How to custom sort & display YouTube videos daily

@guenni007, I followed up with Embed Plus. Retrieving the latest single video from a Playlist is not currently a feature that Embed Plus provides. Thank you for the suggestion.

Enfold Support & others,
Could I use a permanent link to retrieve the most recent YouTube video from my Playlist, something like this:

<div class="youtube-video-container">
<iframe
  width="560"
  height="315"
  src="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list= PLI1Ahx4x_H5fqrB6XB4pkeqyo2qsJnDus&playnext=1&index=1"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="accelerometer; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"
  allowfullscreen
></iframe>
</div>

I tried it but nothing showed up in the page. Any ideas of what I’m missing or another way to do this?

The next challenge is to ensure when I schedule the availability of my daily videos (i.e. schedule the date and move from Private to Public) that the YouTube video moves to the top of my Playlist. If I sort the Playlist by “Date Published (Newest)”, should the new published video move to the top of the list where the permanent link mentioned above would display it.

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Julio

but i think if you show the gallery – you see that there is on top the last added video and beneath the thumbnails of the older videolinks in that playlist.
All these thumbs are in a unique container ( class: epyt-gallery-list ) if you set this to display none – you will have on top the newest video link.

@Guenni007 THANK YOU so much for your CONTINUED SUPPORT and WILLINGNESS to HELP ME!!!

I have Embed Plus setup with a YouTube API v3. I’m not sure I totally follow “you see that there is on top the last added video and beneath the thumbnails of the older videolinks in that playlist” and “All these thumbs are in a unique container ( class: epyt-gallery-list ) if you set this to display none – you will have on top the newest video link.”

Can you show me in the plug-in with a screenshot and explain a little further – please. This is new to me and I’m trying to follow along. THANK YOU!!!

I’ve created a test page: https://kingdomlearners.com/youtube-embed-plus-test-page/ and it plays, but the problem is that once the latest video plays, it continues into the next Daily Word video from the Playlist, etc. etc. I’m pretty sure it’s because I didn’t fully understand your generous instructions.

Any and all assistance is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Best Regards,
Julio

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your response. Yes, the only issue now is that the next video plays automatically and I don’t want this?

I “think” I’ve disabled any auto continuous play setting, but maybe I’m overlooking it.

Here is a link to my test page: https://kingdomlearners.com/youtube-embed-plus-test-page/ I also provided my credentials below.

I have the plugin-in working as Contained Playlist at the top of my test page, which displays one video and after this video plays, the next ordered video in the Playlist starts, etc. However, the second test on this page I have a Gallery from the Playlist. The top video is the most recent. When it plays, at the end it stops and displays other relevant videos. If I could keep this and remove the other videos, this would be perfect. I think this is what @guenni007 was eluding to, but just not clear to me on how to implement it (e.g. “All these thumbs are in a unique container ( class: epyt-gallery-list ) if you set this to display none – you will have on top the newest video link.”)

“you see that there is on top the last added video and beneath the thumbnails of the older videolinks in that playlist” and “All these thumbs are in a unique container ( class: epyt-gallery-list ) if you set this to display none – you will have on top the newest video link.”

Thank you and others @guenni007 for your help.

Best Regards,
Julio

Mike,
Thank you for this code!

If I decided to hide the Relevant Videos, do I do that from the plug-in or within CSS code?

Also, when I play this video, from my smartphone, it launches another player window that requires more clicks. Is there a way to mimic this experience:

FYI – this doesn’t happen from PC/laptop.

Thank you for your help!!!

Hey Mike,

Yes, I’m testing this from my iPhone.

Here is how I start, but I need to click the play button twice for it to start playing. No idea why?

When it starts playing, it opens this other window/video player. I have to click the “X” in the upper left hand corner to exit this window/video player – extra clicks

After clicking the “X” I come back to this

Is there a way to correct this, so I don’t have the extra clicks?

I would only want this for two pages. Thanks for your offer to correct it. Can you do this on the test page and I apply it to the other 2 pages? Im still trying to figure out how to identify the most recent video on my Playlist. When I schedule from Private to Public with a newer date, it’s not automatically showing up at the top of my Playlist.

Greatly appreciate your help and the amazing help of this group.

Best Regards,
Julio

Mike,

Thank you for your help. The test video appeared to work on my iPhone.

Please see details below in PRIVATE.

We are launching our site on Monday, Mar14th. We could not have come this far without the Enfold theme and the outstanding support by the Kriesi Team. Thank you all for all your efforts, patience and guidance.

THANK YOU!!!

Best Regards,
Julio

Mike,
THANK YOU for re-adding the code!

Here is my experience from my iPhone using Google Chrome, Safari & DuckDuckGo:

1. Here is where it starts. I click on the Play Button. Note: As you can see, the Play Button is not red.

2. After clicking the Play Button, it acts like it wants to play, but then returns to the Play Button, which is red – see next image.

3. After the two steps above occur, then I have a red Play Button and the video plays inline.

Is there a way to correct this. My sincere apologies for this long thread. I guess I’m just getting nervous with the site launching tomorrow.

Thanks for ALL your HELP!!!

Best Regards,
Julio
