EmbedClip

Direct* YouTube playback. Embed* video players from services like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, UStream, Livestream... or any other embed code into WS.WebTV.
This extension will allow you to:
1) Playback YouTube videos directly* with the WS.WebTV video player: Like any other WebTV video Clip.

2) Replace the WS.WebTV video player with any embed code*. This is very useful for using broadcasting/live streaming services like UStream, Livestream/Vimeo, etc. with your WebTV. Additionally, it will allow you to embed any video player (Windows Media Player, Real Player, etc.) or website´s embed code into a WebTV Channel.

What is an EmbedClip?
An EmbedClip is a special type of Clip that, instead of linking to video files, it stores an embed code or YouTube URL. When a YouTube URL is supplied, WS.WebTV will playback the video directly*; however, when a conventional embed code (HTML) is supplied, the WS.WebTV video player will get replaced by the embed code (at playback time).

This extension is complemented by the Batch Creator. If you use both extensions you will be able to mass embed videos from YouTube (including channels and playlists), Vimeo and Dailymotion.

Possible uses/applications Play YouTube videos like any other WS.WebTV Clip. Since YouTube videos will be played back like native Clips*, you can include them into any Channel playlist, mixed up with other Clips.

Use third party video broadcast/live streaming services like UStream, Livestream/Vimeo or similar video broadcasting websites that supply embed code. Those services allow you to do live broadcasts using a video camera or webcam, without needing costly dedicated servers, media servers, etc.

Embed Real Video, Windows Media, SilverLight, etc. Since this extension allows you to use any HTML/embed code, (if you require so) you can embed other specialized video players or plugins like Windows Media Player, Real Player, SilverLight, etc.
