Hi,

I have created a publication with a page that has a youtube object and the URL set to "None". What I need to do is tell the video to use the variable "VideoURL" as its source URL as I need to be able to change the source URL each time the page loads. I can't see how to set the URL via a script, can anyone help?

Also when I play the youtube video I need the audio to be muted as I don't want the sound to play. Can this be done?

Thanks

It's easy enough to dynamically load / switch YouTube videos by tapping into the opus.js source code.

Create a YouTube video object called 'V1' or use a different name and adjust the code below and then simple add your own YouTube embed link:

Code:
V1.setEmbeddedURL("https://www.youtube.com/embed/Agny54Z6jmM");
V1.startObject(true);


The controlling of the video is possible, such as muting but you need to look at using the API which is much more involved:
