Video Playlist (Youtube) not working with a playlist

Posted in: Newspaper

I’ve got a news site that will be constantly updating. I’d like to have a playlist with the top videos for the day where a recap video gets posted once or twice a day. Currently I’ve got an embed code from Youtube with the playlist but it doesn’t have the look I want and if I didn’t know better i’d say it was just a video and not a playlist.

Is it possible to get the Video Playlist (Youtube) element to work with an actual playlist? The only option I see currently is to manually input the video id for each video which is time consuming and a recipe for disaster down the road with the number of people that I expect will be involved with this.

Thanks

Hi,

So if you just want to copy a playlist video from YouTube, all you need to do is to copy that video url -> http://prntscr.com/pndcqw and set it in a column text or text with title in text area -> http://prntscr.com/pndcqw -> http://prntscr.com/pnddar your video should look like this -> http://prntscr.com/pndddx -> http://prntscr.com/pnddhs or if you want you can try the video playlist too -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-2/

Thank you!

So what you’re saying is that it’s not an element for using an existing playlist from youtube or vimeo, it’s an element for making a playlist on the site that would need to be manually updated with links from youtube or vimeo.

That’s not really what we’re wanting, but I think we’ve figured out a way to work around it and get the look that we want anyway.

Thanks

Hello,

Yes, there is no element/shortcode in our theme that will be automatically update the youtobe videos, only manually, or you can try the above solution.

Thank you!
