here‘s what I do (PHP) to either embed YT or Vimeo players for media_type=video correctly; might be helpful to you: https://github.com/zorgch/zorg-code/blob/b4772a0611de37608927f77507c47259e06a28f3/www/includes/apod.inc.php#L172

Good morning, I don't understand what the code does, could it link to a visitable version? In essence, does it recover the content of the iframe? Being my goal to style the player I could try to simply enrich YouTube URLs with these APIs. https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters This is for YouTube. I do not exclude proposing an extension of these APIs to obtain enriched URLs. Alternatively, you could retrieve the HTML of the iframe, modify it and add it to the document via JavaScript if necessary. Thanks for the contribution.
