Hi Ben,

Do you know any more about why it's not possible to have more than one instance of the player on the stage at once? Getting round this would enable me to redo http://passingby.tv/ without having to pipe the videos through my own server.

Hello James,

From what I understand, there are some low-level issues with the YouTube player itself. This may have been fixed, or fixed with some work-arounds.

I'm trying to find the time to look into this and see if I can get it working. Follow the Google Code project for any updates.

Playing in more than one location inside a flex app

I want to use TubeLoc to play youtube videos from my flex-app. How ever, I have several locations (mxml files) where I need to place the
tag.

It plays from the first spot the user reaches, but not from the following ones. I see that there is a new localconnection created for each , still I get the error of "already connected" when the line number 159 in MovieSprite.as is run:

receivingConnection.connect(as3Id);

Is there a way to overcome this ?.

Thanks

Hi.

I'm using tubeloc in my AIR app to show the chromeless youtube player. It works but a huge number of security sandbox violation errors are thrown constantly!
Any ideas?
I've tried to add the allowdomain("*") but air apps do not allow to do this :(

here the error:

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain 'http://www.youtube.com/swf/cl.swf?eurl=app%3A/as2_tubeloc.swf%3Fas3Id%3Das3Id_12415076817010%26as2Id%3Das2Id_12415076817021%26as3Listener%3DonLocalConnectionEvent%26pl&sk=jQsY3zE0d-7RPFSSh-LphK4BCDcUMc-YC' tried to access incompatible context 'app:/as2_tubeloc.swf?as3Id=as3Id_12415076817010&as2Id=as2Id_12415076817021&as3Listener=onLocalConnectionEvent&playerAPIUrl=http%3A//www.youtube.com/apiplayer'

Thanks,
Les.

Ben, First great job on this component. It really saved me a lot of time in my personal project.

My question, I think has to do with the as2_tubeloc.swf file. I have the need to call the YouTube video from a php proxy script. I get the error below, when I play the video straight from YouTube.

I was wondering if the YouTube request is made in the as2_tubeloc.swf file, if so, do you have any ideas how I could call the url from a php proxy script on my server, so I can add a cross domain policy file and serve it to my webpage, and not get the error below?

ERROR MSG below: I masked the website url with localhost.

SecurityError: Error #2121: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: http://localhost/CreateMagazine.swf cannot access http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/cps-vfl96213.swf. This may be worked around by calling Security.allowDomain.

So, instead of calling "http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/cps-vfl96213.swf" directly, I would like to call "http://localhost/proxy.php?file=http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/cps-vfl96213.swf". This way my proxy script can serve up the video, instead of YouTube allowing me to do some manipulation I need to do.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information of a link to the site to see the error yourself, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jigar

Hi Ben, I have not heard anything regarding my previous question. I may have missed an email or you might just be too busy. Please let me know if I should try other avenues to resolve my issue/question.

Thanks,

Hi, Ben!
there is a problem with tubeLoc when main swf and your as_tubeloc.as wrapper are on the different domains - main swf receives the calls but wrapper is not.
there is opened issue #12 here http://code.google.com/p/tubeloc/issues/detail?id=12&can=1#makechanges

Please, help solve this problem!!!!

Hey,

TubeLoc is good, but there are little issues with it. So I wrote a tut about how to create your own AS3 wrapper for YouTube Player for both the chromed and chromeless players: http://ahmednuaman.com/blog/2009/06/29/the-youtube-player-api/

Tell me if it's handy.
