How2 : YouTube Video to JW Longtail


1. Upload Video to YouTube

2. Create Playlist, copy the playlist ID. NOTE : Don't copy the "PL" at the end ( example = http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBD968C4F261819C7 ), just use the "BD968C4F261819C7" part.

3. Go to "Saving and Collecting Videos > Playlist > Get" on this page to convert playlist to XML Feed : http://gdata.youtube.com/demo/index.html

4. Feed will look like : http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/6751A9FD6238DBBF - BIG NOTE : add this code at the end to make sure to load the most videos "?max-results=50"

5. Install Longtail Plugin for WP

6. Go to Longtail WP Plugin setup config and customize your player.

5. Place this code anywhere in a WP article to show video & playlist : [jwplayer config = "YouRock" file = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/6751A9FD6238DBBF"]
