Re: arc_youtube
Great plug in – been using it for a while – however… on the 4.2.0 site that I’m building I’m getting:
Tag error: <txp:arc_youtube video=“HsG2rJvDKjM” /> -> Notice: Undefined variable: p on line 70

Sorry for being incredibly slow at responding. I believe that the latest version of the plugin (v0.2.1) should eliminate this error. Let me know if it still isn’t working and I will investigate further (and hopefully a bit quicker). Download the latest version of the plugin over on my website.

Ah, fantastic! That seems to have done the trick!

Re: arc_youtube
After reading about wet’s Tube Fittings site yesterday I’ve added an aspect ratio to arc_youtube. From version 0.3 you now just need to specify a width or height and an aspect ratio, or you can specify a width and height as before, to size the embedded video.
I’ve also thrown in a couple of extra options: videos can be shown in HD by default and there’s an enhanced privacy setting (which according to Youtube stops the use of cookies).

Re: arc_youtube
I’ve installed the latest version and it see,s to me that my videos changed ratio with black borders…
Can you send me a link to the previous version of arc_youtube?
Thanks in advance.

Here’s a link to arc_youtube v0.2.1. You shouldn’t need to downgrade though. You can still define a width and height like in the earlier versions – this overrides any aspect ratio. I assume your issue is with black borders in the video rather than around the player?

Re: arc_youtube
Andy, it would be helpful if the topic start contained all the information about the current release of the plugin and a working URL (and perhaps a summary of what was added/fixed in each version). That way, if this thread becomes a few pages long, people don’t have to search the entire thread to find a working download URL ;)
The info link on textpattern.org is broken as well.

Fixed the link(s), thanks for pointing it out.

Re: arc_youtube
Hello
Youtube has added the URL-shortened ver. of the address, and it’s now the default in the “share” field there.
So I have added 3 lines of code to use the new urls:
In the beginning, just after if preg_match... block I’ve added:
elseif (strpos($video, 'youtu.be')) {
$v = substr($video, 16);
}
And now one can paste the url, and voila :)
Yours
Adam

Re: arc_youtube
I’ve added support for the Youtube short URLs as requested. Two new versions of the plugin are out today:
v0.4 – old embed code with bug fixes
v1.0 – Youtube’s new iFrame embed code
Further details can be found on my blog.
This is also my first plugin to auto-enable on install, making installation even easier!
