Forum:Embed Music without video?

Is there a way to embed music from youtube without seeing the video? I want it like the w:c:potcoplayers's main page, where the music plays automaticlly. Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 05:44, December 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * You can embed an iframe containing the youtube video with autoplay on. On the linked wiki, it's done through this page which is called on the main page through MusicMainPage . However, I would advise against using it - some, if not most users might find this annoying. — Sovq 07:46, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * And how exactly will I "embed an iframe containing the youtube video with autoplay on" and how to link it up? Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 08:47, December 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Take a look at the code in the linked MediaWiki page. The iframe block contains a link to a &amp;hl=en_GB&theme=dark&color=white&autoplay=1 youtube playlist. You just need to create a youtube playlist and link it accordingly. — Sovq 12:11, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

how am I suppose to understand any of this? And I don't see "&amp;hl=en_GB&theme=dark&color=white&autoplay=1 youtube playlist" So my question would be Where to start??? Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 04:35, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but how??? I click edit just now and it led me to sign up page even when I signed up already! Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 18:53, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, and how to make a YouTube playlist? Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 18:55, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * ......Guys? I plan this to be a new years present for people in my wiki.......so I would really appreciate if you could do something about it....soon....really soon....Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 04:35, January 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * To create a youtube playlist, you need to go to the video you want to add, click 'Add To' > 'Add to new playlist' and create the playlist. Once you create that playlist you can freely add or remove videos from it and access it from your user profile. One you open the playlist page, in the URL you'll see the ID of the playlist, which should have a format like 'PLXXXXXXXXXXX' - knowing this ID in necessary to be able to embed the playlist on you wiki.


 * Now you need to create a MediaWiki page, like the one linked above (the source can be viewed by anyone) and replace the playlist ID there (PL642D5114CD75FB09) with the ID of your own playlist. Afterwards, just add MusicMainPage to any page you want the music to autoplay. — Sovq 08:24, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 08:50, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Um...it don't play automaticlly for me...go here to see if there is anything wrong...Anakin Skyobiliviator ( talk ) 15:15, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

The playlist link directs &amp;hl=en_GB&theme=dark&color=white&autoplay=1 here. Either there's a typo in the URL or that playlist doesn't exist. — Sovq 15:25, January 1, 2012 (UTC)


 *  is the code used on the mediawiki page MediaWiki:MusicMainPage on the potcoplayers wiki. I would also strongly advice against using it, since most people will find it VERY annoying if music starts to play without their consent and without them being able to shut it off.


 * To Sovq: for me the playlist works fine after loading it.
