Editor's Note
  • This extension requires registration to download.
This is a plugin that makes it dead simple to embed YouTube videos into your site. You no longer need to use the {youtube}...{/youtube} tags. All you have to do is copy and paste the URL of a video from YouTube into your articles. The plugin takes care of the rest! What could be more simple?

OSYouTube is fantastic. I needed a simple plugin to display a grid of 4 YT videos. Extremely quick to download/install/config. Placed the url for the 4 videos in the article and bam! 8 videos. Reread the reviews, went back to the article, broke the link so the url was text only and saved. Bingo! No double display.

Perfect plugin. Displays across IE9 on Windows, Safari OSX on Mac, safari iOS6 on iPhone and iPad. Done.

Thanx for a GREAT plugin!

Simple and nice plugin! Does what it says.
Those who have "double entry", i.e. double youtube embedding, make sure you have link as text.
Don't make it like a href="", it should be unlinked, like URL as text, not clickable.

I saw a similar feedback already but no respons. I have an issue with this plugin because iot shows all youtube videos twice. I have to correct the code manually because the links to youtube are duplicated. Is there a fix to be expected for this?

I have to admit that this is one of the easiest plugins I've ever used. Absolutely perfect for a newbie like myself.
Many many Thanks

Easy to user, but I got two YouTube frames for the same video on the same page for only one url mentioned. Is this normal?

Additionally, it had been mentioned by other users before, there is a tailing "> sign next to the YouTube video frame.

A very good plugin, it does what it needs to do. All you do is activate the plugin, set the size of the youtube, and your are good to go.

I like it very much, but I can't use it right now. Because you can't align the plugin as a picture next to the text.

Perhaps this could be added in a feature version?

Hi! Thank you so much for this plugin, i read a review about embeding youtube videos with "trash code" like youtube.com/v=dad&ds=fsdf&feature=.... So i have i client that copies links with no care about this, so i wrote a small fix to your code using regular expressions:

/*the new video regular expresion*/
$reg_video_link_expr = '(http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(&[a-zA-Z]+=[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)*)';

$article->text = preg_replace('|'.$reg_video_link_expr.'|e', '$this->youtubeCodeEmbed("\2")', $article->text);

With this piece of code i answer the comment made by FabZ on May 26, 2010.

That's all and thank you again!

This is just great, even I have one issue using IE7, in all pages Fails, to solve it, I have to use a link with href to include the youtube address, but then appears an "> at the end. How could fix it?

Thank you so much...

The easiest way to show youtube video on J! site.
To be perfect maybe it could clean anything in youtube link after "http://.../watch?v=AbCdEf12345".
At current time it keeps unnecessary "&feature=player_embedded" or "&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2E ... &feature=player_embedded" as text in content, cause of less experienced publishers to manage links...
It's not an issue, but maybe plugin could help to solve it :)
YouTube Embedder never failed to catch a link and show it as video.
Nice work, thanks! ;)

I have delayed posting my site for nearly 18 months because the way it was set up for me, I could not get Youtube Videos to play.
I found this plug in and presto. It's so easy to get video working. I can't believe I didn't look for a better solution such as this one earlier. This has the goods and more!

Hi rubenpv,

There are currently no options for that. This was originally built to just be a simple way to add YouTube videos to a site, and I didn't want to complicate it with too many options. That's a good idea for a future release, though.

Thanks,
Cory

After using hundreds of joomla extensions, this is the only one that ever made me say that!

SO DANG EASY! I kept thinking when I read the "instructions" that there must be more, but no, all you do it put the link in and the video player appears like magic!

thank you Cory!
