3 FRICKING MINUTES to find the answer... 3 FRICKIN MINUTES In the 10 years you have been doing this you have probably never actually coded 1 lick of it yourself. Am I going to give the code to you? Umm no You know how you send everyone those oh-so lame off-list vulgar filled messages ..

It's a kludge, but if you know how long the video is, then remove the controls and have it start as the page opens. Use a meta redirect to redirect the page after so many seconds. On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 8:12 AM, Dave Wattsdwa...@figleaf.com wrote: I'm wondering if there's a way to

There's a full js API to the YouTube player. Ideally, you'd hook into that, listen for a FinishedPlaying event and then do as you wish. http://tinyurl.com/noptmw :p Dominic 2009/9/1 Don L do...@yahoo.com hi all, I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically launch/redirect to a url at

Using the API would clearly be the *clean* option - but the problem is of course one of time. However, I can't see another way of doing this; i.e. detecting the end of a youtube video playing. I'd suggest you'd spend more time figuring out a hack than you would picking up the API. Dominic

+1 @Dominic I gotta believe that working with a published and documented API is, by definition, the LEAST messy option out there. If YouTube gives you exactly what you need to get to where you want to be with a few lines of JS, I would recommend doing that!

I certainly wouldn't worry about redirecting them at the end of the video.. I have seen the said video and you are better off figuring out how to capture a browser close during the first 10 seconds if you plan on getting any of those people.

I have to think that with all of the time you're wasting trying to figure out how to do it another way, you could have been done doing it the proper way via the provided API. Yeah, what Charlie said. Google has given you the keys to the kingdom. I looked at the code samples. Not all that
