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.

Version 1.0.1

Two new parameters have been added both to plugin and module to show a video in HD (if available) and to serve a video from the special URL with delayed cookies (www.youtube-nocookie.com).

A great enhancement! Very easy to use and can even be customized.
I needed a simple solution to include videos in my site without much overhead, and this tool does the job. Thank you.

Took a little time to figure out how to insert the code into my article page. But I figured it out and got two You Tube videos to appear as I wanted. Still working on adjusting the parameters.

I was unable to validate my XHTML on my website due to using the embed code supplied by YouTube (I'm quite surprised the YouTube embed code isn't W3C valid)

This simple to setup, well-documented Plugin solved that problem. Thanks a million.

Better than all the rest!

All other youtube embedding plug-ins and modules have failed the joomla community which have a custom theme.

Internet Explorer does not play nice with youtube.

But Qtube did it right and Qtube plays very nice with joomla and Internet Explorer.

Thank you for developing some that works.

Easy to set up and get going. Will have to take 5 minutes to study how to customize my videos but the instructions are short and sweet.
God bless you for this :)

I rated this one Excellent because that is what is is to me.
One of my clients needed a plugin to integrate several youtube players in one page, each one playing a different video.

I found Qtube as the perfect solutiun and had this up and running within 5 minutes!

There was no need for support or visiting the documentation pages also.

Good job!

I am a newbie to Joomla and CSS. I had tried several other YouTube! insertion methods. This was the simplest and the module works instantly with ease. One thing that I would like to see is better positioning such as; left, right, center or nudge options. I have a little HTML knowledge and used the 'center' option in the before and after text blocks in the 'teaser' section of the Inspirion template. Works great!! Thanks.
Thank you for a painfully straightforward, easy to use module. Simple and elegant, I had it installed and the video in place in under 5 minutes. Five more and it looked exactly the way I wanted it.
I love this plugin, i have been looking for a while and this is just perfect.

This plugin was so easy to setup and use! The only thing will be remember the {qtube} syntax.

It would be great if the plugin could add a new button beneath the content editor to provide an interface to add a video so that users won't need to remember the code syntax.
As a newbie, I waste a lot of time trying to find new extensions that are essential but easy to use.
Thanks to Qtube, I manage to get a youtube video on my site in no time.
It would have been a perfect extension, if it offers the ability to organise more than one video in a hierarchical way (sections, categories, articles).
Many thanks to its developer.

This plugin is really easy to use and has very good options. Yesterday I asked the developer if it would be possible to add two features (delayed cookies & HD support) in future and within few hours a new version of the plugin was released with the desired parameters! Unbelievable! Thank you so much, now the plugin is more than perfect!
