yikes!

This might be something I'm going to have to fix, because there's no plugin this wonderful out there, and we need it for the Students at University of Colorado.

if you take the code linked above and replace it with the contents of _youtube.plugin.php you will have the functionality again that this plugin was so great for!

It should work out of the box, please let me know if you have any problems.
