I'll have to test this further, but when I tried to use this after a recent update it kept pointing to a location in the User directory. The resulting page was just blank. I was able to locate the location it was pointing to, and edit it with the appropriate UR, so i was able to get the video to play. Then someone decided they wanted to improve on the video, so that edited it and burned it to a DVD. I ended up deleting the vidoe from the program list and forgot about it.

I haven't tried this on the projection PC, but it works OK on my workstation. I haven't figured out how I might show something from Tangle(GodTube).

I just tried it again, and this time it presented the YouTube video, but wouldn't play it. I had to move the mouse to, and click, the "Play" button on the display window. I prefer to be able to add the following to the URL.

http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=(video_ID_here)&vq=large

The down side to the above is figuring out what the video ID is.

The behaviour you noted is correct as the current implementation links to the video but does not initiate playback - this must be done manually.

Regarding manually using URLs, this is also possible via the address bar in the current display once you have displayed a saved web page.

Just finished watching the tip of the week on youtube import

I know I would prefer if it would auto play, rather than having to click the play button.

But it is certianly a step in the right direction.

We just used this feature Sunday for our Missions video from youtube. Excellent. Everything played smoothly and it is a much better option to the spin up time of a dvd.

It looks like YouTube has mad a change to their site, and now the play button is required, no matter how the object is added to the program list.

Just append "&autoplay=1" to the youtube URL. I'm sure at some stage SSP will implement this automagically.

I just tried the following, and it still places the play button in the middle of the screen. Am I doing something wrong, or am I just out of luck?
