QTube ModulePlugin

QTube is a simple plugin designed to perform a very simple task: embedding YouTube hosted videos in a Joomla! content item. I'm aware that there are plugins that allow you to include videos from many other sources, but when all the videos you need are hosted at YouTube you can take advantage of QTube's small footprint. The plugin supports some parameters to allow you to configure the look and feel of the video container object. Default values for all these parameters can be set from plugin administration area. Let's say you want the same width and height for all the videos on your site; specify these parameters once and for all in the plugin backend and you won't need to include them in any plugin command string.

Finally the pages containing your videos can be valid XHTML Transitional because the HTML code generated by QTube doesn't contain the EMBED tag unlike the code provided at YouTube site (at least the last time I checked).

A QTube module is also available if you need to insert a video in a module position of your template.

Installed and working within 5 minutes. Don't forget to enable the plugin in Extensions->Plugin Manager . It even says in the instructions to remember to do it and I didn't straight away. As soon as it was enabled, works a treat.
Well done!
Got online in few minutes.
I have tested other youtube extension in this list and this one the is simply the best. You can customize each single video appereance and do not need to find a "one fit all solution". The availability of a module is a plus.
Congratulations for a work well done

Installed without any problems. The demo page and documentation is really good. The author of this plugin did a real professional job. Only two things that I would recommend. (1) Place the 3 examples in the qtube.xml file for easy reference along with explanations in the parameter descriptions, and (2) create a module with the same great characteristics.
Thanks!!!!
