rstyoutube is a Python package for embedding YouTube videos in reStructuredText documents.
The code lives at http://bitbucket.org/cliff/rstyoutube. Bug reports, feature requests, and contributions are all welcome. If you find the code useful, hop on bitbucket and send me a quick message letting me know.
Usage
To use with pelican or another docutils-based system, add the following to your pelican configuration file:
import rstyoutube
rstyoutube.setup_docutils()
To use rstyoutube in standalone rst files, you can use the included rst2html+youtube.py script, which should get installed onto your PATH.
In your reST document, include a youtube directive with the video's id as the sole argument as follows:
This is my document
.. youtube:: 5blbv4WFriM
Hope you enjoyed the video.
That's all it takes.
Options
If you want more fine-grained control, you can add various options:
.. youtube:: 5blbv4WFriM
:start: 67
:width: 640
:height: 480
:ssl:
:hd:
start
The number of seconds into the video where you want to start playback.
width
height
The size of the embedded viewer. Defaults to 640x480, or if the hd option is set, defaults to 1080x720.
ssl
This option takes no arguments. If it is present, the player is embedded over https, rather than http.
hd
This option takes no arguments. If it is present, the embedded video is shown in HD. The player's default size becomes 1080x720, but can still be overridden using the width and height options.
