Custom Video Players!

**Update: I have since realized that these videos also have HQ capabilities, located in the lower right hand corner of the viewing square, when the movie is playing. You can select (if it's available in the video itself) High Quality, as well as closed captions and annotations. Man, it's pretty sweet. End of Update**

Hey, folks! I just found out about these! You create them especially for videos that you might want to embed a bunch, or -- I'm thinking especially or -- a playlist you want to embed, which you want to look a few steps up from 'pretty terrible'.

At any rate, here is my Custom Video Player (dramatic music just played, y'all) for Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. I used the second layout this time.



I am stomping my feet with glee! I am awestruck and begiddled! That video player is OLYMPIAN!!!

I wonder if I can get it to go to the first, probably less awesome layout. And I wonder if I can tinker with the code to get it larger. But first things first: first layout.

(works at it)

Nope! Once you create the Custom Video Player, you cannot change the layout. The color? Yes. The content? yes. The title and description? Yes. But not the layout. So, I'll make another one -- this time for Naruto: The Abridged Series!
Almost as good. Sorry, Masako and Vegeta.



Not. Nearly. As Good. Also, apparently this format has cut out some of my videos -- video #20 in the series. I really don't know why that would be.

Let's try . . . the same series in a different layout. And for that matter, let's try the Yu-Gi-Oh in the worse layout. See if any episodes are lost.

Okay, good. It appears that the problem is with the playlist, not the player layout -- switching things around produced no difference. Other than making me sad when I looked at the diminished Yu-Gi-Oh player. Never fear, though: What you saw was only a terrible copy! In fact, it is named 'Terrible'. The original awesome structure is still intact.

Now, to mess with the dimensions! Let's use Yu-Gi-Oh: Abridged, awesome format, for the tests. I will be making sure to keep the ratio between the two dimensions (the 'aspect ratio'??) the same, so that when I divide one by the other, I will get the same answer then as I do now.

First let's try . . . hmm. . . 1492 by 826



Well that was interesting. Let's try this in a different post; the loading times are starting to slow me down.
