Hello,
A couple of days ago, a user named jernate, commented in one my articles if it was possible to automatically add to every embedded video the famous YouTube’s modestbranding feature (read how to add it manually here), a feature that removes the YT logo, so I thought it’d be cool to share this with you all. Tested under Clip-Bucket v2.6.
Make sure you make a backup of the files that are to be modified in case you’d like to revert changes in the future.
1. Open ./plugins/embed_video_mod/embed_video_mod.php
2. Find
return $val;
and before that line, insert
/*******************************/
/*START of modestbranding=1 MOD*/
/*******************************/
//Add ?modestbranding=1 always by default to YouTube Embedded Videos
if(stristr($val,'youtube') !== FALSE && stristr($val,'modestbranding=1') === FALSE) {
$mb = "?modestbranding=1";
$ytidlength = 11; //Length of YT Video IDs
//If code is an iframe
if(stristr($val,'<iframe') !== FALSE) {
//src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ (34 chars)
$start = strpos($val,'src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/"'); //Position where src starts
$val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+34+$ytidlength, 0);
}
//If it is the old YT embed code
if(stristr($val,'<embed') !== FALSE || stristr($val,'<object') !== FALSE) {
//value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ (32 chars)
$start = strpos($val,'value="http://www.youtube.com/v/'); //Position where value starts
$val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+32+$ytidlength, 0);
//src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ (30 chars)
$start = strpos($val,'src="http://www.youtube.com/v/'); //Position where src starts
$val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+30+$ytidlength, 0);
}
}
/*****************************/
/*END of modestbranding=1 MOD*/
/*****************************/
3. Save & Upload

Hi Richi, thank you for posting the article. I see this will work for the embed_video_mod. I was hoping this would work for the mass youtube video embedder. That’s what I have. I normally make 50-60 videos at a time and use the mass embedder to post all of the vids I uploaded to youtube. Is that possible?
Thank you
Hello,
It would be definitely possible, however, I don’t have the files and key for that plugin. I’m afraid I won’t be able to assist you with that.

Richi
Hi Richi,
when I use it I will get error “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/******/embed_video_mod/embed_video_mod.php on line 136” when I want to open my page.
Where can be a problem?
Thanks
Jan
Hi,
The line needs to be
$val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+32+$ytidlength, 0);You are missing a ‘+’ after the 32
Regards.
Hello,
Thank you, Noah. I’ve corrected the article with the change.

Hello,
There was a small error in the code, which has been corrected already. Let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with.
Regards,
Richi
I found the error at the code:
Line 21
WRONG: $val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+32$ytidlength, 0);
CORRECT:$val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+32+$ytidlength, 0);
Line 24
WRONG: $val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+30$ytidlength, 0);
CORRECT $val = substr_replace($val, $mb, $start+30+$ytidlength, 0);
But it doesnt work for me. I upload new videos and Youtube logo still appearing.
Hello,
Thanks, the article has been corrected.
