Description Juan Romay Sieira 2018-05-18 18:18:51 UTC
Some YouTube videos cannot be played beacause of a 403 error of the videoplayback URL. 

Video for testing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haT8g7oKnns

Comment 2 Juan Romay Sieira 2018-05-18 18:33:53 UTC
To test the patch you have to:
* install a new package: HTML::Video::Embed
* overwrite your opac.css with the attached in the bug, or create your opac.css with this command from the opac-tmpl directory: lessc --clean-css="--s0 --advanced --compatibility=ie7" bootstrap/less/opac.less > bootstrap/css/opac.css
* Enable the syspref HTML5MediaEnabled to some interface, and HTML5MediaYouTube to embed videos.
* Edit a biblio and put some youtube video in a 856u field.
* Check it in OPAC or INTRANET.

The video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haT8g7oKnns can not be played before the patch, but after it has no problems.

Bug 20783: Cannot embed some YouTube videos due to 403 errors

YouTube videos are embeded instead of played with its videoplayback
URL, that can throw a 403 error

To test the patch you have to:
    * Install a new package: HTML::Video::Embed
    * Rebuild the OPAC CSS (https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Working_with_SCSS_in_the_OPAC_and_staff_client)
    * Enable the syspref HTML5MediaEnabled to some interface, and
      HTML5MediaYouTube to embed videos.
    * Edit a biblio and put some youtube video in a 856u field.
    * Check it in OPAC or INTRANET.

The video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haT8g7oKnns can not be played
before the patch, but after it has no problems.

Comment 7 Owen Leonard 2018-10-02 16:45:20 UTC
I rebased this patch and converted the CSS changes to SCSS. I also modified the commit message to include the test plan.

It works well for me but I'm not sure about the explicit width and height for videos in the OPAC. Is it necessary? If so, shouldn't the same CSS change be added to the staff client?
Comment 8 Mirko Tietgen 2018-10-15 10:52:58 UTC
HTML::Video::Embed has not had an update in 4 years (version 0.016000). Have you looked into options that are actively developed?
Comment 9 Jonathan Druart 2018-10-19 13:50:24 UTC
Hi Juan,
I think the problem went from the fact that no video was available in webm (fmt=43) and that we could ask for the format list and get another URL.

The problem is that 403 is returned for other formats as well (mp4) for instance.

So apparently we should use an iframe to embed youtube videos (what does HTML::Video::Embed), and it is what Google suggests to do, but using JS, https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference

Would it work?
Comment 10 Jonathan Druart 2018-10-19 14:18:58 UTC
Additional infos:

The issue has been reported 3 years ago: https://github.com/xaicron/p5-www-youtube-download/issues/36

Does it only happen for audio-only?
Comment 11 Kelly McElligott 2020-04-28 13:51:35 UTC
This is still not working.  In 19.05.09-there is no tab appearing for the video as there was before.  I believe YouTube adjusted their API - this must have caused this.

Bug 20783: Use iframe to embed Youtube videos

WWW::YouTube::Download is broken and not reliable.
Other alternative was to use HTML::Video::Embed but not updated since
years.

The best alternative seems to follow youtube advise and use an iframe
https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference

Test plan:
Put youtube video in 856$u (using different url formats, youtu.be,
youtube.com/embed, etc.)
Enable HTML5MediaEnabled and HTML5MediaYouTube and confirm that the
youtube videos are correctly embeded.

We are now hitting https://github.com/xaicron/p5-www-youtube-download/issues/55 I decided to remove the dependency and use the recommanded way. Please test these patches and confirm it fixes the different issues.
Comment 15 Kelly McElligott 2020-05-12 12:47:59 UTC
Hi,
This does work on the staff side as it once did, however, the OPAC portion is not working.  The play media tab shows on both the staff side and the OPAC, but the OPAC play media tab does not play the youtube video, only shows a black box - attempting to play the video.

Can you share what you have in 856$u?

Ho right, I did not modify the OPAC template!

Hi Jonathan, this is missing filters - the automatic script adds html, but I think url or uri might be needed?

Please push the 19.11.x. They basically skip the library dependency portion which is not an issue.
