Why is it so hard to get a youtube video to run in Wappler?
I used AI to do a page for this, looks like a nice page but when you add a youtube link nothing happens/
Follow this video:
Well not really a Wappler issue. To display a YouTube video on your page you need its embed code, not its url.
Thanks All
I looked in NPM and only found a youtube extension not the wappler version is this the same?
I found the wappler youtube player added it to the extensions said it loaded OK, everything good so far. Using Docker as the server it's up and running and connects. Page made. Now when I go to components I do not see the player. I have reloaded the page, closed the project and restarted and still no youtube ext. What have I done wrong
Hello Ben you are on top of things thanks
still not there. the layout is but not youtube
Follow the video again in case you missed something.
Ben is there a way to check that the player is loaded correctly in wappler?
hello Ben
I did a terminal load of wappler-youtube-player
this is the readout in the terminal
D:\optics>npm i wappler-youtube-player

any thoughts?
I have just now placed two YouTube videos on this page using the same technique as shown in the video above: https://bayside-properties.com.au/
No problem. Make sure that <script src="/js/dmx-youtube-player.js" defer></script> is shown on the page.
The extension is an app connect extension,not a server extension, so may need to be installed using the correct Wappler procedure rather than via terminal.

Hello Ben
I have added that extension a dozen times with the same result. I was grasping at straws trying the terminal method.
Hello Ben
After many reboots and saves the youtube player did show up and works fine after I viewed your tutorial on videos.
Thanks again
