Daiko’s YouTube Widget v. 1.0 is ready
September 24th, 2007 by Daiko
After sorting out the remaining issues discussed earlier, Daiko’s YouTube Widget is now finally ready for release.
Go check it out. You see the same version in action to your right. The YouTube show can begin!
I’m not sure if something is wrong but the download link does not seem to be working.
OOps! Thank you Rich. I changed server and the path was wrong.

It is a fantastic plugin, thank you (I just wanted to say that before I started talking about the issue here).
Only real problem is that I couldn’t use the thickbox plugin, which I expected as I already have thickbox installed.
The conflict makes it so that none of the thickbox driven thingies work.
But my main problem is that without the Daiko thickbox plugin installed the other plugin says it has to be present in order to have the video pop up, so for now I am just using the standard player option (though I’ve made it the size of a postage stamp in order for it to fit somewhere).
I will probably end up editing the plugin when I have the time so it works without conflicting, but I just thought you might like to know about this issue.
I also removed the part where it tries to show an image from “http://localhost:8888/wp-content/plugins/DYTW/play.png”. For now I just removed that whole line, but I will eventually go back and just fix it.
Thanks for an otherwise great plugin though. BTW - Have you considered making it rss feed from a youtube account? That would be fantastic.
Thank you Myke for your comments.
To your issues:
One sollution to your ThickBox problem is to take out your current thickbox scripts from your header (or de-activate the other plugin if you use another thickbox plugin). The only thing my ThickBox plugin does is insert the scripts needed to your header. I use the latest version of ThickBox and that should be compatible with older versions. You probably load the scripts twice now. The reason for using mine instead is that I check for the existense of the function in the plugin to see if it is activated.
Thank you for the localhost:8888 reference. that is now fixed and updated. Download the new version (1.0.6) and it will work.
I have considered the rss feed but I’m not there yet.

Thanks for the quick response, and I will probably give 1.0.6 a try here shortly.
