    The best module used to embed YouTube videos in Drupal websites is Media: YouTube. The biggest difference between this one and our player is the implementation of playlists.

    Some differences with Media: YouTube

      Media: YouTube Weblitz Youtube Player
    Visibility CCK based Block based
    Support playlists no yes
    Show playlists with thumbs, title and duration no yes
    Loop video playlists no yes
    jCarousel scrolling playlist support no yes

    From this module you can set:

    • The autostart of video
    • If the playlist should loop
    • The number of characters of the video title
    • Video dimensions
    • jCarousel support for mobile devices

    We choose jCarousel module to guarantee a good scroll of the playlist video in the playlist <div> even in the mobile devices (instead the "overflow:auto" standard taken from YouTube website).

    A basic css stylesheet has been developed (youtube_player.css in the root directory). From this you can modify dimensions and colors of all the <div> involved; this is for both desktop and mobile version.

    Multiblock module has been implemented to generate different blocks, with different configurations.

    Please read the README.TXT for more informations on module installation.
