Simple YouTube video Jukebox

[ashvoda]

(my [this] post yesterday was deleted for some reason..?..posting again.)

After inserting a YouTube widget I would like to change the currently playing video by
clicking on one of two thumbnail image under the YouTube widget.

Ideally a new video would start playing in the player without the whole player being reloaded
(which causes it to disappear and is q little ugly/distracting).

I'm thinking there is a way to change the youtube url passed to the SwfObject but I do not know how.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ash.

Re: Simple YouTube video Jukebox

Hello ash,

Using 3 YouTube widgets, 2 pictures, and 2 buttons may work.
1 YouTube player can be set to 'autoplay' but remember to turn that property off on the other 2 players.
A button beneath each picture should be configured by adding 3 Events to each:
onclick-Show-Youtube2 (or 3)
onmousemove-Hide-YouTube2 (and 3)
onclick-Pause-Youtube1

Good luck

Thanks.

Btw, my post disappeared because apparently, I was banned until the end of eternity (according to the message I got :)
I didn't even realise I was banned, but I think it was because I had the name 'voda' in my username.
I re-registered and used the current username.

Anyway,

Your suggestion looks like ite could work but I fear it wil result in the disappearing/flashing video area every time you change video. I know it can be done with SWFOBJECT but not sure if it works on all browsers (FF, Chrome,IE).

I'm still hunting for a simple stable solution that works globally..

Hi Vasili,
I'm afraid I do not yet have a website or hosting plan with BlueVoda.
I am currently evaluating with respect to that decision.
I only re-registered to comply with the warning message that I could not use 'voda' in my username (which was done out of innocence).

Nonetheless, if I am banned then I suppose that will cease my evaluation and interest in BV.
