Convert a oEmbed script over to [login to view URL] to get Youtube videos URLs to embed correctly

Currently have a Business catalyst website that is running a WebApp for a Video Gallery that uses Youtube & Vimeo URL's to embed the videos using the original [url removed, login to view] embedding script.

This oEmbed script was initially work fine when we started development, however in the last couple of days the Youtube videos have stopped displaying. The Vimeo videos are still working using this script so the script is not broken as such.

I have since found out that Youtube seem to be now utilising the [url removed, login to view] concept to deliver their oEmbed service which is probably why the original oEmbed script is no longer effective - This is mainly because you need to have [url removed, login to view] "keys" included in the API calls (which requires an [url removed, login to view] account and their scripting to facilitate).

Essentially because of the Youtube changes it looks like we now need to drop the [url removed, login to view] script and implement the [url removed, login to view] scripts ([url removed, login to view]) if we want both Youtube and Vimeo to work from one script. Embedly supports Vimeo as well so this is the logical solution.

We have set up an [url removed, login to view] account however we need:

A. someone who is comfortable with implementing the [url removed, login to view] jquery library,

B. who is familiar with the Business Catalyst platform, and

C. who can effectively convert our current oEmbed configuration over to the new [url removed, login to view] jquery library without loosing any of the current functionality - eg URL's are currently populated from a BC database that is created by user submitted forms.

The pages in question were live for a short time but we have had to turn them off now until we find a resolution.

However, I've attached some sample layout screenshots and html so you can get an idea of what is involved.

There is a list view layout and a single detail view layout. (note: we are using css to hide / display divs dependent on whether a video is vimeo or youtube - this parameter is stipulated from the database).

I trust that is enough information for you to put a proposal together to change over from oEmbed to the [url removed, login to view] jquery library.

Look forward to receiving proposals

Thank you to all the freelancers who have put forward proposals - much appreciated.

However, it appears that Youtube has now reinstated support for the oEmbed script library so this conversion project is no longer required by our client and will be cancelled shortly.

Apologies for the any inconvenience this may have caused, it was not out intention to waste peoples time, and we look forward to being able to engage in other Business Catalyst projects with you all in the near future.

Thanks
