Aloha, Thank you always for your quick and precise responses. I really appreciate it. I'm almost finished with construction and can begin content creation.

Can you help me Embed a clean looking YouTube video?

Let's talk YouTube Embed code. I use your embed feature because then the videos show up in my right hand column for RECENT VIDEOS & Random Posts and such when I select Blog Type as video.

However in the right hand column they are sized to 240px by 135px. It automatically displays the video title and the bottom navigation bar and this takes up most of my video screen and hides the THUMB image. It also just looks messy. I know how to get rid of all this in embedding a video normally but then it isn't picked up by EasyBlog and distributed around the site.

I would prefer just a playbutton in the middle of the screen hovering over the thumb.

Can you help me Embed a clean looking YouTube video?

Normally I would use this: <iframe width="240" height="135" src="//http://www.youtube.com/embed/I0-6AZQ6tLk?modestbranding=1&showinfo=0&fs=0"; frameborder="0"></iframe>

Thank you!

YES, THANK YOU, However I made one slight change to your code. I added a controls=0 to the end of the URL to eliminate the controls on the bottom of the videos & removed allowfullscreen. Here is what the bottom of the code looks like now on http://LIVET.tv - <iframe frameborder="0" height="135" src="//http://www.youtube.com/embed/I0-6AZQ6tLk?modestbranding=0&controls=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&fs=1"; width="240"></iframe>

Changed second to last IFRAME grouping

iframe title="YouTube video player" width="' . $width . '" height="' . $height . '" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/' . $code . '?modestbranding=0&showinfo=0&fs=1&controls=1&autohide=1" frameborder="0"></iframe

<iframe frameborder="0" height="135" src="//http://www.youtube.com/embed/I0-6AZQ6tLk?modestbranding=0&controls=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&fs=1"; width="240"></iframe>

Can you make a similar change for embedding videos from Vimeo? I would like to embed a video from Vimeo without the title or profile picture.

Hello,

Can you provide us with the embed code that Vimeo provides you to embed video without the title and profile picture?

This is the vimeo code given for no portrait or title or byline:
<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/46567013?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

Sorry for late reply to this,
Can you download my attachment file and backup with your original vimeo.php file then replace in
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\classes\videos\vimeo.php and see how it goes? Please advise.
