How to get Youtube video url was created by Gianluca Pantaleo

Hello guys,
I would like to add the og:video meta into K2 item.php file. So I tried to add this code:

<?php
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addCustomTag('
<meta property="og:video" content="'.$this->item->video.'"/>
');
?>

but

'.$this->item->video.'

return something like

{youtube}https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55CD_6dySek{/youtube}

and than joomla convert it in a more complex html output. Is it any way to get only the url to have this output:

<meta property="og:video" content="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55CD_6dySek"/>

Thanks a lot.

Hi. If ti will always be a Youtube video you can try this:

<?php
$video = preg_replace('%\{[a-z0-9-_]*\}(.*)\{/[a-z0-9-_]*\}%i', '\1', $this->item->video);
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addCustomTag('<meta property="og:video" content="'.$video.'"/>');
?>

I tried with your code but still returns the full html output:

<meta property="og:video" content="
<!-- JoomlaWorks "AllVideos" Plugin (v4.4) starts here -->
<div class="avPlayerWrapper avVideo">
	<div style="width:100%px;" class="avPlayerContainer">
		<div id="AVPlayerID_d3de9e25_1327127577" class="avPlayerBlock">
			<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/55CD_6dySek?rel=0&amp;fs=1&amp;wmode=transparent" width="100%" height="300" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen title="JoomlaWorks AllVideos Player"></iframe>
                </div>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- JoomlaWorks "AllVideos" Plugin (v4.4) ends here -->
"/>

Yes, this is normal, since the code in the template file is executed after the plugin code. You cannot do this with code in the template. You need to create a plugin and place the code there.

If you disable the code that is doing this the video will not play in your page. It is not recommended to modify the plugin since you will loose your changes in future updates.
