I know that I can use embed parameters such as &start=10, but I would like to know if there is an option that could load the iframe showing a different time in the video for image purpose, and possibly still start at the beginning.
YouTube doesn't allow you to set custom frames as stills - I think it gives you some options to choose from when you upload your video, see more info here: http://www.squidoo.com/youtubeframe

I want to embed this a-frame project to my portfolio on Squarespace (most basic plan) like what a-frame shows in their embedded page but I'm not even sure if it's possible? I'm also super new to coding so let me know if I should provide more info. If people can also explain things in baby language that would be awesome thanks
embedding remote a-scene?
if you want to link your existing project to a different page then... I don't think it's possible. Look:
the documentation page uses a real a-scene there, with a-boxes and stuff.
It may be possible via iframes but I don't know if it works. There is something like this in the documentation:
For now, if the I-Frame is not on the same origin as the page, the WebVR polyfill for mobile won’t work and there won’t be any tracked rotation of the device. - source
embedded
embedded is used to create a smaller window of a-scene inside a standard HTML page. As far as I know, it just sets or changes some CSS values. Unfortunately, there is nothing like a magical src attribute that would allow you to fetch a different scene from another page
If you can upload a static HTML file onto Squarespace then by all means you can embed it there. But remember that
Only one <a-scene> can exist on a page - same source
You would need to copy your entire project a-scene and paste it into your Squarespace page. Add A-Frame script in header or link a js file and all standard stuff.
link
this may not be what you are looking for but you could potentially create an embeded a-frame scene that would have a link inisde that would "teleport" you (change location) to your project. link - A-Frame
I know this question is simple and kind of silly but I really need to get an answer. I am doing some kind of family videos put together and I want that to be on one page or like an HTML file. but when I embed/link a directory file of video to the html it will play on the browser. Is there any way that when I embed a link it will just ask what application to open and will open on that video player that I selected? I'm not really that techie but I really need to make an offline HTML to organize my stuff. thank you so much in advance.

Not all browsers do this, but many will. One way to look at this is that the browser in this case is the desired application for viewing that video. (Often times, the user didn't make this choice of course, it was made for them.)
There are a couple ways around this. One way is to add the download attribute to your anchor element:
<a href="video.webm" download>Download the video</a
This will suggest to the browser that the video should be saved to local disk, and not just immediately opened.
A second method is to use an M3U file. All you need in your file is something like this:
#EXTM3U
https://example.com/video.webm
These tend to open up in the default player. Just keep in mind that not everyone has such a player installed.
You have to make your video files downloadable by creating a download link to it. This will give the option of either open in browser or save to local disk.
I want to display videos stored on Amazon S3, but I don't want to make the video files publicly available. To do this I plan to use pre-signed, temporary link URLs with a standard video element. If there is a better way to play auth-protected videos I would be interested to hear it, but the rest of my question is predicated on this approach.
I can refresh the pre-signed URL when it expires, but I can't change the src attribute without the video element thinking that I am giving it a whole new video to load. Is there a way to change the src but specify that the new URL points to the same video file?
In case it makes a difference, I only need to change the URL's query string.
This question deals with an almost identical problem but the proposed solution (setting the starting offset time of the video before reloading) is unsatisfactory to me. That still requires reloading the video file and the transition is very noticeable.
I want to give users of an app the possibilty to post a video from youtube by entering an url in a textfield. To ensure that the link exists, I want to check the url.
I only found examples to check if an external file exists but not how to check a simple www link. How can I check this?
Youtube doesn't really have a 404 page, so you'll always end up loading a page...
I don't know how you'll be loading the page...whether javascript will come into play once the page is loaded and take the argument of the video id...
But if all that goes through.... You'd want to look for this sniped of data in this div to determine whether or not the video exists.
I'm building an html5 application and I'm struggling with the scope of the createObjectURL method.
To give you some information on my application to help you understand my issue:
- page 1: the user submits his video and I'm fetching info about his video (IMDB info mainly)
- page 2: this is the page where the video is actually played.
Now my question: when the user submits his video on page 1, can I create the blob url (createObjectURL method) and pass it to page 2 to play the video or is it out of scope?
The explanation is rather ambiguous on this page: "Blob URLs are unique and last for the lifetime of your application (e.g. until the document is unloaded)": page 1 and page 2 are in the same application but the document will be unloaded between those two pages right?
Thanks
So it seems that indeed blob URLs in html5 have only the page as a scope!
The two solutions that I found to tackle the problem described above are:
1. Put everything in the same page (you can modify the page with js for example)
2. Or use an iframe to load the second page "in" the first one.
Hope that can help someone out there.
