How to use this plugin?
When you have installed it, you can for example start by pasting this shortcode into your WordPress post editor:
[youlist pid="PL3FF15AA7ED356D9F"]
like this:
and preview the post. Then you can change the pid value to match your own playlist.
The above pid value is taken from this playlist url:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3FF15AA7ED356D9F
You can then try out the usage examples given below or here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/youlist/
There is a small playlist icon in the bottom right corner
Showcases

Few usage examples:
Example: Adele YouTube playlist with thumbnails
[youlist pid="PL3FF15AA7ED356D9F"]
Example: Adele YouTube playlist with custom styling
[youlist pid="PL3FF15AA7ED356D9F" style="width:400px;height:300px;z-index:1;border:2px solid gold;background-color:orange;padding:10px;"]
Example: Playlist from the search string “higgs boson”
[youlist search="higgs boson"]
Example: Playlist for uploaded videos by the user “mismag822″
[youlist uid="mismag822" listtype="user_uploads"]
Example: Playlist for favorite videos of the user “mismag822″
[youlist uid="mismag822" listtype="user_favorites"]
Example: Three YouTube videos with thumbnails
[youlist vid="ZF_K8D414-Y,sFHXWoawnt0,E2uOGOqIyC4"]
Example: Three YouTube videos without thumbnails
[youlist vid="ZF_K8D414-Y,sFHXWoawnt0,E2uOGOqIyC4" showinfo="0" ]
Why the thumbs not apear after play the vídeos?
The thumb functionality is defined by YouTube, so I can’t change that.
But you can press the playlist button (small play icon on the right side of the player) to display the video-thumbs at any time.
this button not apear in bar
see in sidebar of this site

Playlist not apear in widget/sidebar after vídeo play;
Now work well.
i reduce the width in 10px, and so the button apear now.
thank you for the nice plugin

Hi Rinus
You can for example start by pasting this shortcode into your WordPress post editor:
[youlist pid="PL3FF15AA7ED356D9F"]
and preview the post.
Then you can change the pid value to match your own playlist.

Hope this helps – did it work for you?
The solution is “&showinfo=1″
Complete piece of code looks like this “http://www.youtube.com/embed/cYaGXEzofMI?list=PLB8444444444FE&showinfo=1″
@Geo Moor, thanks for sharing.
The shortcode has showinfo=1 as a default setting but it can also be turned off with
[youlist showinfo="0" ]
Thanks for a brilliant plugin! Is it possible to hide all info (video title in the top, playlist name), but always bring up the playlist on stop?
- and also show the playlist on player load (both instances with thumbnails)?
Hi @Aurie, thanks
You can check out these options (not the full list) that the offical YouTube player supports:
- modestbranding [0|1] – Prevent the YouTube logo from displaying in the control bar
- showinfo [0|1] – Display thumbnail images for the videos in the playlist
- autohide [0|1|2] – Hide the video controls automatically after a video begins playing
- autoplay [0|1] – The initial video will autoplay when the player loads
- disablekb [0|1] – Disable the player keyboard controls
- controls [0|1|2] – Display the video player controls
- theme [dark|light] – Dark or light control bar
- color [red|white] – The color in the video progress bar
- fs [0|1] – Display the fullscreen button
- rel [0|1] – Show related videos when playback of the initial video ends
You might not get everything you want, but you could try to play with these options:
[youlist pid="PL3FF15AA7ED356D9F" showinfo="0" controls="2" autohide="2" modestbranding="0" autoplay="0" disablekb="0" theme="dark" color="red" fs="0" rel="0"]
Cheers
