Adding Youtube Video as site background

Permalink May 27, 2011 at 1:41 PM

I would like to code this function into my theme as perhttp://pupunzi.open-lab.com/mb-jquery-components/jquery-mb-ytplayer...

I believe I have done whats required but cant get it to work. I have added the files into my theme folder into the inc and css folders and then added:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="inc/jquery.metadata.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="inc/jquery.mb.YTPlayer.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="inc/swfobject.js"></script><link href="css/mb.YTVPlayer.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

into my header

and

<a id="bgndVideo" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsekcY04xvQ" class="movie {opacity:.8, isBgndMovie:{width:'window',mute:true}, ratio:'16/9',quality:'default'}">Bill Viola</a>

into my themes default.php file. But I simply cant get the video to load. Sorry not very good at this but thought I had done everything right. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

No, not my plugin but I just remember seeing it. I thought it could possibly make your life easier and allow you to accomplish what you were trying to do. Best of luck.
