[TYPO3-english] YouTube videos with media element

[Chris Müller]

Hi Kay,

I pasted the YouTube share url into the field "Path or URL to fallback 
video source" and let all other field untouched but get the flash player 
in frontend. But then I got only an empty flash player. I switched to 
the render type "Native HTML Embed Element" but this has also no 
effects. I tried also the various input fields to paste the youtube url. 
Nothing happens.

Then I digged into the code.  The correct place is "Path or URL to 
fallback video source". The YouTube URL is later correctly changed from 
the youtu.be to the to the youtube/v/ syntax.

I ended in the method  tslib_content_Multimedia->render().
I got the filename (the Youtube URL) in the render() method and then it 
calls $GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->getFileName(). This method only works with 
local files, so the output is empty.

So it seems urls from youtube, vimeo, etc. aren't working.

Regards,
Chris.
