Description

youtube has a new way to embed videos:

http://apiblog.youtube.com/2010/07/new-way-to-embed-youtube-videos.html

It automatically uses html5 if the device can't use flash. But it's not easy to integrate this in the current TYPO3 media element.

This is still an issue in latest TYPO3 CMS (6.2.3). Embedding by using an iframe seems to be the best way.
Here is a slightly different patch, patch also using an iframe.

Of course all these ways are just "hacks" to get it working for the moment. Imho we need to cleanly extend the concept of MediaProviders to fit the new needs - which here is APIs that need iframes and don't allow access to the videos directly anymore.

I agree we need to restructure the Media Providers a lot. Currently you can only modify the path to videos within a provider. IMO a provider should be much more general. Meaning it should be capable of rendering the whole html output and providing also adequate fields in the backend. The html should be fluid based. A provider should be an adapter between the Core and the source API, like YouTube or Vimeo.

Could we maybe agree on some "hack" to get youtube working again with one of the next releases? I doubt that a full restructuring will arrive in the short run - and even then it would need a decision if such a "new" MediaProvider-interface can be introducted in the 6.2.x-branch.

Actions #8

Updated by Markus Klein over 10 years ago

From what I saw, I can tell that after the current media provider parses and rewrites the youtube url it uses the default SWFOJECT rendering of cObj (object-embed HTML code)

I don't have time currently to take a closer look how we could "hack" that now to get an iframe in 6.2.

By the way: Youtube is NOT broken currently, after applying the fix https://review.typo3.org/29952

Oh yes, that patch went in after 6.2.3-release. I just tried it out. Works fine on a machine where you have Flash available. For things like an an ipad that of course fails - in contrast to the iframe-embededing directly from youtube (which detects HTML5-capable players).

Actions #10

Updated by Markus Klein over 10 years ago

Yep of course. iframe player detection is much more intelligent!

Is there some magic to do within the plugin? I patched my 6.2.4 but youtube in media-element remains SWFOBJECT ínstead of IFRAME.

Actions #13

Updated by Stefan Neufeind over 10 years ago

No magic involved. Then please check the source again. What URLs does the mediaprovider return for you, is the mode correctly set to iframe etc.?

My plugin-settings:
Medientyp: Video
HTML5: nein
Breite:
Höhe:
Darstellungstyp: auto
URL: http://youtu.be/anM5lsLPwPE

in MediaContentObject.php I've changed:

$urlRewritten = $mediaWizard->rewriteUrl($conf['file']);
                if( (strpos($urlRewritten, 'www.youtube.com') !== FALSE) || (strpos($urlRewritten, 'youtu.be') !== FALSE) ) {
                    $renderType = 'iframe';
                }

PageContent is:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/anM5lsLPwPE?fs=1" width="600" height="400" id="mmswf53fedb6e1c783" style="visibility: visible;"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="menu" value="false"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></object>

There is no option "IFRAME" inside the plugin.

No ;-) - It's also there.

case 'iframe':
                $url = $urlRewritten;
                $width = $conf['parameter.']['mmWidth'] ?: '100%';
                $height = $conf['parameter.']['mmHeight'] ?: '100%';
                $frameBorderAttribute = ' style="border:0px"';
                // literally taken from EXT:news/Classes/MediaRenderer/Video/Youtube.php
                $content = '<div class="wrapper"><div class="h_iframe"><iframe width="' . $width . '" height="' . $height . '" src="' . htmlspecialchars($url) . '"' . $frameBorderAttribute . '></iframe></div></div>';
                break;

TYPO3 CMS 7 now can handle that in a nice way without flash. therefore I am closing this issue.

The wmode parameter should be added to the urlParams.
If the browser supports flash or it is an older browser that doesn't support html5 videos, youtube still uses flash.

sysext/core/Classes/Resource/Rendering/YouTubeRenderer.php

public function render(FileInterface $file, $width, $height, array $options = null, $usedPathsRelativeToCurrentScript = false) {

 [...]
 $urlParams = array('wmode=transparent', 'autohide=1');
 [...]

The result:

<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/XXXVideoIDXXX?autohide=1&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;controls=2&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=domain.tld&amp;showinfo=0" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" title=""></iframe>
