Yousearch plugin

This plugin displays a small searchbox in the player that searches youtube for videos. The search results are loaded in the playlist of the player.

This plugin is compatible with version 4.1 of the player.

Example

Here is an example of the yousearch plugin in action. The flashvars are shown below the example. Next to loading the plugin, this example shows the playlist, hides the icons in the display and preloads a feed with top Youtube videos:

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

playlist=right&playlistsize=360&file=http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/recently_featured&icons=false& plugins=yousearch

Configuration

The plugin is loaded with the flashvar plugins=yousearch. This will automatically load the latest version of the plugin straight off our servers. It offers no additional flashvars.

Since this plugin uses the official Youtube API and chromeless player, there's no workarounds to either hiding the Youtube logo or displaying higher quality videos.
