Prevent YouTube Widget or Snippet take you out of my site (To YouTube Site)

I'm wondering if is there a way to prevent YouTube widget from taking me to the YouTube site in a new window when I click the clip the second time.
Also is there a way to autoplay a YouTube clip on my site?
Thanks for your help,

You can use the latest free player from JW LongTail Video to reference the file uploaded to YouTube, get the embed code and paste it into an HTML Snippet.
This player gives you a choice of 5 skins and the option to autostart. It also has the advantage of working on the iPhone and iPad......

Note that you can also reference a file that is on your server or a local one on your Mac.

Downloading App takes you out of App Store

Is this a design feature? I would prefer if it let you stay in the App Store and continue downloading like in Itunes. Its a pain to have to keep scrolling back over to the App Store icon, clicking the icon, downloading an App, takes you out of App Store, over a couple screens where it starts downloading/installing....and it continues....would be better if it just let you download the app and stay in the App Store.

Apparently the way it was designed it must exit the app store to download an app. I don't know why it was designed that way and Apple isn't going to tell us. There might be a good technical reason.

YouTube Widget and HD

Questions on YouTube widget
1) The HD button in YouTube does not show up in widget until after it has been played once, then it shows you (even if movie is stopped). Logically, the HD button should show up before the viewer 1st clicks to play. Is there a way to make the HD button always show up in widget?
2) the HD button does not show up if widget is sized smaller than some width (say around 325px). This means the widget has to be pretty large, or the HD will never show (before, after or during playback). Is there a way around this?
3) if you click once on the widget, the youtube plays. If you click twice (by accident?) it takes you to youtube website to play. Is there anyway to disable this double click that takes you out of your web sit to youtube?
Thanks

Robin ~ Glad that worked out — can you provide the URL(s) to your newly embedded HD videos?
By the way, I noticed you've started an iWeb blog with one entry. Before you add more, you may want to consider using a dedicated blogging platform instead — problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries, or all comments, or unable to publish, or unable to open iWeb, etc.
For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:
To blog or not to blog
As an alternative to setting up a basic hyperlink to your external blog, you can link to it from iWeb's navigation bar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

If you take it out of the shop ..you are on your own buddy

sorry if this is posted in the wrong place..?
I am about to buy my first ever Apple Mac ( iMac ) when the current freezing / screen problems have been resolved
as a total newbie to the world of Mac's , I would like to walk into the Apple Store, and buy the machine
at the same time get the shop to set up the machine I am buying so it can be checked out .
The reason I am concerned about checking the new iMac out in the store is that
its a well known fact that '' customer services '' is not regarded highly here in Thailand
and I see many instances where the customer has been totally let down by so called
warranties and guarantees , from the smallest retailer to major Thai based International
companies . There’s numerous forums here in Thailand that show the vast number of
complaints , some related to Apple Suppliers, the norm here in Thailand seems to be if you take it
out of the shop , you are on your own buddy. I am not saying all Thai Apple suppliers are
Letting down their customers, but the complaints show many are.
So my main concern is that knowing when I do buy my new iMac , once I leave the
apple Store , and may be have a problem , the chances of the apple Store being willing to offer what’s only
considered by others as a normal response of yes sir just bring it in so we can look and help put any
problems right , may well be missing here in Thailand . One problem here is that when you are
purchasing any thing from a computer to a car the Thai way of selling has only one route .. Just tell the customer
what he wants to hear and forget about the actual facts, So when I ask the Apple sales person .. any problems I can
bring it back ... ? Yes Sir you can , but the reality is more like .. ive got a problem with my new iMac.. can you
help ..? Not sure sir I have to see my boss leave it here and I will call you, this is normally followed by a long
Period of silence...
I was in the Apple shop yesterday ( the sales assistant did not really seem know too much about the Products) as when I asked how much an Apple Modem was , his reply was we don't sell them as all Macs come with an internal modem ..?, but they did have the new iMac on display , 20 & 24 inch , and If I wanted he would get one from the stock room and set it up in the show room so I could see / inspect / try it out. so as you can see it will be very important to me to set up the new machine to inspect / try it out as much as possible , before taking it home..
So here’s my newbie question... As I really want to try out the iMac in the store before I take it home what things would I need to look for / try out
( may be relating to the current iMac problems ) and any general Mac related things to try / check out ..? as a total Mac newbie a simple step by step
idea would be most appreciated , along with any comments or advice you can offer this Newbie .
Thanks

\- Check for freeze-ups -- I'll defer to others for advice on how.
\- Check for pixel defects -- examine the screen carefully with both solid white and solid black backgrounds. An in-store, pre-purchase inspection is your ONLY protection against getting stuck with bad pixels.
\- Check for acceptable color and brightness uniformity. Examine the overall appearance of the screen with solid white, gray, and aqua-blue backgrounds.
\* Many (most? all?) 20" iMacs have top-to-bottom color and brightness gradients with "washed-out" colors near the bottom edge of the screen.
\* Many (most? all?) 24" ALU iMacs have left-to right brightness gradients and/or a yellow tint in the center/right of the screen.
Here are some photos that should help you recognize brightness/color gradients:

Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
* [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
# The ''Content-Type'' response header.
# The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

Do any one knows how to add those arrows from the right and left side of the screen in the youtube widget which allows you to navigate back and forth between video clips?

HT2491 So . . . how the h*ll do you TAKE THINGS OUT OF THE DOCK?

So . . . how the h*ll do you TAKE THINGS OUT OF THE DOCK?

Don't know how this could have happened spontaneously, but it may be the Dock has become locked.
Open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste to unlock the Dock.
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false;killall Dock
Then hit return.
It might be you'll first have to lock it in order to unlock it. So if the above doesn't work, substitute "true" for "false," then run the original command above with "false" once again.

YouTube Music Videos - Blank - Loading - Errors out until you refresh

I've been having issues with music videos on YouTube with the latest version of Firefox. I would go to YouTube then browse the music and then select a video and it would play through the advertisement then video would be blank while trying to load then error. However if I refresh the page it works. This is quite annoying. Any other video plays without receiving this issue/error. It only seems to be Music Videos from what I have seen so far.
If I switch to any other browser this issue doesn't occur.
I have also asked my friend if his does the same thing and he also Firefox and what do you know same thing, different ISP, also only has this issue with the browser Firefox.
I hope the Firefox team could find the issue and release a fix with their next update.
Thanks.

YouTube Widget not working

I have embedded teh YouTube widget in my web page created with iWeb, and verified teh URL is correct, but the widget still says teh URL is invalid. I can copy and paste the URL directly in my browser and it works fine. Is there a setting somewhere that might be blocking the URL from within the YouTube widget?

You may want to take your question to the iWeb forum - iWeb is no longer supported by Apple but there are still some iWeb users out there and that's the forum where the experts hang out.
Good luck,

YouTube Widget on FIOSTV unusable

Maybe there's something I'm missing but Youtube on FIOS TV seems to be unusable by design, at least if you have a slowish PC or in-house network is slowish (e.g. wireless).
I get to the Youtube widget on my FIOS TV, get the lists of videos from YouTube, choose one and select. However, it is unviewable because it stops and starts.. (The feed is too slow for real-time video via my wireless network and laptop I assume and there is no buffer.)
OK. No problem I think, this often happens on PCs too - Just pause the video, wait for the feed to download some more of the video, then play and it will be able to keep up..
Well, nope - As soon as you pause, the widget stops downloading so it never gets a buffer loaded!
OK, Well surely you can just restart the video (under "options") and, since many seconds are already loaded, you have a buffer and it will work right? Nope! The "Restart" option thows away what you have and starts reloading from the beginning again while trying still to play in real time!
OK, Well then exit to list and re-enter. Maybe it will keep the buffer then? - Nope! Reloads from the start forgetting everything it loaded previously...
Well - My conclusion is "YouTube Widget on FIOSTV is unusable"
What did I miss??
(or do I need to use a fast desktop and wire it direct with cat5 cable to the router which would be a real pain!)
Thanks for any help..

I have media manager running on a wireless computer and I am able to see video and audio with out any skips or drop outs. Of course the video plays in a small window and you have to click another button to get it to go full screen. The programming is a kludge. Playing one video after another causes the screen to flicker a few times and drop out a few times.
Verizon should only put this out a beta software. That way if it works for you.... great and if not OH well it is beta... People expect this to work. I have a blue ray player that will play YouTube videos and transition between vids with none of these problems. Verizon needs to down to the local high school and get some real programmers that understand what people really want.

Aspect ratio on YouTube widget

Am I correct in understanding that a movie that you post using the YouTube widget has an aspect ratio that is permanently constrained to 4X3? Is there any way to modify the dimensions so they better match an HD letterbox format (16x9)?

These are YouTube's recommendations.....
■ Video Format: H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 preferred
■ Aspect Ratio: Native aspect ratio without letter-boxing (examples: 4:3, 16:9)
■ Resolution: 640x360 (16:9) or 480x360 (4:3) recommended
■ Audio Format: MP3 or AAC preferred
■ Frames per second: 30
■ Maximum length: 10 minutes (we recommend 2-3 minutes)
■ Maximum file size: 1 GB
If you can't get it work correctly using the YouTube Widget, go to YouTube, copy the code and then paste it into an HTML Snippet on your iWeb page.

Youtube Widget 16:9 aspect available?

I search through the program and couldn't find a way to change the frame to 16:9 aspect...
I can add my videos, but that ugly 4:3 takes up a lot of unused space...
Am I missing something, or is this an enhancement request?

You can change YouTube widget to 16:9 by change its default setting. If you are comfortable with Terminal.app and/or Unix command then try the following:
1) quit iweb
2) launch Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities/ folder
3) copy the following and paste in Terminal window then hit return key:
/usr/bin/defaults write '/Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Widgets/YouTube.iwdgt/Info' DefaultWidgetWidth -int 570
note: you will need to log in as admin to make this change.
Alternately, you can use Unix defaults write command to turn off AspectRatioLocked setting, then you won't be locked in 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios.

YouTube widget making text shift

I have a very simple page with a text box that has words and links and I often like to add a youtube video above one of the links. When I do this, the text shifts up in the browser when it loads despite it looking fine in iWeb. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? If I rarely had to do this, I would adjust accordingly and move on, but I do this quite often and it takes a lot of unnecessary time to keep moving the widget and uploading multiple times until it looks right in the major browsers.
Chrome & Safari seem to shift the text an equal amount. Firefox is slightly different.
Is there a way to put the youtube widget inside the text box instead of on top of it?
Message was edited by: mnbinth

You can turn the text box into an image by adding a drop shadow with 5% opacity. That shouldn't shift with the widget. But the text won't be available to search engines.

YouTube Widget

I have just been updated with the latest version of Muse CC and can confirm that the YouTube widget does not work but the Vimeo widget does. With the YouTube widget you simply get the logo and no controls and it will not connect to the video when you change the ID for for the targeted video

It will also load and play the video when used via Preview Page in Browser or Preview Site in Browser. The logo appears only in Design view and the built-in Muse Preview.
Google changed their video player in a way that's exposed a crashing bug within Muse (or more accurately, Adobe AIR). Unfortunately the right fix involves a major architectural change in how Muse generates the proxy image displayed in Design view and in how Muse provides the built-in Preview. To provide a quicker "fix" for the crash, we've made this change to the widget.
You should see the YouTube widget fully operational again in the next major update to Muse, which is due out later this quarter (Q2).

Prevent YouTube Widget or Snippet take you out of my site (To YouTube Site)
