    I read about embedding the youtube code into textobjects txt file, but where does this textfile go?

    How does it know what album or subalbum the video is displayed in?

    Does each video get it's own textfile?

    Any help would be appreciated, maybe even seeing a textobjects file.

    If you enable the textobject plugin text files (see the plugin doc what suffixes are supported) are used like images or real videos. So you put it into an album like you do with images or real multimedia files.

    The textobject content is simply displayedand if this is embed code of a service that is displayed. Theoetically you can put several youtube videos into one file or even mix. Whatever you like. It was originally not made for this use. but it is a nice trick to manage external videos Zenphoto otherwise cannot naturally being file system based.

    To have proper thumbnails for these follow the instruction for video thumbs.

    A demo of this is the screencasts album within the screenshots on our site.

    WOW.....

    Embedding YouTube videos were a charm.

    I made a txt lie for each video, and changed the default png graphic to a YouTube. Graphic.

    You guys are wonderful.

    Take a . Peek if you would like to see what it looks like.
