Using the YouTube API via Ext
With the YouTube API recently released, there’s bound to be lots of cool controls coming out soon. Thorsten Suckow-Homberg spent a weekend hacking up a Ext-based user extension that leverages YouTube’s chromeless API to build The Ext.ux.YoutubePlayer.
The Ext.ux.YoutubePlayer allows developers to embed youtube videos into Ext applications, using native Ext components for controlling the video playback. It’ll show the buffer status and let’s you jump to any part in the video using a slider component.
Cool features include:
- Showing the buffer status
- Playback slider that let’s you jump to any position in the video playback
- Mute/unmute the video
- Overall volume control
I whipped up a demo for all to see.

really smooth! Exactly ExtJS style :)
Dragging the corners scales the video. Beautiful.
Thats pretty sexy.
Gotta love the min setup/download time.
One more piece to add to my EXT collection :) Thanks for the great work.
Pressing the maximize/minimize button causes the video to start all over again.
I like this awesome guy.
Thanks I’ve been looking for this
