I use your widget. It works well in IE7, Safari and Firefox 3, but not in IE6 (Internet Explorer 6). I know it is outdated, but it is still used by about 25% of my visitors. I think IE6 does not parse the plugin's output correctly. See http://blog.tremend.ro/2008/08/06/dinamically-embed-youtube-videos-on-ie6-using-innerhtml/ for talk on the issue. Any ideas how the plugin should be adjusted?

Fantastic Plugin. Easy-Peacy-Lemonsqueezy to install but……

Is it possible to let let is "stick" where it is no mather if you change pages or clink on another link?

My plan is to have a sertain musicvideo playing in the background when the user is browsing around on the page and don't cut the music when changing to another post or something like that

Is the plugin enabled? What's the error message?

You have to put it in php tags, since you're calling the php function in the plugin.

Edit- Nevermind. You commented again while I was writing this.

Thanks for fast response, but can I ask You to be a little more detailed?

I mean 4th step – where You call plugin.
I did first three steps (bah..:)) and then I open my sidebar.php file – and add this code:
1.to call
2.to get video

Can I ask what am I doing wrong, because now I am just getting fatal error or if I don't add php tags, I am just getting text on sidebar.

In the template wherever you want the video to be displayed.

youtube(uri[,width,height[,autoplay]])
"

This works with WP to 2.6 ! It is even better than the famous Daikos Widgets Youtube which spend days to get it to work but fail. With this Youtube sidebar I just install and paste the "youtube.." code provided with and everything works as said. check my site to prove it. http://www.moremusic.co.th

Thanks

I've updated to wordpress 2.5 and the youtube plugin doesn't work. I have tried this one but putting the line youtube("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxu_MQSTTY",500,330) in a text sidebar box doesn't work.
This line is not working.
Any idea??
