YouTube - FieldTypes

I am looking at embedding youtube video to my site -

I have followed the instructions - listed here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/field-types/youtube/

The first line under installation and configuration says - Download and place the youtube folder within perch/addons/fieldtypes - I can see anything to download?

I have setup the API Key which I have added to the config file, I have also added the player parameters to the site but all I see on the page is the YouTube URL not the embedded video?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hello Alex,

You can download the YouTube field type from here (last one on the list): https://addons.perchcms.com/archive

And to output the video you need to use the output attribute:

<perch:content id="video" type="youtube" width="800" label="YouTube URL" output="embed" />

Thanks Hussein

I've downloaded and added to the site.

When I edit the region - I copy the youtube link and I can see the preview of the youtube video appears under the URL.

When I submit I get the following error above the CMS screen

Any ideas?

You may need to specify the height too:

<perch:content id="video" type="youtube" width="800" height="450" label="YouTube URL" output="embed" />
