Read morePlayer supporting Youtube hosted videos - playing a list of videos?
Hi there. I wanted to ask what do you think is the best way of playing a number of videos one after another, either by creating a playlist on youtube or a playlist in Drupal via Views.
I basically have a number of videos that I will probably put on YouTube. They are short videos that need playing one after another in some way. I've been using Flowplayer and Dash but don't mind changing it if you can recommend something.
So far I've been unable to successfully use Dash as it seems to just continuously load but not showing the video.
I would really appreciate any help,

Adding extra text fields per video
I've tried looking through the module files and can't see how to add a video title field for each video.
I even installed the ImageField Extended module to add an extra text field but it doesn't display the extra text field I added.
It shows this extra text field when uploading a file with the FileUpload widget though.
Is there a way to add this field?
thanks
HTML5 Video Player for Drupal
VideoJS is an HTML5 Video Player with 3 core parts: An embed code (Video for Everybody), a Javascript library (video.js), and a pure HTML/CSS skin (video-js.css).
Using Video for Everybody as the embed code means you know it’s compatible with many devices (including ones without javascript).
The javascript library fixes browser & device bugs, and makes sure your video is even more compatible across different browser versions.
