[Plugin: WP YouTube Lyte] Enable fullscreen button automatically?

Hmm, if I’m not very much mistaking this was in WP YouTube Lyte once, but apparently I nixed it by accident or for reasons I don’t remember. I’ll look into this for the next version (1.2.0 if all goes well).

In the mean time you could open up wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyte/lyte-min.js, search for

&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3
in there and change that into
&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&fs=1&iv_load_policy=3

It’s there, but it disappears when the video is clicked.

the “lyte player” you see is a placeholder for the real youtube video player which is only loaded when clicked. so it’s there, but it isn’t really ??

I see. So there is no way to ensure the fullscreen button is on the real player using this plugin?

there is, using the small code change from my initial comment. the same change should also be present in the next version.

Thanks futtta. I have indeed made that change.
Still, The full screen button does appear on the placeholder; The full screen button does not appear on the real player.

Edit: here’s an example post

thanks for the link, i’ll investigate tomorrow!

it took me some time, but just checked out your link and if i’m not mistaking, you identified & fixed the problem by replacing “fs=1” with “allowfullscreen=1”?

Just looked at youtube embed code as available for most youtubes; apperantly “allowfullscreen” is now added as an attribute of the iframe, like this;

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WeVxE3B49E0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I’ll add this small change in wp-youtube-lyte.php for the upcoming version (not sure if I’ll create a 1.1.9 with a couple of smaller fixes like this one, or if I should just work on 1.2.0 instead which will be a more thorough change but which may take me some more time).

I just released version 1.1.9 which adds the “allowfullscreen” attribute. Let me know how that works for you!

I still don’t see a fullscreen button on the YT player, though it is indeed working on the placeholder.
Thanks for all your work on this so far!
