   Site Name: Enter the name of the site that contains the Youtube Player Sharepoint List: - leave this field empty if the Library is in the current site (eg. the Web Part is placed in the same site) - Enter a "/" character if the Library is contained in the top site - Enter a path if the Library is in a subsite of the current site (eg. in the form of "current site/subsite") List Name: Enter the name of the desired Sharepoint List. This defines the Sharepoint List that contains the Youtube URL's of the videos. View Name: Optionally enter the desired List View of the list specified above. A List View allows you to specify specific data filtering and sorting. If you specify a View, please make sure to include the following 3 columns in your View: Leave this field empty if you want to use the List default view. Video Embed URL: Random Movie Rotator: if this field is left empty, a video from the specified Sharepoint List will be randomly selected every time the page is accessed. top: if you enter the string "top", the topmost entry of the specified Library View is selected. This allows to dynamically select a video corresponding to a specified criterion (like "most recent" etc.).  Example: top Displays the topmost video in the specified List or View. This can be controlled by sorting/filtering the List View accordingly (Example: use a sort order of "Created" Descending to select the most recent entry). Static Display: If you rather want to statically display a specific video from the specified Sharepoint List, enter the video's Youtube embed URL. Example: http://youtu.be/cz6LbWWqX-g If you paste a YouTube URL (explained below) into this field, the corresponding YouTube video will be played. You can find the YouTube URL of the video in the box below the �Share this video� link of the YouTube page on www.youtube.com of the video to be displayed: YouTube Playlist: If you want to display a specific Youtube playlist, enter the Youtube playlist embed URL. Example: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_V0MXJ4v70IOkuXlYW5oPoOEzUXokOul You can find the YouTube playlist URL in the box below the �Share� link of the YouTube playlist page (by clicking on the �Playlists� tab) on www.youtube.com: Create a Web Part Connection between the Sharepoint List and the Youtube Web Part as follows: - switch the page to "Edit" mode - Choose "Connections" from the List Web Part "edit" menu - Choose "Provide Row To" - Select the Youtube Web Part in the menu If you connect to a Sharepoint List, you need to put the Youtube video URL's into a List column named "URL". You might also want to add a "Description" List column to store the media file desciptions. Player Width: enter the desired width of the Youtube Player in pixels (YouTube standard width is 425 pixels) Player Height: enter the desired height of the Youtube Player in pixels (YouTube standard height is 344 pixels) Show Title: this optional setting displays the media file Title in the Web Part header as defined in the Sharepoint List�s �Title� field. Show Description: this optional setting displays the media file Description in the Web Part body. These values are retrieved from the Sharepoint list entry (if present). Show Playlist: lists all the videos contained in the specified Sharepoint List (or a Youtube playlist) as a playlist for manual video playback selection. If the Sharepoint List contains a "Title" column, the playlist will show the values taken from this column. Also, if the Sharepoint List contains a "Description" column, these values will be shown in the playlist. The Youtube embed URL's are expected in the "URL" column. Playlist Template: you can optionally specify a playlist field template by entering the desired List fields (surrounded by curly braces). You can also embed HTML tags and CSS styles to freely format the playlist content. Example: Created:{Created} by {Created By}<br> Modified {Modified} by {Modified By}<br> {Description}<br> <font color=orange>Tags: {Tags}</font><br> Type:{Type} The above example assumes that the Sharepoint List contains a "Tags" and a "Description" column and produces the following output: Nbr. of Videos displayed: enter the maximum number of videos to be displayed in the playlist. Show Random Entry: select a random video from the playlist Show Video Thumbnails: show or hide the Youtube video thumbnail images to be displayed in the playlist.
