the problem is here, height + '" autoplay="true" ' + 'loop="true" ' +

the loop should be set to 'loop="false" ' +

happy streaming !

Forgive me if this is not the right place to report bugs, but I can't see anywhere else to put them.

YouTotem plays the movies very well, much better than the Flash plugin does, but it always does this twice (and only twice). In other words, at the end of the first playback, it always goes straight back to the beginning, but stops after the end of the second playback.

The only other issue I have is that it is nearly always impossible to skip or go back during playback. You always have to play the whole thing through. I imagine that this is a totem problem, rather than a problem with the script, but I thought I'd better mention it anyway.

But apart from that, this is a very nifty script which I have found very useful indeed.

If this script is to be updated again, would it be at all a bother to implement a full screen feature? Using this great, GREAT script for YouTube to watch videos is alright, but considering only the Quicktime player has any menu where you can go anywhere in the video, it has no method of being able to go full screen, which can be rather stressing for some videos.
Can this feature be expected anytime soon, or would I have to ask Apple or so for this sort of feature in their player? (Although it works for the player not used on the internet.)

And yes, I also agree with Sark below. Will this script also be made to work with as many, or any websites that use the standard, annoyingly crash prone flash player by Adobe? Downloading separate scripts for other sites can be annoying, especially if there aren't for some.

Much thanks. This script is great.

I don't know about making scripts. How easy would this be to get it to work with other common video sites like google video, metacafe etc. Or even just those two. I did a quick search for metacafe, and it seems the ones supporting it are downloaders and not embedded players.

Treviño, what benefit does the resolution detection offer? Is it because the video not playing with correct ar if someone is running a non 4:3 resolution?

Good... The auto-size code is really good!

BTW, I was so stupid: thinking to compatibility I posted a code with iexplore checks... LOL :P

Well, I was not thinking that those are just local scripts :P

Thanks for the suggestion. I modified the script to take the browser size in to account.

In the previous code commit there was a typo, btw I've changed the code to adapt the player size not to the screen resolution, but to the browser size (btw it isn't totally proportional yet):

var width = 450;
var height = 358;

if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3) {
	if (navigator.appName=="Netscape") {
		windowWidth = window.innerWidth;
		windiwHeight = window.innerHeight;
	}
	if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1) {
		windowWidth = document.body.offsetWidth;
		windiwHeight = document.body.offsetHeight;
	}
}

if (windowWidth >= 1024 && windowWidth < 1280) {
	width = 556;
	height = 435;
}

if (windowWidth >= 1280 && windowWidth < 1680) {
	width = 885;
	height = 683;
}

if (windowWidth >= 1680) {
	width = 930;
	height = 715;
}

What about adding an automatic resolution checker like:

var width = 885;
var height = 358;

if (screen.width >= 1024 && screen.width < 1280) {
	width = 556;
	height = 435;
}

if (screen.width >= 1280 && screen.width < 1680) {
	width = 885;
	height = 683;
}

if (screen.width >= 1680) {
	width = 930;
	height = 715;
}

It could be better if there's a way to calculate the video width for each resolution (based on the right youtube sidebar width).

Then I've ported many of your cool features (mp4 and other formats playback and resized-player) back to Youtube Alternate Player: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/64223/
