Hi Guys,

I need your help with the Webbrowser element.
I made a program that plays youtube-links like a mediaplayer.
So you have serveral URLs that direct you to youtube and plays the video.
Since the last flashplayer update it doesn´t work anymore.
If you try for example to start this link:

C#

webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yh6SriAjdE&feature=g-logo&context=G2dea9c8FOAAAAAAABAA");

The video is loading but there is the play button in the middle.
But it should play the video without needing to be clicked.

Has anybody of you a solution...

Hi,

just add ?autoplay=1 behind your youtube url.

C#

webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.youtube.com/embed/rdKFioMyieQ?autoplay=1");

With Best Regards,
Björn

Hi,
it doesn´t work either.
I´ve created 2 buttons, both of them have different URLs and your &autoplay=1.
If I click on the first button it works but if I click now the second button it doesn´t work anymore. Do I have to close or clear the webelement???

Best regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
oh I've just had a look into the new youtube api and they changed a few tags and parameters because of HTML5-VideoPlayer.

Use this link: webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.youtube.com/embed/rdKFioMyieQ?autoplay=1");

It works quite well in my enviroment. Best Regards

Hi Björn,
sorry for answering only now.
It works but you have to modify the youtube link to your format.
You get a string like that:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykwAirfRulg&feature=g-logo&context=G20b913cFOAAAAAAAXAA
Now I need to filter the 'ykwAirfRulg' and put it into:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/ykwAirfRulg?autoplay=1

Now it works thank you very much!!!
Tom
