Embedded Youtube videos are appearing over my Shadowbox player, can anyone help? - shadowbox

Hi any help would be greatly appreciated I've tried a bunch of z-index and wmode fixes. No luck so far.
On my site www.GeocachersNYC.com
I have a Tumblr feed on the left that has embedded Youtube videos. On the right icons that launch youtube videos that play in Shadowbox. This has always worked fine but after upgrading to CS5 Dreamweaver and uploading the site the embedded videos in the feed appear over the Shadowbox. Seems to be a problem only in Google Chrome, looks fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
If you need me to provide any code just let me know.

Add a wmode=transparent attribute to the end of your embed code:
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gfG2hdGiTqs?rel=0&modestbranding=1&wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" width="525" height="297"></iframe>
Here is a document that explains it more in depth: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/float-div-youtube-iframe/

Playing video from youtube and other pages

I am using a video_player package which nicely shows videos stored in firebase storage via their links in firestore. But replacing link to video in storage with youtube link doesn't work.
My point is to make an app which would show videos from youtube and maybe other pages like vimeo.
Maybe someone has done it already?
Thank you in advance
This package does the work perfectly
*I've used it on Flutter version < 2.0 so I don't know if it will work if you're using the current framework version

iPhone WebApp Autoplaying Embeded Youtube

This is a problem I've been noticing since the youtube embed design change, at least from what I've noticed.
So what's happening is any web pages that have been added to homescreen that have a youtube video embedded will autoplay the first youtube video on screen in the youtube app. This doesn't happen when you open the same web page is opened in safari.
Basically any web pages that have a youtube video embedded are inaccessible due to it automatically redirecting you to the youtube app.
How can I stop this? Or is it something they've added that can't be fixed?
Update: found similar question with the proper workaround Embedded YouTube videos in HTML5 standalone app iOS 8.3 opening YouTube app
Unfortunately, the only workaround I've found so far is to disallow web application to runs in full-screen mode by removing:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
Neither postponed iframe injection to dom, nor even putting iframe in iframe helps.
I really hope that it is not the intended behaviour and it will be resolved soon via iOS update; though until then I have to use server-side to detect OS 8_3 in useragent and deliver them modified version of webapp.

Opening link on an HTML page to a specific page of a PDF on an iPad

I've been searching for the answer to this for the past two days but can't get it to work.
I'm working on a web app built in HTML that is optimized for the iPad. One of the pages has different links to different pages of a 50 page pdf. I used the link on Adobe's site http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/link-html-pdf-page-acrobat.html using sample.html#page=2 and that worked in desktop browsers on Windows, but not on the iPad. I've also tried creating destinations in the PDF and linking to them, but that didn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only real requirement is that no additional software can be downloaded for viewing. Thanks again.
Just remove the "=" sign.
So: sample.html#page2
That should work for iPad.
Those links work only with desktop versions of Adobe products. It might be possible for Adobe to add support for them in Adobe Reader for iPad in the future.

Problem with youtube embed in UIWebView

I inserted a youtube embed code (the iframe code) in a UIWebView on iPhone and since i upgraded to iOS 4.3.4 it will not play those videos anymore.
It shows fine in the uiwebview but when tapping the play button it goes blank.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
(I could use the old youtube embed code but it really stirs my display when it is returning)
best regards,
broch
Edit (July 30th 2011): It is working again! Really great. Thanks to the guys at YouTube
Check out this link, it looks like its a youtube issue and not us! Engineers are working on it.

I can confirm this issue exists in iOS 4.3.5 as well (tested on an iPhone 4 and iPad 2). We've found that YouTube's embed method no longer works in a UIWebView. The video will usually play but you will only hear the audio.
Falling back to YouTube's old Flash embed code will solve the problem, however it is indeed slower this way. But at least it works.
In the app I'm working on, we retrieve JSON encoded data from a web server. We've simply made it so this data includes the YouTube embed code, which we can change back to the iframe at any time. That way we don't have to keep updating our app every time Apple breaks some functionality, instead we just update our JSON script which only takes a second. Hopefully you can implement some workaround similar to this, or perhaps just go with the old embed code for now until Apple or YouTube addresses the bug.

Is there any way to play video on an iphone from a website, without using youtube or a custom app?

I'd like website viewers to be able to play a video on an iphone, without posting the video to youtube, and without them having to install any iphone apps. Are there any other options here?
If you host a Quicktime movie, it'll play just fine without any additional software. There is a "designing web pages for the iPhone" document somewhere on Apple's web site that gives more detail on supported formats, I think.
just having a link to a quicktime-playable video file works I believe
