I've been trying to have a video channel on my site.It's a pity JPlayer can't handle youtube videos and I don't host/store any videos locally.
I found this script interesting.YouTube Video Gallery Scheduling – All you need to play YouTube videos and schedule them to go live at a later date on your website!
I think the Jamroom guys can incorporate this feature into jamroom5 .The new module will sell like hot cakes.
See link below.

This is a violation of YouTube's TOS, so of course we don't support it.

Agreed...In fact you have mentioned to me before about adherence to YouTube's TOS as regards JPlayer(No hacks etc.)

But the "YouTube Video Gallery Scheduling" script ,IMO, is not very different from whats there in JR5.Apart from the scheduling feature,it uses normal YT embed code.I had a feel of the demo and the admin panel is similar to the "embed local media" dialog box in JR5.

It's these similarities which made share the info with you guys.I wish I could develop a JR module but that's beyond me.

I actually use the youtube live streaming right now without any need for a module and its all 100% FREE
Here is the basics of setting it up
Open YT account- add "live streaming beta" in left column..instead of "scheduling an event" go to LIVE STREAMING BETA and get the player embed code and put it on the page you want the player on...using JR you can even just copy the url of the player page from youtube and add it as a "video" in Jamroom...then its always in your selection list for "embed a video" in site builder..
Next step is to download a 100% free iphone app ( not even any ads)called "Live Air Solo." ( with Live Air Solo you can even add graphic overlays while live and switch between cameras...so you could run 3 iphone cameras at an event and switch back and forth live between shots.
Enter the 2 lines of RTMP and URL from your YT account Live Streaming Beta page and your done...
Now if you ever want to stream at a certain time or just on the spur of the moment- just open the app on your phone and select 'go live"....there is about a 30 second delay...but everything you see on your iphone will be streaming to the jamroom pages where you have the player..

Lets say you are driving down a desolate country road and you spot a UFO full of Aliens...open app and start filming and its streaming live the moment you do...whats even cooler is it also makes a YT video on your page of what you streamed automatically.

I discoverd all this AFTER I spent $700 on A VIDIU Streaming Encoder and $150 on a big backup battery :)

Hope thats helpful

That's great - thanks for the tip - I've marked this as "user tip". Just wanted to be sure you knew WHY we do not support playing youtube videos through the JR players.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the info.I'll give it try and see how it works.My main concern is that I want to utilize youtube video ID's imported by the site users.

Currently I have php script which scans my JR database and outputs the Youtube ID's to an xml file.The xml file feeds into UVP player.However,I can't make a selection from the users youtube videos or add video adverts(much like JR playlist).

I'm looking for something in those lines. Anyways thanks for the info.

Taking you back to the jplayer/youtube issue.I was looking at info on Jplayer website and it appears a plugin called "popcorn.js" is used to play Youtube,Vimeo,soundcloud etc.
Can it work with jamroom?..Are TOS compliance issues still a concern?

Mozilla's own site using popcorn (one of the webmaker sites) went away a while ago, not sure why.

Yes - if someone finds a technical solution to a problem that does not make it a legal solution. "popcorn time" is a well known product that relies on torrents for most of what it does and is not concerned with TOS violations. I would never run that on my site.

The "popcorn time" app/software is different from the popcorn plugin.Different developers and websites.I checked it on the web.Popcorn is an open source, HTML5 javascript library for integration with the web applications.
Anyways,I was just surprised that the popcorn plugin never came up in our previous posts considering that it is supported by Jplayer.

Brian, Popcorn was a very nice Mozilla project which mixed various kinds of media on a video editor type of timeline. It was a part of their webmaker education project, not related to popcorn time in any way.

I hope with popcorn.js,Brian or Ultrajam can come up with a super playlist player/module for all jamroom media(Youtube,vimeo,mp3 etc.)
You already have one buyer waiting.
Cheers!

It's still a violation of Youtube's TOS to play a YouTube video outside their video player, so it is not something we would provide. Sorry!

And Mozilla folded their project - I dont think popcorn has much of a future.
