Hello again Tim and everyone. I used the you tube action and it worked great although the related videos are also included and I can’t seem to resolve that issue so I have to go another route and upload the video myself.

Hi Carla,
Personally I would deliver this using the Flash video (.flv) format simply because of the plug-in coverage (as previously mentioned).
You can still use the YouTube action to deliver your video but you just need to tweak the code slightly to stop YouTube from offering related videos. Here’s how;
FW_WriteObject(“http://www.youtube.com/v/Zcc8gE54Md8&autoplay=1”, “425”, “350”, “”, “false”, “flash” , “MovingItem”, “”, “loop”, “true”, “play”, “true”, “quality”, “autohigh”);
8. Add the following code after the end of ‘autoplay=1’;
&rel=0
so (in my example) it reads;
FW_WriteObject(“http://www.youtube.com/v/Zcc8gE54Md8&autoplay=1&rel=0”, “425”, “350”, “”, “false”, “flash” , “MovingItem”, “”, “loop”, “true”, “play”, “true”, “quality”, “autohigh”);
(I’m sending this through using e-mail so shout if the formatting gets messed up in the forum).
This basically tells YouTube to show zero related videos. Maybe this and the autoplay options could be incorporated into a future version of the action?
Regards,
Tim.

this is great as I have the file in flv already in my media folder

Remember, having it in your Media folder means exactly nothing to
your final site. You will need to use one of the upload Actions to
get the flv file into the Resources folder on your server. Putting
the file in the Resources folder on your computer won’t do that
either, because you’re going behind Freeway’s back. Use Upload Stuff
(from Tim’s fine collection of Actions) or there’s a similar action
from Softpress, available on the KnowledgeBase.

Hi Carla,
So this is how I would attack this problem.
Enjoy the video on your site

So after a bit of Googling it seems that you can extend the YouTube
player with some other options;
The one they don’t have here (and I think is pretty cool) is allowing
users to enter full screen mode;
fs=n - Allow the user to toggle the video into fullscreen mode. Either
1 or 0. fs=0 is the same as removing the option.
It would be great to see these options available in the YouTube action.
And, doh, the autoplay feature is already in the action! Not sure how
I missed that.
Regards,
Tim.

Ha! Thanks that was funny
Ok I will follow your above instructions… so what you are saying is that although I am using video uploaded on youtube, I am bypassing them by following your instructions…
Is this correct?
Thx

Success
Thanks… if I would just start from the beiginning I can sometimes figure it out… The action did not auto load in FW so I dropped it in and follwd you instructions
So the you tube video works great now without the intrusion of the other videos.
Thanks much
