jQuery Youtube Playlist Plugin – Youtube Playlist

For a recent client project, we wanted to be able to turn a list of YouTube links into a playlist. This would allow the client to manage their videos on YouTube and simply insert links to the videos on their site. With javascript enabled a nice playlist is created, whilst without javasript the user gets a regular list of links to youtube pages.

Using the plugin

The plugin acts on a simple unordered list containing links to YouTube videos, e.g.

<div class="yt_holder">
<div id="ytvideo"></div>
<ul class="demo1">
    <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBBWKvY-VDc">Video 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXMQqLnRhRI">Video 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvo-g_JvURI">Video 3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
$(function() {
	$("ul.demo1").ytplaylist();
});
