#1678318: Media Youtube doesn't have good documentation. I installed it, now what? suggests that the Read me could use some info about how to properly use this module. It is basically the normal Media workflow but I guess reiterating it here wouldn't hurt.

People get confused by this pretty often. A couple lines of instruction would go a long way.

If someone wants to expand and make more readable my list in http://drupal.org/node/1678318#comment-6235138, please do.

It would be nice to fix this in time for the upcoming stable release.

That took a while. Sorry.
Please review the attached file. If this is liked somebody needs to create a patch implementing this.

Do you know if the process is significantly different on D6?

Uh, haven't used D6 in ages. No idea.

Marked these as duplicates (even though they came first):

#1184856: What is the workflow to display a playable video embed?
#695174: How do I use this?

Most of Media: YouTube is generic Media workflow, so people interested in helping should look here first: #1699066: Revise documentation for Media 2.0; remove deprecated information, include overview and walkthrough examples. After Media docs are updated, Media: YouTube and Vimeo should only be a one or two paragraph addition.

Might be worth it linking to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7443578/youtube-iframe-api-how-do-i-c..., as mentioned in #1667660-10: Using Javascript API, in the readme. Maybe a "further reading" links section.

It would probably be good to link to Media documentation there too.

I think the part that is most lacking is how to add inline youtube videos in WYSIWYG/CKEditor modules.

I have enabled the text format filter, and have enabled the media button & plugin in CKEditor but it just outputs a still image no matter what.

Rooby, check file types -> video -> manage file display, and make sure that both the video and preview image formatters are enabled and that video is on top.

The above issue is committed. I think the readme is looking good, but it could always look better -- please re-open with any additions or revisions.
