longtone Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i want the embedded video to have a thumbnail. You need to use the Youtube API eg: http:gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/IYhjYAZcuN0 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155239-why-cant-i-embed-a-youtube-video-on-my-website/#findComment-817829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
coalgames Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I see what you mean. You are making a portal where users enter in an embed code that goes into your database then a list of videos appear on your website. You could probably use fopen() to grab the thumbnail from the youtube site.

TheFilmGod Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I see what you mean. You are making a portal where users enter in an embed code that goes into your database then a list of videos appear on your website. You could probably use fopen() to grab the thumbnail from the youtube site. fopen() is restricted from external servers. You simply would want to find the link of the image on youtube's server and "hotlink" the image to youtube's server. Google "youtube thumbnail" for help. I'm sure there are some thumbnails.
