the problem with that plugin is that it runs the old youtube emmbed code,
what you need to do is:

go to the file:
youtubevideo.php

look for:
<object width="<?=$width?>" height="<?=$height?>"><param name="movie" value="<? echo $url; ?>"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="<? echo $url; ?>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="<?=$width?>" height="<?=$height?>"></embed></object>

replace it with:
<iframe width="<?=$width?>" height="<?=$height?>" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/<? echo $url; ?>" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

now insted of pasting the full video link in the admin panel, just past the vidro slug.
insted of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcgOdQQonN4

just:
hcgOdQQonN4

enjoy

where you see this in the <iframe <? echo $url; ?> add this ?wmode=transparent at the end of ?> to fix the menu going under the video.

i don’t know what you are talking about man. i showed a way to make this plugin work with the new youtube iframe format

?wmode=transparent add this at the end of <? echo $url; ?> this. So it looks like <? echo $url; ?>?wmode=transparent it will clear a glitch in IE with the drop down menu in wordpress. The menu would go behind the video. I patched the version with your fix and mine and changed some of the language files. Kept the url to this plugin since his website is not working.

if you use an IFRAME than there is no need to use “pbject” and “wmode=transparent”, it dose not work together.

if you have a problem with a menu that goes under the IFRAME , than you can give the div that has the menu inside it a “z-index:999”, that will fix your problem. but don’t use “wmode=transparent” with an IFRAME, it will not work together.

zeevm.co.il i dont get why you are being so edgy about the fix. It does work with the iframe version I have tested it out myself and works find in both fox and ie. I am simply helping people who have the same issue with the menu. As you are in getting this plugin working again. I was not trying to take credit for your fix I find it great people still think this plugin deserves updates. I wish the owner would get back on it or let you or someone else active fix it.

i’m sorry my friend 🙂 wasn’t edgy, i just wanted to help you do this proprly without using old tecnolagy…

i built sevral plugins, if the owner won’t update this plugin i can re upload it with the fix. but i am not sure if this is allowed and i can seem to find a way to contact the plugin owner

Sometimes old technology is better it works find but yes you can do the z-index:9999; trick :). Would be nice to see this plugin updated I am also un certain about the rules of re-doing an abandon software. I think if you give him credit and link to his profile should be find.
