The YouTube Plone support for RedTurtle Video

Introduction

This is an add-on adapter for RedTurtle Video product for Plone. For additional documentation see the main product’s page.

Add this to your Plone installation for beeing able to use YouTube video link as valid URLs for “Video link” content type.

Valid URL formats

Classic URL is supported:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7OLg1AZvr4&...otherparams

Also the shortened version can be used:

http://youtu.be/f7OLg1AZvr4

Autoplay

You can enabled the YouTube video autoplay in two ways:

• Use the YouTube autoplay=1 parameter in the YouTube video URL you are saving in Plone.

  This is a permanent autoplay: the editor choose to autoplay the video at every visit

• Call the RedTurtle video content with the autoplay=1 parameter.

  This is a user choice autoplay: who links the Plone content choose to auto start it.

In the latter case, some accessibility improvements are added to the page for automatically put the focus onto the video and simplify keyboard controls (this works on Internet Explorer and Firefox, probably other browsers also but there isn’t a common behavior).
