YouTube video in IPython notebook

[Ivica Nakić]

Hi,

when using IPython Notebook in SMC,

this doesn't work:

from IPython.display import YouTubeVideo
YouTubeVideo('YyEReiAYGlU')

There is empty space beneath the cell, no errors.

But this does work as expected:

from IPython.display import HTML
HTML('<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YyEReiAYGlU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>')

The browser is Chrome 32 on OS X 10.9.

The generated code by IPython is

<iframe width="400" height="300&quot;" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YyEReiAYGlU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

... hence it cannot work. Maybe, somebody should post that as an upstream ticket (easy to fix) or search if there already exists one?

The code works in the local IPython notebook on my computer, and the versions on my computer and SMC are the same (1.1.0). So I don't see how that can be an upstream bug. 

The same thing happens on SMC also for IPython notebook which is run from the terminal.

I'm cross-posting this to ipython-dev. It's about user doing

from IPython.display import YouTubeVideo
YouTubeVideo('YyEReiAYGlU')

and it not working when using IPython in SageMathCloud
(https://cloud.sagemath.com), which is a hosted IPython service.
See below -- the problem is that the iframe grabs the http youtube
site instead of https...

I think Harald didn't explain himself very clearly. IPython outputs

<iframe width="400" height="300;"

src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YyEReiAYGlU" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

and indeed this can't work in SMC, because SMC is served securely over
SSL. Instead, what IPython needs to do is output

<iframe width="400" height="300;"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YyEReiAYGlU" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

In fact, I just tried changing the http to https using the Chrome
debugger, and the video then works fine.
The IPython source code has http (instead of https) hard coded, unfortunately.

OK, I see. 

I missed http(s) part, thought the problem is in height="300&quot;"

but that was just copy-paste thing.

Thanks for the help.

Err sorry, I thought it is obvious. what it should do is what the OP
posted in the first email!

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-cloud/NotysYVKjrw/CXoQiDk-B1oJ

i.e.
src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YyEReiAYGlU"

double "//" in the beginning!
