Does anyone know if there's a way to implement HD quality videos of youtube on the API youtbe playlist to use it on my website?
I've heard of using a php script but what I don't understand how can you incorporate that to the actual API playlist of Youtube on your website.
Do have a solution for this?
I have the same problem
As far as I can tell from looking at a few of them, the HD YouTube videos are not yet available using the YouTube API generated playlist.
I could be wrong; if you have a sample playlist from the YouTube API that has HD videos, please post a link and I'll have a look at it.
So how does this work Kennedn14
Is there an option to pick HD in making a playlist or option to feature the videos only in HD?
@Kennedn14
And? Can you do something for us? I don't like SD! ;o)

that's still low quality
I don't think you can use YouTube generated Playlists and make them HD only.
HOWEVER, you can create your own playlist and make it YouTube HD/HQ videos only.
See this article I wrote for details, especially if you use JOOMLA.

Make a youtube playlist
Yes, you CAN !
you can both provide a hd playlist link AND embed a pure hd playlist.
most of it is done by adding a &hd=1 to the direct playlist link.
See here for details: http://aroddo.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-make-youtube-hd-playlists.html
here's an example of an embedded HD playlist:
http://aroddo.blogspot.com/2009/05/slow-motion-demigods-rook.html
Unfortunately, this only seems to be working for embedded players for now. If I change this feed:
bc.. http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/recently_featured?v=2
into this one:
bc.. http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/recently_featured?v=2&hd=1
.. there’s still no HD version of the clips.
Does anybody else know how to do this with playlists?
http://www.squidoo.com/youtubehd follow those instructions youtube will always play hd if available so it works for any link :) solved!!!!!
Upon second viewing they give you a ton of information but this is the slice you need :D
On your YouTube Account page, click on Playback Setup and you're now able to choose "always show me higher quality when available" or "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" which is set by default.
So if you want to turn on HD, you must set "I have a fast connection. Always play higher-quality video when it's available" but only if you have a fast internet connection, otherwise you might find that videos don't play as quickly or smoothly.

HELLO ALL! NOTICE
bc.. FOR EVERYONE THAT POST SCRIPT : THINK TO POST A CLEAN SCRIPT AT THE END SO MEMBER COULD USE IT DIRECTLY WITHOUT TESTING ALL ONE BY ONE
.
CHEERS!
I noticed a new option on the embed link from the youtube pages: "embed in HD"
would that mean that HD is now available through API?
yep, didnt work for me either..
We'll be updating the player to use the new Chromeless YouTube player for 5.1. Keep your eyes posted for an update!

@Kennedn14,
Your YouTube playlist from:bc.. http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/D3BB04D85855E820?v=2
is only giving me low-quality FLV videos.

YouTube API docs: *http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html*
[i]"hd
Values: 0 or 1. Default is 0. Setting to 1 enables HD playback by default. *This has no effect on the Chromeless Player.* This also has no effect if an HD version of the video is not available. If you enable this option, keep in mind that users with a slower connection may have an sub-optimal experience unless they turn off HD. You should ensure your player is large enough to display the video in its native resolution."[/i]
I tested with the JW FLV Player and:bc.. 'file': 'http://www.youtube.com/v/_cpd_lHjFDk*&hd=1*',
didn't work...
youtube api plays "medium" file by default.
Unfortunately with current youtube api it's not possible to check available qualities before video start to play.
In my own flash project I check qualities once video started, then depending if HD quality available - do what is necessary to show HD icon and option to switch between qualities.
Works 100% for me.
