[Plugin] Embed YouTube Videos

[Tony K]

Ok another plug in I made today that allow to embed a YouTube Video in TiddlyWikky by simply copy/paste the YouTube URL

Grab it on https://github.com/akhater/TiddlyWiki-EmbedYouTube

# Features:

* Create tiddler that embed a YouTube Video by copy / paste of a URL

* Retrieves Video Title and use it at Tiddler Title 

* Requires a Google / YouTube API key (get your API key for free)

hope it helps someone

Thanks for your contribution. The community thrive on contributions and a diversity of solutions.

Remember that tiddlywiki is a nice unique string for searching and covid19 and Anne has brought a lot of new users there is a lot already out there.

Thanks again

You may be interested in RichLinks which also features embedding of youtube vids, among other things.

My Plugin is so amateurish lol

Hello Tony

Thank you for chiming in and your kind feedback 

Cheers

Again Mat thanks for sharing,

although RichLinks is impressively good and gives me a lot of ideas, at the moment my plug-in is "smarter"

1. Works by Copy/Paste, no need to create a tiddler myself
2. recognize all youtube domains youtube.com youtu.be
3. supports links with time stamps

1. Retrieves Video Title and use it at Tiddler Title 

   * Requires a Google / YouTube API key (get your API key for free)

thank you

Sounds great! I want to try it out but I'm not sure how to do that from https://github.com/akhater/TiddlyWiki-EmbedYouTube

I.e how do I install it?

Thanks!

<:-)

[Tony K]

please download https://github.com/akhater/TiddlyWiki-EmbedYouTube/blob/master/%24__ak_plugins_EmbedYouTube.json and drag/drop it in your TiddlyWiki

I totally suck at Github: How do I download there? I guess I could manually copy the text and paste it into a file that I manually name with a json suffix but surely that's not what I'm supposed to do, right... :-/

Thank you!

no issues Mat

here it is

Hello and thanks a lot for your plugin.

I can't make it work : I installed it by importing the json, I see the "Add YouTube Video" tab on the panel, but trying to import a YouTube URL gives an internal JavaScript error : Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'items' of null.
What is it supposed to do ? Create a new tiddler ?

(I cannot make your Easy Bookmark plugin work either, it does not give an error but just does nothing...)

[Tony K]

Hello Martin

Did you input your Google Api key?

[Martin Piron]

Well there was one by default, so no. I will try it.

[Tony K]

if it doesn't work please report and I will look into it

N.B. you should refresh to see the newly created tiddler I didn't solve part yet :(

Ok, now I’ve got no error but just like the bookmark plugin, it just does nothing...

[Tony K]

can you please try to refresh and see if it changes ?

[Martin Piron]

Well, sorry but no Tiddler is created, even if I save then refresh :-/

It’s late here and I have to sleep, but tomorrow I can try things if you can indicate some... 

(Even on a fresh empty.html from TiddlyWiki.com I could not make it work)

[Tony K]

can  you please run inspect / console and see the output if you have any error ? 

can you share the link you are trying to bookmark ?

[Martin Piron]

Well I'm sorry, it did work in fact !

I had to go in "More" then "Orphans" to see the created tiddler though, it did not show in "Recent" where I was expecting it to.

And as there are a lot of Orphans already, I did not see it among the others. It was when I re-tried on Empty.html that I saw my error...

Sorry then !

I think it could help to either tag with "video" the newly created video tiddler or if you can find a way to make it appear in Recent...

Thanks for your support !

My Pleasure Martin

Thank you for trying it.

I will update it soon sorry for the mess
