YouTubePlayer component seamlessly integrates YouTube video player into a Vaadin application.

The server-side API features all standard playback controls: cue, play, pause, stop, seek, volume, mute and quality as well as state, quality, error callbacks. Supports both "chromeless" and "embedded" modes.

Use this YouTube player when you need better programmatic playback controls than with the default embedded YouTube player. See also see the interactive demo application.

Dependencies: Java 5, SWFObject Add-on v1.2.1
