Hello,
Today I will show you how to make your Clip-Bucket v2 powered website play YouTube videos when it is being browsed through a mobile device. This modification will work whether the videos where added via Embed Code or Remote Upload.
1. Log into your admin_area
2. From the left column, expand the Videos menu and click on Videos Manager
3. Find an embedded video from YouTube and click Edit
4. Scroll down for the Embed Code
5.1. If the embed code starts with “<object”, copy the 11 digit video key.
5.1.1 Remove that embed code and paste the following:
<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="{Width}" height="{Height}" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/***PASTE-VIDEO-KEY-HERE***?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
5.1.2 Replace ***PASTE-VIDEO-KEY-HERE*** with the video key you copied
5.2. If the embed code starts with “<iframe”, add
class="youtube-player" type="text/html"
after “<iframe”.
6. Update video details
And there you go! The video should now play on mobile devices; you must do this for each video. If you have any questions, please let me know! Comments and article suggestions are welcome.
Best Regards,
Richi González

Hello Sam,
What error are you getting?

So it you have THOUSANDS of videos embedded to your website you are basically screwed? There is no site-wide fix to make clipbucket compatible with mobile devices? I just got a notice from Google saying my thousands of pages are not compatible. “These pages will not be seen as mobile-friendly by Google Search, and will therefore be displayed and ranked appropriately for smartphone users.’
A fix that requires each individual embed code to be altered is a disappointing one.
Hello,
I know it’s disappointing that CB itself lacks this function, therefore I try to make it better. This was a kind of POC. I’ll be working on an automated way to do this to all previous videos.
