| Embedded Youtube Player and BandwidthI'm not a web guy and am hoping someone can set me straight.
I want to reduce bandwidth for embedded youtube videos, that are just for listening.
If I use this code
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="262" height="25" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/TIB21xwe7cY?version=2&theme=dark"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/TIB21xwe7cY?version=2&theme=dark" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object>
to embed a youtube video I get a player that looks like this.
But does this this sample page actually require less bandwidth than it would if I embedded the standard size video?
I'm not sure how to tell. |

| No, you will get the same stream, only you will display a resized (to 0) version of the video.
You may save on CPU power though... |

If you're asking about bandwidth on your server, then embedding a YouTube video does not impact your server bandwidth (the source still comes from YouTube).
If you're asking about the person watching it (i.e. you), then it would have minimal impact on bandwidth, however this is on your internet connection...of which most bandwidth caps are high.
It appears that, depending on your site/platform, there are some options.

1 edit | This is for the user's experience. Specifically for a music thread here at DSLR.
cowboyro  's reference to memory is spot on. Those with slow or under-RAM'd machines are struggling with a page full of yt embeds.
I'd like to be able to embed the yt player - like I showed above - into a DSLR post.
My guess is that a site mod is needed to accomplish it.
