YouTube and Web on a prim question

[Innula Zenovka]

If I put a YouTube video on a prim, is there any way (short of resetting the script, I guess, which I don't really want to do) of returning to the start of the video when it ends, rather than stopping at the page with links to other, similar, videos?

[Dante Tucker]

Sadly no because lsl has no way of knowing what the web page is doing.

Nevertheless , it s possible to loop a youtube video .

 

In fact it s dependant of the site who diffuses the video ( so , youtube for your instance ) .

Sometimes thay have got a parameter to tell in the goal to loop the video . It s the case for youtube .

 

So, for youtube , you may consult the documentation in this page

http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html

 

 

I give you an instance :

let s guess you want to play in loop this video

   (full URL )

or

  (short URL)

To know this URL , you have clicked on the "share button" and checked the "complete or full link" option

 

The general  format to display in loop is :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID?version=3&loop=1&playlist=VIDEO_ID

 

so  for this video , to loop , you need to load this URL :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv20U7rJuwU?version=3&loop=1&playlist=Wv20U7rJuwU

 

Of course , you could have a script who  is reading some URLs and modify them  in the right format with loop option before to display them on your prim

 

 

Enjoy it

there used to be a way to muck with the embedded player code to prevent it from moving to the "related" view after, but I think it's been changed so that only the video uploader can do that now

[Innula Zenovka]

Thanks, Miranda.   I hadn't seen the api page and will most certainly have a play with it.   

Void, I don't quite understand what you mean by "I think it's been changed so that only the video uploader can do that now" -- do you mean there's an option I can set when uploading the video to YouTube (in this case, that would solve the problem)?    

[Void Singer]

if you are the uploader you can set the target for any video that plays after, including targeting itself.

[Innula Zenovka]

I can't find the option to do that anywhere.   Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, or maybe it's been removed?

[Void Singer]

could be, I did a quick check and couldn't find some of the old advanced options.... the reference link posted above will let you do simple queuing, and this page gives you javascript access to that and much more, letting you know when the video is playing or not, and it's queues let you pause in between until interacted with.
