Hi. I'm building a website that will include embedded videos, and I've decided to use YouTube for video hosting as it's got the best functionality and the largest community.

However, I would like to use a custom embedded player (using the Chromeless API) because the official YouTube player is too associated with amateur sites. Features I'm looking for:

  • Very basic functionality with simple but smooth controls (play/pause button, progress/download bar and full screen button). Basically like the official player but without any clutter (no rating etc). The javascript API doesn't seem to have full screen support, so I guess the only option is a player using the flash API.
  • Clicking on the movie outside the controls will not go to the YouTube video page but will play/pause video.
  • The YouTube logo will be kept next to the progress bar in the bottom-right corner, linking to the YouTube video page, to not violate any TOS.

What's the best unofficial YouTube embedded player out there today? Is there one matching my requirements?

Thanks
