YouTube Player Editor

Overview

The YouTube Player Editor plugin allows you to manage and display YouTube videos and playlists inside your CMSimple_XH website. It includes an editor for adding and removing video's and a player interface that reads from a playlist file.

Installation

1. Unzip youtube_player_editor.zip.
2. Upload the folder youtube_player_editor to your /plugins/ directory.
3. Ensure the structure looks like this:

   plugins/
   └── youtube_player_editor/
       ├── admin.php
       ├── editor.php
       ├── player.php
       ├── functions.php
       ├── get_title.php
       ├── playlist.json
       ├── playlist_backup.json
       ├── index.php
       ├── help/
          └── help.htm
   
   

   Ensure the webserver has write permissions for playlist.json and playlist_backup.json.

Usage
