Hi Travis,

the new YouTube-feature looks awesome in your showroom.
Unfortunately I didn't find any documentation how to get it up & running.

Here is what I tried:
1. I installed the Dash Player along the documentation including the Dash Player: Embedded Media Field module.
2. Created a 'video' content type with emfield's '3rd Party Video' field.
3. Created some 'video' content that works fine.
4. Created a view called 'videos' -> Filters: Node Typ: 'video'; Fields: Node Title. The view-preview works fine - I see the titles.
I also experimented with adding the 3rd Party Video emfield. Also this works fine.
5. Created a page with this code:

   $params['width'] = 652;
   $params['height'] = 432;
   $params['playlist'] = 'videos';
   print dashplayer_get_player($params);

I see the Dash Player that tries to load the playlist but what never happens.

Visiting http://mysite/services/amfphp I see: "amfphp and this gateway are installed correctly."
Also, at the bottom the result of 'dashplayer.getView'.

Do you have an idea what's wrong?

I documentation/tutorial/screencast for setting up YouTube playlists would be great.

Thanks a lot for your great work! :-)

Regards
Stefan

My problem is still existent. I would really appreciate if somebody could help me.

Please let me know if you need more information.

Best regards,

Stefan,

It is in the queue for me to get some documentation to get the YouTube up and running, but I am currently in the mix and unable to free myself at the time. I will try to get to it as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience.

Travis.

Ok, can you tell me when I roughly can anticipate with this documentation?
Otherwise if it is not too much work for you I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at my posted problem. Maybe there is just one point I was missing.

Thanks a lot for you time!

Stefan

Travis,

I know you have a huge load of work... nevertheless since 1 month has elapsed since my support request I wanted to ask if you have 5 minutes to look over my problem.

Generally: To save a lot of time maybe it would be better for you to create a 5 - 10 minutes long screencast than writing down multiple pages of documentation. Then people could see step-by-step what you're doing and would have less questions. You could upload this screencasts on blip.tv for HD resolution and would save traffic/server performance.

Best regards,
Stefan

Stefan,

I am going to try and record a screen cast this weekend. Things have been crazy lately. I apologize for the delay.

Thanks,

Travis.

Hey Travis,

That sounds really great. I'm looking forward to your screencast and hope that you will benefit from this solution in a long term.

Thank you very much for your brilliant work! :)

Hello everyone.... Here is a rough draft of the PDF that Alethia Inc is putting together for me. It seems to be pretty complete, but describes what you need to get YouTube working. Once all the kinks have been worked out, I will publish this on the website.

Thanks,

Travis.

Thanks for the walk through, very helpful. I'm running into a problem though when I put the URL for the playlist from youtube, drupal tells me "You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code." The url is:http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=8D5268D24EBB87E9. Any ideas?

Hi Travis,

Thank you for you work. This is a nice "how-to" set up emfields and videos but the most important part (for me) of how to get this ready emfields/videos working (as playlists) in the dashplayer is not discussed/shown. Which fields should be used in Views or what important adjustments should be done to get this videos running in the dashplayer?

Maybe my requirements were not clear: The whole process till pushing the "play" button in the dashplayer with the working emfield/video and playlists would be awesome. I know this is a whole bunch of work so my tip was to create an about 10 minutes long screencast like on Mustardseed Media (http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast) - it don't have to be monster professional... we just wanna see how to get things up and running. :) This would be for us users the best way to see the whole process step-by-step on the screen what would lead us to make less mistakes -> what means for you less support questions and to have more time for development in a long term.

Again thank you for you work! You did a great job! :)

Stefan

design.er’s picture

Yeah... this is exactly what I needed. You did REALLY a GREAT job! :)
Now I know what I did wrong all the time and everything works absolutely great now.

Really, thank you so much for you work with the screencasts! I think it will be very useful for many people.

I think the best way to promote the videos is to put the link to the screencasts right on the project page here on Drupal.org (where the YouTube support is announced).
