Hello everyone,

I wanna start out by saying I have searched about 5 hours on the web and found nothing, hence I post here and hope someone could help me!

Im working on a website.. on this website I want a sub-page with video's of me doing daily vlogs.
This means I need to add my video every single day on youtube AND my website. While I think it's
(or should be) possible to let something like an MP4 rss do the job.

I tryed the youtube API, but Im not that experienced to enhance it till it does what I want haha

This is basically what I need:
- have a youtube video player on top of the screen
- below that, I need about 4/5 x 5 thumbnails of earlier videos
- those thumbnails ranking from newest (left-up) to oldest (right-low)
- Automatically update the video in the youtube video player ones its up on youtube
- Ones a new vid is up, the vid of the day before should be added to the list below (causing the oldest to dissapear)

I hope you can help me (at least for a part) that would be great!
Thanks in advance!

there's an option under the video on youtube called <embed>

the html code is this:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3d2vAx_8HHg&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3d2vAx_8HHg&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

if you mess around with the options in the "embed" drop down on youtube you can color it or w/e. After that I suppose you could give it IDs and style it and position it from there.

Hope it helps

hey McGee,

thanks for replying my post!

The embed code just places the video on your website, and thats it.

What I mean is close to a rss feed (only not for text, but for video's)
f.e. twitter rss feed will send the newest twits to your website (automatically updated)
as soon as that person posts a twitter msg.

The same thing I need for youtube. As soon as the person, lets say the shaytards, post a new vid on their channel, I want the player on my website to update automatically and show that newest vid of them. This way I dont have to edit the code every day to show the newest video.

Any reply is apreciated!

Best regards,
Ferdi
