Pelican YouTube is a Pelican plugin, which allows you to embed YouTube videos in your pages and articles.

Installation

Pip

You can install pelican-youtube from PyPI as usual, e.g.

pip install pelican-youtube

Pelican 4.5+ will detect the newly installed plugin automatically.

See the Pelican documentation on plugins if you use an older version or you want to manually integrate the plugin in your pelicanconf.py.

Local plugins directory

$ mkdir plugins
$ cd plugins
$ git clone https://github.com/kura/pelican_youtube.git

Then enable it in your pelicanconf.py, e.g.

PLUGIN_PATHS = ["plugins/"]
PLUGINS = [
    # ...
    "pelican_youtube",
    # ...
]

Usage

In your article or page, you simply need to add a line to embed your video.

.. youtube:: VIDEO_ID

Which will result in:

<div class="youtube youtube-16x9">
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" allowfullscreen seamless frameBorder="0"></iframe>
</div>

<div class="youtube youtube-4x3">
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4_X6EyqXa2s"></iframe>
</div>

Example 2: (non-responsive design)

.. youtube:: 4_X6EyqXa2s

More Control of YouTube Video Player

YouTube offers more control via player parameters, which you simply attach to the VIDEO_ID as query parameters. See YouTube documentation for a list of possible parameters.

Example: (start video at time 00:20, start playing automatically, don’t show related content at end of video)

.. youtube:: 4_X6EyqXa2s?start=20&amp;autoplay=1&amp;rel=0

Known Issues

The presence of the frameBorder attribute causes an HTML5 validation error. Unfortunately, this attribute is still necessary for supporting older versions of Internet Explorer.
