• I want to be able to add a YouTube video to my playlist. How do I do this?

  In the settings.xml file, replace the video tag with one containing the path to a YouTube video. The video tag should look like this:
  
     <video>
        <ad start="30" path="path_to_your_ad" url="URL_that_will_open_when_user_clicks_on_the_ad"/>
        <videoPath value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIPGZs0UCQc" />   
     </video>

• Some of the YouTube videos in my playlist no longer show up. Not even the preview or the thumb image. What is happening?

  The real owner of the video complained to YouTube about a copyright infringement. There are several outcomes, each of which can render the video player unable to load that specific video:
  
  - YouTube completely removed the video.
  - If the complaining owner is one of the media companies that signed an agreement with YouTube, the video becomes available ONLY in certain countries. If you are not viewing from one of those countries, you will not be able to see the video. In the same way, our Video Player will not be able to load it.
  - YouTube disabled embedding. This means you can watch that specific video ONLY from YouTube. No external player is allowed to play it.
  

• When someone watches the YouTube video on the player, does YouTube count that as a "view"? Does it record it as a view?

  Yes, YouTube counts views even if they are made from external players.

• Can I remove the YouTube Logo when I play one of their videos?

  Removing the logo, changing the title or the video description constitutes a violation of YouTube's copyrights. This holds true even if it is one of your own videos that you uploaded on YouTube.

• Is your player YouTube TOC compliant?

  Yes. Consequently, it uses the YouTube API provided by them for playing YouTube videos.

• I have a fixed player size. Can I stretch videos from YouTube to match my width?

  No. For YouTube videos the player uses a YouTube API that they provide. The resize function is part of this API. YouTube does not let their videos to be stretched.
