Embed video using only the url

Question

given youtube url, how can I embed a video in a page using .net C #?

Answer 1

In ASP.NET MVC 3, you can use the Video.Flash method from ASP.NET Web Page Helpers :

 @Microsoft.Web.Helpers.Video.Flash("http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxx") 

Here is a decent blog post explaining how you could implement it:

• Video Web Helper in ASP.NET MVC 3 RC 2 - Add Video to Your Web Pages

Update

If you do not want to use Microsoft web page directories, you can, of course, write your own HtmlHelper extension method. You can find a good downloadable example for HtmlHelper for showing YouTube videos in ASP.NET MVC in this blog post:

• Show youtube videos in asp.net mvc using "YouTubePlayerHelper"

Answer 2

Just add a line as shown below.

 <iframe type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/[VIDEO_ID]?autoplay=1" frameborder="0"> </iframe> 

With auto play, = is set as you like, either 0 or 1 (depending on whether you want people to actually stay on your page or not :)

Answer 3

You can try with video tag 5:

  <video id="SomeID" name="media" src="http://youtube.com/somevideo" />
