This video plugin can take a YouTube or Vimeo url and return an array of info such as a thumbnail image, title, length, tags, views, etc. It can even automatically embed the video into the page. It uses the newer iframe embed method which adds html5 support to both YouTube & Vimeo video which means they can be play on mobile devices such as iPhone and Android.
Requires PHP 5 .2+ with JSON support.
Embed Video Embedding a video is super easy. Just input a YouTube or Vimeo url and optional dimensions like so:
echo $video->embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZW9NYX6JZA', '630', '350');
Result Video Info To pull the info for a video all you need to do is pass the url of the video you’re interested in. The function will automatically determine the type and return an array of relevant data.
$info = $video->info('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZW9NYX6JZA');

While the function will automatically determine if your video is from YouTube or Vimeo, the respective API ’s each return slightly different data. We’ve already seen what info you can get back from a YouTube video, now here’s an example of the data returned from Vimeo:
$info = $video->info('http://vimeo.com/14173983');
// Information return from a Vimeo link $info['video_id'] $info['status'] $info['title'] $info['info'] $info['mobile_url'] $info['thumb_small'] $info['thumb_med'] $info['thumb_large'] $info['user'] $info['user_url'] $info['user_thumb_small'] $info['user_thumb_medium'] $info['user_thumb_large'] $info['user_thumb_huge'] $info['likes'] $info['plays'] $info['comments'] $info['duration'] $info['width'] $info['height'] $info['tags'] $info['embed']
