Hi Folks, I am no expert whatever on HTML (at best I can do the basic basics), so if there's a solution to the following query please spell it out!
I'm trying to concoct a web-page which would play, in sequence and without user intervention, a series of movies from YouTube.
...
I don't know if this is even possible without some embedding of durations, since once a YouTube link is opened there is (as far as I can tell) no indication of completion, so it stays there until the user does something else. With durations, it may be possible for the HTML to step to the next YouTube URL after that time has elapsed (though I've no idea how to program that).
You could use straight forward frames so that a small controlling window at the top loads the main content below. What if the user starts pressing on things? Pause, fast forwards, rewind, etc.?
The simplest would be to embed all the videos on one page, at let the user click play on each one in turn.
Hope this helps, Tim.
