Embedding YouTube videos on Product pages

Perplexed by the difficulties people seem to face with the issue of embedding videos, I have posted my own long-used solution on GitHub.

Here is a link direct to the readme:

Any problems: post in GitHub.

@torvista

Thanks for the script. I put it into my site correctly and it is working for me.
However do you know how to modify the player to accept a Playlist instead of a single video?

Thanks

As far as I am aware if you navigate from the youtube video owner mainpage and choose playlist to get to the video, the v= link will be of the playlist instead of a single video, so use that.

Thanks for replying .
I dont think I understand where to edit what you mentioned.

I tried to follow the instructions here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters

change
https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID
to
https://www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list=PLAYLIST_ID

By editing your script youtube_tn.js

The line

iframe.setAttribute("src", "//www.youtube.com/embed/"
to
iframe.setAttribute("src", "//www.youtube.com/embed?listType=playlist&list="

But that did not work for me.

Sorry, it was too early in the morning....so after morning chores:

Single video:

<div class="youtube-container">
<p>Cat Video</p>
<div class="youtube-player" data-yt_id="abc123abc123">
</div>
</div>

Video as part of playlist:

<div class="youtube-container">
<p>Cat Videos - Playlist</p>
<div class="youtube-player" data-yt_id="abc123abc123" data-yt_params="list=xyz123xyz123xyz123xyz123xyz123xyz123">
</div>
</div>
