Smarty

So as the other two tricks it is very simple code - only change ARD to the youtube screenname you want.

Seeing this and the previous five hundred posts about simple_xml_loadfile()…
Maybe you just want to write a plugin for embed.ly - using the oEmbed "standard". You can still pipe their results through a smarty template, but it shouldn't be necessary.

after all, {embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U35O2Zd63AE" width="400" height="300"} seems a bit more straight forward (and might be made compatible with any bbcode/markdown/whatever markup you allow your users to input).

Yes, I'm using oEmbed. No, I don't have a smarty plugin for that since I've never had a reason to embed something on a template level. But… you obviously have that need, so knock yourself out…

This is only a linear raw list without an extension to display a video in the own website.
Demo is here http://powercms.org/?366 at the end of the page.
You see very long descriptions of the owner in this example and you can decide to view it or not.

If someone wishes to show the videos onpage the best method is to use ajax and not to display all videos to start it onclick directly via embed or so, because this makes a page very slow - we have max 25 videos in the list.

If you want to make this: http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/basic-linking.html
with rss feed you can use the same code - change only the source.
