Embedded You Tube Videos?

I seem to be having some playback trouble with YouTube videos I’m embedding in my FWP website through Perch. Can somebody check this out and see if they’re having playback speed issues?

Also, how do I get a YouTube video to default to HD quality?

Video fine even on Full Screen (27")

You can force the video to defualt to HD quality by appending this to the end of the URL in the embed code:

&vq=hd720

That will give you 720p quality. Here’s one for 480p:

&vq=large

To get this to work, you will have to insert the video via a markup item, you can’t use the Youtube action.

I have to embed the code in the Perch admin. Here’s the existing code. Where should I put the HD code you indicated?

Anyway to play a YouTube video, but prevent YouTube from displaying videos it thinks you may want to see at the end of the requested video?

Caleb, as of today, September 30th, 2013, your “&vq=hd720” trick to get 720p video no longer works. What I found that works is adding this to the end of my URLs:

&hd=1

Again, that’s only for 720p.

Unfortunately, it seems that the only way to get 1080p though is to use the API, which for most of us means waiting for someone to update the YouTube Freeway Action to give us that functionality.

Best,

James Wages

I stand corrected. You can get 1080p to open if you use a popover:

http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=YOURVID&vq=hd1080

So if the standard URL to your video on YouTube is this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABCDEFG&hd=1

You just substitute ABCDEGF for YOURVID in the above.

Bingo!
