Embedding Youtube chromeless player in Flowplayer

Posted: Apr 16, 2009

Hi guys,

I found out that JW Player has a plugin that embeds YouTube's chromeless player for playing Youtube videos. Can we do the same in Flowplayer ? It will be really helpful since it's against Youtube's TOS to play their videos outside their players, and even if we want to it's getting harder and harder to find the FLV url of a Youtube video.

Thanx in advance.

Full documentation on skinning of flowplayer can be found here:http://flowplayer.org/documentation/skinning/

As far as I can see there is no reason why not, if someone wants to take up the task of integrating the skin with flowplayer that is.

With the long list of features to be written for flowplayer I can't see providing a youtube skin being high on the list, depends on the demand I suppose.

What I am asking about has nothing to do with the looks of the player. I am asking if we can use chromeless player from inside Flowplayer to handle youtube videos.

This feature is already implemented in JW PLayer. When trying to load a youtube video JW Player automatically starts playing the file using youtube chromeless player.

I am asking if it's already implemented in Flowplayer, or if someone can give me pointers on how to implement it.

This is not implemented in Flowplayer. It's a bit problematic since the YouTube chromeless player is done with ActionScript 2.0 and therefore hard to integrate with the player.

It can be done via Flash's LocalConnection as a means to communicate with the player and the chromeless player. You would need to implement a custom stream provider that interacts with the chromeless player.

Looking athttp://apiblog.youtube.com/2009/10/actionscript-3-youtube-chromeless.html it seems YouTube supports a AS3 version of their chromeless player?
