1.0.2

This release:

• Adds a new attribute, playbackstarted.
• Bumps up the Polymer dependencies to 0.5.4.

Installation

bower install GoogleWebComponents/google-youtube

1.0.1

This release bumps up the Polymer dependencies to 0.5.1.

Installation

bower install GoogleWebComponents/google-youtube

1.0.0

This release bumps up the Polymer dependencies to 0.5.0.

Installation

bower install GoogleWebComponents/google-youtube

0.0.9

This release adds support for a new attribute, playsupported. <google-youtube> will automatically attempt to determine whether programmatic initial playback of a video is supported in the current browser, and set playsupported to true if it is, and false if it isn't. This value is then cached using <core-localstorage> and used during subsequent visits to your page from the same browser.

Most mobile browsers do not support initial playback via the <video>.play() method, and if you attempt playback of a YouTube embed on such a browser, the embed becomes unusable.

It's recommended that if you have a custom "Play" button in your web page that in turns calls <youtube-video>.play(), you disable the button if <youtube-video>.playsupported is false—the demo page has an example of the recommended logic for determining whether a "Play" button should be enabled/disabled.

Installation

bower install GoogleWebComponents/google-youtube

bower install GoogleWebComponents/google-youtube

0.0.7

This version of <google-youtube> adds supports for the fluid attribute.

Setting <google-youtube fluid> will tell the player to find the ratio of your video's width and height (if set), otherwise it will assume a 16:9 aspect ratio. It will then set its width to 100% and add enough padding to preserve the correct aspect ratio. This means your video will resize on responsive web pages without adding black letterboxes. More info about fluid and all the other parameters can be found in the docs.

Installation

bower install GoogleWebComponents/google-youtube

Changelog

• d02dc3b - Close GH-12. Add fluid attribute

0.0.6

This version of <google-youtube> adds supports for the thumbnail attribute.

If set, an <img src="{{thumbnail}}"> will be used in place of the YouTube embed initially, and when clicked on it will be swapped out for an autoplaying embed. More info about thumbnail and all the other parameters can be found in the docs.

Installation

bower install GoogleWebComponents/google-youtube

• 6bc531c - Added an alt= attribute to the <img>.
• c01f929 - Reworked some styles.
