Update. This is not the "embeded custom player" from YouTube that has been removed. It is a way of creating a custom player of your design by using the chromless player.

Id Like to know how to load the thumbnails from the youtube api into my custom player

[0nlineStudios]

@kounno I would suggest to use the JavaScript Api and send the info by targeting the player. That would meen a separate thumbnail section in HTML/Java

You can have playlists loaded though straight into the player. As to populating a Flash window with thumbnails... I have not done it or seen it, but should be possible.

Basic and quick, but i think it works ok.

@0nlineStudios Thank you. As it turns out I have made several youtube players with thumbnails since this but yes I agree that using javascript is better in some cases however in my case it was for a as3 class :)

The Youtube "Appy" HAHAHAHAH

I don't understand why Youtube would get rid of this feature, bring it back & then get rid of it again. It just doesn't make sense. They made it even better the last time. I'm trying to understand this tutorial, but I just don't I guess.
